I’ve had this watch for a few years, always rinsed when in the ocean or pool, and turned bezel to make sure it’s clean. Do these just have a tight bezel… or is it the fact the serrations arent all around? Grip issue? I usually use my thumbnail to turn...

Apparently Seiko SKX bezel inserts will fit the ubiquitous Citizen Promaster eco-drive BN0150-28E with a spacer. This is due to the SKX inserts being thinner and they will sit down too low in the bezel. Someone on Etsy is 3D printing spacer just got th...

Wanted to try other type of NATO, Crown & Buckle calls it an HD NATO. Usually kind of an earth tone strap guy. Wife said it was “loud” 🫠… I know… “wear what you like…” But is it too loud? I thought it was a nice color for the summer. Y’all’s though...

Noticed the 3 o’clock crown on my Citizen diver was unscrewed a little bit this evening! It was screwed down secure last time I checked (and I try to check periodically). I’m only concerned because right before I noticed, I was helping with bath time 😳...

Looking for the factory OD (olive drab) green strap that came one the Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive BN0157-11X. I figure surely someone has replaced that factory strap and it’s in someone’s parts bin. This is the 20mm stiffer rubber dive strap. Would off...

For any of our older members here that remember, what did it look like? Perhaps like modern lume paint right after the UV light or sunlight? Just a very strong glow all the time, until the tritium finally died? Genuinely curious. Reckon nobody was doin...

Anyone have a strap they love… but can’t get the right fit? Adjustment holes are a tad far apart… so it too tight or too loose. No goodilocks zone… Anyone ever put a small patch of moleskin on the caseback? Would act as nonskid and tighten the fit just...

By this I mean budget/workhorse movements non regulated from the factory. Like Miyota 8203/8204s or Seiko NH35s or Seiko factory watch equivalents. I’ve got a Citizen diver with the 8204 and it keeps +5-7spd and certainly no more than +10spd. This is w...

I try to like Perlon straps… well I only have one. But it seems to get narrow and stretch with use. More specifically it ends up with gaps between the lugs exposing the spring bars. Is this just a thing with Perlon straps? Or maybe cheaper ones? Do som...

Gasp… it happened. Was putting on my new Citizen NY0120 and it slid off the strap… fell a bit lower than waist high onto the tile kitchen floor! Two little dings on the case… just enough to remind me to be more careful! Didn’t stop running, still keepi...
