Post pics of your watches Part II

I can't wear a watch with the strap in any way loose at all. If it's loose it always ends up rotating so that when I turn my wrist to read the time it's still facing up, or slightly away from me. Really annoying. Probably not good for the strap but generally I push the watch higher up my wrist until it's tight and won't move giving me a better viewing angle. Anyone else.have this issue?

Most of my watches are on bracelets, and true, they turn a fair bit. But I seem to be in the middle, not a chance of wearing them if another link removed.

Though through lockdown they are becoming tighter.

It's why ratcheting clasps are great (not just for divers) - gives you the precise control to expand and contract the bracelet as needed.

In the absence of that - there should be micro-adjust holes in the clasp too which may give you the 0.1-0.2 extra mm needed.

Been trying this, not bad.

Pagani Batman, its some spec for cheap as chips

It has a tiny spec under the crystal, bit smaller than I had anticipated

But for E100 - not too shabby

I find if you offset the clasp of your straps it saves this issue! On my Sinn I have 3 removable links at 12 o clock and 1 at 6 o clock. On leather, order the buckle part longer. 80/105mm strap works a charm for me. Couldn’t live with the standard 70/120mm on the last nomos strap I bought.

Quick n dirty hack, swap the buckle side to 6 o clock and see if it makes a difference.

Not as fancy as many shared here but this has been on my wrist every day for the past 19 years. The replacement capacitor and various other repairs have cost more than the original purchase. After much humming and hawing, its successor will be the Sólás Starlight, so this one can finally retire when it turns 20.

Ideal, I see Invictas, Pagani etc with those Seiko movements like a Toyota car. Not the fancy man's high end but a nice reliable motor (or watch) Nice body and a reliable, respectable engine :cool:

I just had this arrive in the post.



It is the NTH Barracuda Polar White. I have to say that I think its a beauty. NTH made 50 of them in total in this run, 25 date and 25 no-date; so I am very happy to have gotten one. It looks like this no-date version sold out very quickly.



This is it on the wrist. I need to size it, but annoyingly the screws in the strap are much smaller than any of my other straps so I have nothing that will work. Very irritating!

Cool watch! Any link?

Find out what size screw driver you need and get one from Bergeon. Costs a bit more than your typical budget screwdriver from B&Q but pretty reasonable all the same. That's exactly what I did for adjusting the bracelet of my Rolex. Could probably have done it with one of my existing (cheapo) screwdrivers, but just did not want to take the risk

I got it from Serious Watches (https://www.seriouswatches.com/collections/nth/products/nth-barracuda-polar-white-no-date)
The service was top quality, I would highly recommend them.

Linky no worky. But yeah, my last watch is also from Serious Watches, but I bought it second hand. Great value for money it is too. Mine is the JC homage. Wearing it now.

Pablo_Flox

The link should work now

Inspired by the Solas Starlight thread to get my first watch I decided to get another while I'm waiting for delivery...not sure if the day/date is a good omen though :eek:

A friend pointed out it's not just Friday 13th - but Friday 13th of 2020 :pac: ... stay safe guys (and gals)!

I'm gonna cover myself in bubble wrap and sit in the middle of the room praying to all the deities I can remember at 13:13...

My best mate got married on a Friday 13th. Sure that woudn't mean bad luck? He was divorced 7 years later

and i was right

The way the Soviets screwed over the Poles in that was nothing short of vile. /aside

Welll wear, its suits you. I really wish I could have kept it, but because I love to make bad watch decisions, I needed to become more liquid rapidly. I did however have the privilege of trying on Cyrus's VC Offshore...and well thats a special watch. Know you have a buyer on that should you ever decide to sell. I have sold my JLC and Omega this weekend, people are thirsty of watches at the moment, a pal of mine is mid purchase on a fancy forum watch also. A good time for trading.
