When I took my Elgin Solar (has Citizen echo-drive 2000 circa) in for repair and he replaced the capacitor for it had been drawered for at least a decade plus, due to my career not to get it scratched up in HVAC repair. I asked him which was better Sei…
Continue readingWhat Are You Timing With Your Chronographs?
Greetings,
For some time, I’ve been eyeing automatic chronographs from a few different mid-quality makers (Sinn, Longines, Omega, etc.) but always get sidelined by one simple question? What would I use the chronograph to time? That, in turn, leads m…

Anyone else? This is something I had to undergo some serious re-education to understand. Before I knew anything, when I thought of buying a nice dress watch to wear to a job, I would look only at the old steel ones because I thought silver=fancy. I am …

My son dropped my AP royal oak (Ref. 26315ST.OO.1256ST.02) and busted the bezel pretty bad.
Continue readingAnyone know if it can be replaced or fixed? If so, what price are we looking at.
EDIT: SO many great replies, thank you, guys. I will get a quote for replacing it and if it’s silly I’ll replace it at the service.
EDIT: The price to replace the bezel was around $700 USD if anyone else is curious. Not a big deal and I hope this helps anyone wondering.

Timex made in Great Britian, 1960’s-70’s I’d guess. The numbers at the bottom of the dial may give an answer to when it was made.
One of our visitors here posted it.
I very enthusiasticly commented that that it was very cool, didn’t know they were made in the UK.
He replied since i like it so much he could send it to me, which he did.
Thank You again for your kind gesture!
What are you folks wearing today??

Show Your Center Minute Hand Chronographs!
My preference for chronographs is evolving again. For years it was whatever caught my eye. Then it was IWC. Then Sinn. Now I’m looking for chronographs with the minute counter at the center of the dial. Nice segue for the Sinn collection as I kept two …

So got another anOrdain. I wasn’t completely sure about the Model 3 Method until I saw them in person last year. Both Aqua and Lichen are gorgeous and don’t really show how pretty they are without holding them and seeing the ridges and light reflections in person. If the Lichen was the only option, I would’ve jumped on it. It’s pretty enough to warrant the purchase. But with the Aqua an option as well, it’s hard to turn it down.

My two favorite things…show your watches and coffee
I just mentioned to Chris Stark on his post about a watch that Lillenthal came out with last year made of recycled coffee grounds. Big surprise that my brain decided it wanted coffee. Mmmmm coffee…. So pushy that brain. To keep us both happy I too…
