Registered: 14 July, 2012 Posts: A bunch! |
the other day, I was so embarrassed that I don't have any decent
photos, I determined to remedy that sad situation. I mean, I have
precisely one photo showing it on the the OEM bracelet. 
That photo has such a busy background, I've always hated it. 
And, while I like the Robmks homage combo, I don't actually wear it that way very often.
Too dark, low contrast.. 
The watch is actually much more legible than that!
Brothers!

Re: Reminds me, I gotta get me a chrono again... A little bird told me you've been kicking some tires in a serious way...

 Very gratifying, coming from yourself.
{sigh} Seems I can't help but get some sort of dial reflection.
I know, I know! I really should be using a light tent...

Huh? Besides the different bezel, I just noticed that mine has screw down pushers, which is different than yours.

Oh, they've made *several* versions over the years... Including one early version with a slaved 12-Hour indicator at 6 o'clock. I'm still tying to figure out the rationale behind that.
BTW, I'm familiar with screwdown pushers a la Alpha, as my Racer Pearl uses them. Very nice! Smooth, positive action & plenty of thread engagement. Couldn't ask for better!

Re: What size is that bracelet btw? 20, or 22 mm? Forgive me, but I got to ask.
Do you actually read the posts?  Or just look at the photos?

Re: Do you actually read the posts? Well, from most people I do, sometimes with very long winding posts,
with a lot of distraction of all kinds of pictures in it, I tend to get
sidetracked...

Ah! So you're holding out for "Chinese Watches For Dummies"... Wise man! It's gonna be a Blockbuster!
And don't worry, it'll be out any day now... |

Nice watch, and it just goes to show that... ... Affordable doesn't always equal HTSFD.

One has GOT to have his standards. Even this hoity-toity fellow has a couple watches whose hands are short. ish.
