SW200 on watchwinder: doesn’t fully wind!

I have a “Triple Tree” watch winder I bought from Amazon. I’ve had several different watches on it for days at a time with no issue.

The other day, I put my Doxa Army (SW200-1) on it. I noticed that it was losing time after a few days. I put it on the timegrapher, and noticed the amplitude was very low (~250-260 degrees). The movement was also slow (~-10spd). I took the watch off, wound it manually several times, put it back, and the amplitude was back up (~310 degees) and the timekeeping…

Frustrating Doxa CS experience: am I the crazy one?

I just got a Sub 300, LNIB, from a fellow WUSer. I love it. I don’t like the clasp on the Sub 300. I also have the Army, 300T, and 200T, all of which have the “ratcheting diver clasp.” I MUCH MUCH prefer the ratcheting clasp over the stamped, unadjustable clasp on the 300.

So I tried to buy a 300T bracelet on the Doxa website. It’s not available for purchase. I wrote an email to Doxa CS asking if I could buy an Army or 300T bracelet to put on my 300. They responded with some gobbledy-****…

FSO: Tuul “Filthy 13”

For sale only, no trade offers please, is a nearly new Tuul “Filthy 13” with bronze case. As the photos show, the bronze is starting to develop a nice patina. I’m selling because (pick your favorite): I didn’t bond with it, catch and release, not getting any wrist time, needs to go where someone will wear it, etc….

I bought this in Oct 2024 and only wore it a couple of times. I didn’t wear it on the included strap except to try it on. It comes full kit with warranty good until Oct 2026…

Price reduced; canvas strap removed from sale (could be added back in if wanted).

Up for sale, no trades please, is my Sinn UX GSG 9. I bought this a couple of years ago from a fellow WUSer. I have my eye on the U50 Hydro, and can’t have both, so this goes up for sale.

Epic fail: brand new Hemsut strap disintegrates

Today, I received the second Hemsut strap I’ve ordered direct from the maker. I was excited about this strap; it’s comfortable and I love the aesthetic for this tool watch:

Fast-forward a couple of hours. I’ve just come home from a meeting and am changing clothes when my watch falls to the floor. How did that happen?? Because of this:

The strap just disintegrated. I did not get it wet…
