When I bought these, the Strapsco site said the standard length straps were a good fit for a 6 1/2" wrist. I'm wearing them with enough room to slide a pinky under (couldn't take a picture and have my pinky under the strap at the same time, hence the Sharpie, lol).

Strapsco shows short straps (20mm shorter overall) also and I'm almost at or one from the smallest hole with these.

Curious what you all think before I attempt a change, since I'm going to be stuck with shipping both ways...

Should I have ordered shorter straps?

Hi all, I did a search and came up with way too many threads and nothing looked like what I was looking for, so please forgive me.

my wife dug up an 80s Seiko women’s diver she hasn’t worn in 30 years and the thing looks awesome. It’s a quartz, so I ...

Hi all, I did a search and came up with way too many threads and nothing looked like what I was looking for, so please forgive me.

my wife dug up an 80s Seiko women’s diver she hasn’t worn in 30 years and the thing looks awesome. It’s a quartz, so I put a battery in it and it works perfectly. The problem is, the gasket is shot. I can only assume the crown O-rings are shot too. Before she wears it, I’d like to replace them all. Problem is, I’m not sure what size they are.

This was a working but very sloppy NH35 movement I decided to service. I actually thought things went well for the most part, but I'm getting odd readings. The picture with 0.8 BE was a bit before the second pic. When I first put the movement in the timegragher, it rear +175spd with a BE of 8.5.

I waited 24 hours and this is the closest I can get it. But the amplitude runs high at times, then back to normal, then as...
