A happy Sunday to all contributors:

I hope everyone has a great Sunday. In the US it’s a holiday weekend. We remember those who died in battle. I’m wearing bronze which is starting to patina.

Alignment ‘issues’. How much is ‘too much’? Two bad experiences with Seestern (out of two)
I received a Seestern 600t yesterday and noticed a slight misalignment of the bezel and the hands.
I then sat and went through all my watches and although this is perhaps the most noticable, I do have a few that have minor misalignments of the hands.
Even in more mainstream brands.
What are your experiences and thoughts? While obviously annoying, would this be a deal breaker for you?

Just some background, this is the second of these I’ve…

Murph Strap Options
Yep – A other vintage restoration😂
I’m really enjoying doing these resto’s on vintage G’s at the moment, and I grabbed this from eBay UK the other day for just £17, making it ideal for being able to spend out on the bits I need.
Continue readingSo this one is a DW-002, in a poor state, but that’s only looking cosmetic rather than damage.
I’ve already thrown the original velcro/fabric strap. Apart from the fact it just would never have cleaned up properly, I’ve never liked them because they make the watch stand up way too tall on the…

CNN Video: How Much To Spend on a Watch
Posting a video that I saw on CNN today about watches. Hope this hasn’t been posted elsewhere. If so, apologies.
Continue readingJust two watch/fashion people (I guess) talking very broadly about buying watches.
Seems pretty general and not too specific, but I’m slightly curious if they’re WUS members since they repeat a couple things that are like Old Testament scripture here (watches aren’t…
Has Invicta has been “out-uglied” by G-Shock?!
From Jody’s channel. You do not even have to watch the video to see the watch.
Continue readingG-Shock GWM5610 radio reception woes / remorse
I really like the watch on principle – solar, atomic, auto-backlight, $100 or so – but the watch simply wouldn’t sync for me (US northeast, coastal city) even when left in a second floor window overnight with a full battery meter. Is this normal? I’m probably just returning it to get a completely dumb basic Bluetooth model like the GW-B5600 instead — I don’t particularly want bluetooth features in general, but I did want to reliably not have to mess with the time.

What do you think of Sea-Gull as part of a modest 12 watch collection
featuring as low a value watch as an 89 dollar late Pope Francis Swatch (having changed from the original Casio), to as nice as a few 1960’s Rolex’s and one 1960’s Patek.
Continue reading6 vintage, 6 contemporary. One modern watch slot left. If I had the means, it would be the Moser Pioneer 40mm in Arctic Blue. But the vintage watch train ran the operation into the ground and I must wait until next year to move forward. However I’d like to fill the final spot in the box for the meantime.
I value the…
