As the title says no quoting pics you naughty chap Sparrowcar.

New or did someone flip it? I'm on the lookout for a 2nd hand military at the moment. Lovely watch.

It's new, I ordered about two weeks ago, it shipped yesterday from Germany and was on my desk my 10am.
Just need to get the bracelet resized tomorrow :-)
Or can anyone suggest somewhere to buy small screwdrivers in Dublin?

Eoin · 17-09-2013 11:23pm

That was quick! If you can manage to hang on for delivery, something like this could be a cheap but useful investment. I got a cheapy kit off eBay a while ago and it's definitely paid its way.

And 1.99 euro later I've got a perfectly resized bracelet :-)

Also, happy birthday to me :-)

Got today...put it on a Sand Canvas

corpo3030 · 20-09-2013 9:21pm

I'm gonna have to get myself a good quality mini screwdriver, I got a new Citizen but I can't re-size the bracelet so I have it on a leather strap.

Lex Luthor · 21-09-2013 8:27am

Arrived yesterday...only wore it for a few hrs yesterday evenining but already had a few comments passed as to how clear the dial is and easy to read. Strap is a bit rigid and will take some breaking in but already looking at a zulu options and maybe a silicon aswell

With no running seconds hand, at least its not so obvious that its a quartz until you start up the chronograph. Will probably be my weekend watch and the chrono will get some use aswell. It was important for me to get a chrono with the min hand at the 9 position as most of the time i will be using it will be from 11am to 4pm. Anywhere else there is a chance it would be obscured by the hour hand.

Only downside is the mineral crystal glass but for this price i wasnt expecting it. However if i could upgrade it to sapphire I'd look into it.

Anyone know where I could get this done and what kind of money it would be?

Exp 2 has departed, a little too samey with my ceramic sub,

Took this beast in exchange, its a stunner but very thick !

Decoda · 21-09-2013 5:45pm

Hi,

You guys have a lot to answer for.....I was happy enough with my old Casio until I stumbled across this thread.

Anyhow, just took delivery of my Marina Militare homage from Getat. It's a 44mm mini Fiddy case with the brushed case and polished bezel. The strap is their brown wooden vintage with a premium buckle. For the money I think that it's a great addition to my growing collection and I really love it. Thanks for looking.

Bit of Wheeling and Dealing done...This on the way, used but loved. Am using trades to work my way upwards...so this may be next in line, but all going to plan

That's a stunner as a piece of engineering & design - how are you finding it as a watch to wear ?

I ask because I have a strange leaning towards diver chronographs these days (I think my daily wearer on holiday has infected me - one of those newish Seiko Solar Dive Chronos - the pepsi bezel) and this PO would be in the mix if I act on my urgings.

its pretty massive, being titanium helps a lot as it keeps the weight down but 20mm thick is pretty tall :pac:

stunning looker tho

And you're selling it already?!

Definitely open to seeing what's out there, tried it because I love the looks but I can't see it being worn enough and it's too expensive to have to just look at

PM me when you do. One of my friends mentioned he really liked those a while ago.

D'Agger · 23-09-2013 11:23am

Piked up this last week, fairly happy with it, will do nicely as a day to day watch for work

Meant to be accurate to within +/-10s per year. We shall see!

About 0.25s fast after 6 weeks, but considering I set it by holding it up against the atomic clock webpage, there's a good chance it's not lost a second since.

My titanium skagen is now +6s, my rotary divers is +1.5s and my R&Co is +2s.

Lume shot of the Nav-01

Received one of these as an early birthday gift today:

Chuck_Norris · 02-10-2013 9:12pm

Wife bought this for me in Vegas. With a bit of dealing, and exchange rates, worked out at about €410.

Anyone got some pro camera setting tips for lum shots?

A longer than normal exposure with a lens that can dip down below F3.5 I reckon.
