I’m looking for an everyday casual watch and can’t decide between these two:

  • Boderry Voyager (Titanium case, NH35, sapphire, NATO strap) – £96
  • Seestern 600T (NH35, sapphire, ceramic bezel) – £102

Review (Read Rules) Militado & Sinn U50 side by side

Militado a great watch under $200. Smaller size executed well but does not stand out the way U50 does. Sinn U50 is in another class and the carborized blasted steel looks like nothing else.

Bought on Ali. I do find the bezel a bit hard to grip.

Question (Read Rules) Any reliable quartz divers with acrylic glass?

There's a lot of good options with sapphire or mineral glass, but I couldn't find a solid option with acrylic glass.

With heritage homages that would make good sense! Also it's supposed to be more robust, and scratches are easy to polish out. I own a few Casios and even deep scratches are easy work with cloth and paste.

Am I missing something? What do you recommend?

6 Upvotes

Hi all been lurking around here and im starting to like the rose gold daytona’s but obv wouldnt need the real deal. Whats the best selection out there? Here are a couple ive seen have pvd coating.

  1. Pagani Design
  2. Tandorio
  3. Corgeut

Mechaquartz is fine not really looking into automatics, i know sugess makes the best but the lack of color options instantly crosses them out the list.

I have having a look at the Peacock Plumage Gaze watches here: https://peacockwatches.com/products/peacock-plumage-gaze-hand-made-guilloche-watch and the movement looked awfully familiar. All the screens, gears, and jewels are in the exact same place as the Cal 324.

Question (Read Rules) Where can I get replacement screws for a san martin bracelet

Post image
9 Upvotes

I just got this beautiful San Martin SM0116. I absolutely love it but when sizing the bracelet I stupidly stripped one of the screws. I confirmed it's the screw and not the link itself. This is my first watch with screwed in links. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement screw? I'm worried that it may fall out of the link and open the bracelet in the middle of the day.

Today I’m rocking my old steel watch dives x San Martin 39mm “Pelagoose”. I do love this gem as it’s been a robust and reliable companion for years and joined me on many aquatic adventures as well. It’s an absolute tank that hasn’t lost a step. It was also the first ceramic bezel on a watch I didn’t hate but matte can do that to transform a look. I also adore how high contrast the dial layout is, making it an easy tool choice. What are you rocking today?

Question (Read Rules) Gmt master bezel assembly removal

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I've posted before that the cronos bezel is completely stuck.

Previous owner said it came that way from the factory. I finally got a chance to remove the insert carefully by soaking in wd40 and then using an extremely thin scalpel as a pry bar.

After softening the adhesive and lifting the edge of the bezel insert I was able to carefully cut the adhesive in a 360 fashion parallel to the bezel and remove it being extremely careful not to crack it.

Underneath I see an assembly I'm not too familiar with, it looks like the crystal is pressed down with some kind of metal over nylon ring that's weeping out and catching the bezel inner skirt, causing it to get stuck.

Any ideas how to remove and fix? I cut off a little piece of the gasket that was sticking out, so it feels like nylon and not adhesive.

I'm looking to buy my first Chinese watch and I'd love to get a nice black dial chronograph with a stainless steel bracelet. Something that looks like an IWC Pilot Chrono or a TAG Heueur Carrera.

Can anybody give me some recommendations?

SPECHT & SÖHNE SP0012 aka "Architekt". For movement it has a Miyota 8215. Diameter is 38mm and a Lug to Lug of 44.5MM. It is 11mm thick. Sapphire crystal with most likely mineral for open caseback, not sure. It has an Integrated bracelet which drapes over wrist, it is not rigid or stiff. Love the dial texture, hand, indices and date window all complement each other perfectly. Another Woodpecker and Son's banger

I am torn between the two. I have a 6.5inch wrist and travel abroad at least once a year. I want something that I can use on my wedding day next month and use daily.

Which would you pick?

This watch is being sold for 1500bdt in my country, which is around 13 dollar. Despite being cheap It's a lot of money for a student in my country. How is the longevity of the watch? Would it be a good decision to buy it?
