I will visit the local AD, but I think this one is a no buy.
Date - disturbs the harmony of the dial
No rotating bezel
No red arrow movable by the bezel.
Not sure about the dial colour, will see...

About 4-5 years ago, when I bought my Longines (Czechoslovak Airforce) I sent an email to Longines in Switzerland if they were interested in recreating it. I got an email back that stated that they...
Please tell me how to post pics!!
It is nice to personalize a cheap watch, to give it your 'mark". Maybe sandblast a matt case, polish a matt case. A hardcore fanatic might even change the dial!
Factory modifications are...
You forgot the Tuning Fork movement and the Electric movement, Geoff baby!
But as a general timekeeping post - well done! :tiphat:
Do not forget, you need to earn your seat at the table!!
Welcome!
(insert the Swiss brand name here) Hi! Can you please lower the prices to a realistic level?
For me, a High End watch must meet these criteria.
Small production
Higher than average "human input" in manufacturing
Inhouse or highly enhanced/modified movement
Movement must perform at COSC...
Are there many Sinners on this forum?
I like Sinn. Superb quality, affordable price and some very interesting technology!
I have a U2 since 8 years, and my wife an EZM 3 for about 7 years, both are...
I think the "beginning" is very promising. The mods are experienced horology geeks, and a lot of the members too.
Of course, it is important that us members develop this site by posting interesting...
I got no tattoos, but does a Regimental Scarification count????
No new watch in the pipeline. Too many expenses for the next year or so. Of course, if one of my Grails pops out, then I will change my priorities!!
Welcome!!
In my case I had no choice. :wink2:
Ahhhh, YES!
A good informative Invicta vs Rolex thread. Missed those!
Yes, it seems a lot of old internet friends / WIS have started here.
Including my favourite mods!!
There would be no fight, as the Elves would run on the first sighting of the Grand Seikos on the Samurai's wrists!
Nice! They knew how to make watches in those days!!
I agree, a MilPil forum should be added soon. But please do not create too many sub forums, individual manufacturers, like on the "other forum' most of us belonged to. Becomes too confusing.
Yes. Made by Samurais from finest materials.
I like to use High End on watches of a higher ( than industry standard) workmanship and quality.
Also I like a small-ish production for these watches.
Most people ( average Joe) see High End on...
Now I rotate between a Sinn U2 and a Panerai.
I could not imagine to have my watches in a bank safety box. If my house was unsafe ( weak doors and windows) I would get a safe. I think it is...
Which is better, Omega or Rolex?
Omega!
Rolex!
Omega!
No, no, Rolex!
IMHO it depends on what you think is important!
Second hand value - Rolex
Recognition amongst the "unwashed" - Rolex...
I think it is nice if people keep the old name, maybe with just a small change. Nice to know who you post with!
I did not do any change. My memory is not like it used to be!
So here is the short presentation for those that are not familiar with me from 'the other", dying, watch Forum:
Slightly middle aged guy. Tooth healer by profession. Scandinavian that relocated to...
At the moment he supports the Ladies. Just started Uni in UK.
Thanks all, and a big THANKS to Geoffbot that emailed me about this Watch Forum!
