Kicking things off here, Tudor P01 at 42mm width and 55.7mm L2L, next to the JLC at 34mm width by 36mm L2L. I know there have been historical threads on this but I wanted to see a fresh update, if you will, on what people are rocking currently since co…
Continue readingI Bought the Infamous Tudor (Review & Wrist Shots)
Yup, the P01, the recently discontinued Tudor. I wanted something out of the norm like the Omega Ploprof for the collection, and this fits the bill (though I did originally wince when I saw the L2L length of 55mm, and that’s without the articulating portion of the watch that the strap attaches to). I took a chance, placed an order, and it arrived today.

Seiko 38SQ (1974) Accuracy Report
Going on 13 days, this watch has kept time within a second. Not bad for an early 51 year old Quartz watch with analog TC.
I’ve also cycled this watch out with other watches, so it hasn’t been on the wrist over the 13 days consistently.
…
Continue readingConsidering the Tudor P01
Hi all,
Was thinking of picking up a Tudor P01, though I was wondering if there is trouble finding straps and bracelets that are short enough to accommodate those hinged lugs. I have ~6.75in flat wrists.
Anyone out there that owns one of these? Thank…
Continue readingNew (but old) Seiko Acquisition
One V.F.A. Seiko wasn’t enough – when I stumbled upon this example in very good condition, I had to pull the trigger. It is from 1974, and features the 7 jewel 3823 V.F.A. movement (the first Quartz watch to feature analog thermal compensation, and a +/- 5 SPM accuracy), antimagnetic shielding, a very unique hexagonal gold-capped case, and a fantastically textured and legible dial.
Continue readingThese were the most expensive from the V.F.A. lineup (excluding the PM models), at 164,000 JPY. To put it in…
Do you watch any watch influencers or watch-related content creators content?
Curious to see how many people on here actively consume watch-related content/videos. I sometimes tune in here and there to Teddy Baldassarre’s videos, along with This Watch, That Watch / Mike (who is my favorite content creator surrounding watches currently).
Continue readingCan anyone tell me what this watch is?
I’ve been trying to remember who the maker of this wandering hour & minute hand complication is. Usual searches haven’t revealed it, frustratingly enough.
Continue readingBasically, both hour and minute hands are seated on two parallel lines, and will slide up and down the dial as the minutes and hours pass. When they get to the end of the line of travel, the hands will rotate 180 degrees before starting their ascent or descent again down the line.
I tried drawing this quickly from memory, could be off…
Do you think Universal Geneve will succeed overall after their reintroduction?
With the upcoming reintroduction of UG, I’d think they’d do pretty well by sticking closer to some of their classic watch designs (perhaps upscaling the original sizes up 3-5mm for a more modern look). A reintroduction of the 1-69 with better hairsprin…
Continue readingIs 44mm the maximum watch size for a good fit on my wrist?
Just collecting some opinions- does 44mm hit about the maximum size that would look decent on my ~6.9in. wrist? The L2L measurement is quite long on this particular watch at 51mm.
Some pictures – one taken from viewing perspective and one at a distan…
Continue readingCertina DS-2 Precidrive – a great quartz watch
Around 2-ish years ago, I was thinking about whether or not to get a Certina Precidrive Chronograph. I decided not to at the time, but eventually picked one up before they disappeared from online stores.
For a quick bullet list of why these things are…
