Nothing ever seems to scratch the itch. I’m always onto the next thing before the honeymoon period has even ended with my latest squeeze.
Is there any hope?
I’ve been trying to do this seemingly simple task for 2 hours now without success. What the heck?? I’ve fitted hundreds of bracelets and straps before with no issues! Without resorting to ramming some kind of tool in there to help line the spring bar up and…
How the sweet chuff does one fit a Sinn rubber strap to the clasp??
…but mine wears a bit small on me. See the first two pics. Then there’s a pic of someone else diving with a U1 strapped next to a Seiko Turtle which dwarfs it. Finally there’s a pic or the U1 next to a 42mm Tudor Pelagos and frankly the Pelagos looks bigger.
What gives? On paper the U1 isn’t a small…
I’m curious because I would assume that it was bad practice but I read somewhere that when this chap took his watch off after wearing it all day he would pull the crown and freeze the movement until he next wore it so as to not lose the power reserve he had built up.
Opinions?
Can anyone confirm this claim?
I’m preferably wanting the briefcase style with 8-10 slots but will consider any suitably sized case or box at this point!
Any ideas?
My 4R Turtle is much heavier to wind, there is noticeably more resistance when handwinding. It’s not dreadful like a Sellita SW200 or anything but shouldn’t the 4R be as light if not lighter than the 6R? Or does it signify a lack of lubrication of sorts?
Why isn’t there an orange Turtle, an orange Willard, an orange Samurai etc in the range anymore? I’m not aware of them selling an orange-dialled dive watch for years.
