Do you have a watch that you both love and hate?

Hi all,

Hope you’re all doing well!

As some of you may have seen from my recent posts, I’ve been trying to down-size my collection recently with overall decent results. In the last 12 months I’ve managed to sell my:

GS SBGW231
Tudor BB58 Blue
Omega Speedy Reduced ’05
Seiko SPB509

Those were fantastic watches, but once I decided to sell them, I did so without too much heartache. I’ve been eyeing off a few more watches in my collection recently, in an effort to…

Women’s Cartier Tank pricing

Hi all,

I just randomly stumbled upon a women's Cartier Tank, in Quartz and was pretty taken aback by their pricing. They go for around $4000-6000 AUD pre-owned on Chrono24.

It seems like a basic, steel watch with what I can only assume to be a …

Anyone ever think about selling all your watches except for 1-3 of your favourite ones?

Good day everyone!

I've got a fantastic little collection at the moment and a few watches that I'm in the process of selling. The collection consists of 7 watches, that may go down to 6 soon.

6-7 is great, because that is what my watch box …

Has anyone seen the current Seiko share price?

Hi all,

Just wrote to Seiko Japan about trying to fit the new HBF001 clasp on my previous gen SLA079, since I refuse to accept the answer from Seiko Australia (which was basically no*).

Was browsing the website after the submission and saw some menti…

Disappointed with the new Sinn on-the-fly micro-adjustable clasp

Hi all,

I just received my new Sinn on-the-fly micro-adjustable clasp in the mail yesterday and had a chance to play around with it today. I paid $560 AUD for it (without shipping) which is a hefty price tag. Actually more expensive than the Omega Spe…

Quality over quantity (1 photo per watch per user) photo thread

Hi all,

There are so many great threads with tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of photos on WUS. That's both great and not so great.

It's great because of the sheer number photos, but it's not great because lots of users including my…

36 mm Seamaster questions

Hi all,

Hoping to hear back from 36 mm Omega Seamaster (preferably Quartz) owners about your experiences with your watches, specifically:

Servicing – is there much to service? Do they need anything besides gaskets and battery change done? Does it use a standard battery, so it can can be purchased aftermarket, or does it have to go back to Omega?
Is anyone rocking one of these on a 7 to 7.5 inch / 18 to 19 cm wrist? I’ve been toying with the idea of one, but am assuming it would…

Has anyone ever suddenly got bored with a previous grail watch?

Hi all,

TL;DR: As per the title – has this happened to anyone?

I’ve owned my BB58 Blue for a few years now and have taken it to lots of adventures. It used to be my grail watch for many years before I got it. It’s extremely comfortable, keeps great time, has a fantastic bracelet and fantastic double locked clasp. It fits me perfectly and besides the lack of on-the-fly micro-adjust on the bracelet and slight bezel alignment issue, I can’t fault it in any way. It’s got beautiful…
