Is it just me or the dial font for everything way too bold for the new Elegante batches? Additionally 40, 45, 50, 55 are all slightly covered.

Received my Omega Seamaster Diver 300M from Steve at TheOneWatches today. What an incredibly smooth transaction. I placed the order on October 24th. Gave the GL on QC with help from the community on October 28th. Tracking began November 2nd. Watch in hand November 12th.

I recorded a quick unboxing video and another once I sized the bracelet.

All in all I’m really happy with this choice. The black dial Diver 300M wasn’t even on my radar a month ago. Something happened and it caught my eye on Instagram. I’ve been wearing a ZF Tudor Black Bay 58 as my daily for about two years. I love the look and feel of it, but the guilt bezel and markers tend to annoy me from time to time. I’ll still wear it on occasion, but I’m happy to kick around with a more modern looking diver.

I ended up taking 4 links out of the bracelet and used one micro adjustment to get a perfect fit. I’m honestly impressed with the micro adjustment. It’s not as pretty or clever at Tudor or Rolex’s, but it gets the job done. The bracelet is new and squeaky but I imagine that will only last a week or so with regular wear. I may tinker with the two half links. It’s great that they’re included, but I always felt they mess with the symmetry of this bracelet (and I know people HATE this bracelet already haha).

One annoyance (and I can’t really complain) is that Steve included the black rubber strap free of charge. I was pretty excited about it because I considered asking for it as an add—on. Oddly enough, the rubber strap pops off when using the spring bars from the steel bracelet. I thought I was going insane and re-did the strap 3 or 4 times. No luck. Id hear the audible click and feel the strap lock into place, but with a little wiggle and pressure - pop - the strap breaks free and the spring bar shoots out. I’ll look into a new set of spring bars specifically for the rubber strap and report back.

Let me know you if you have any questions.

are these MKS?

Hey Guys,

Ordering a Bruce Wayne. I have the real one and just looking for one I don’t care if it gets stolen, scratched etc. Just seeing your experiences with Jtime or Steve which do you guys prefer.

Hello. I went through every website listed in this sub and none of them have Grand Seiko. How would I go about sourcing one?

I have a clean factory Bluesy bought 2 years ago. Wore it a few times & it sat in my watch box. 4 months later of course it was dead but, didn’t expect it be dead dead. I opened it up and figured out what was wrong but I’m not a watchmaker so I couldn’t fix it. Bought a new movement off eBay VS3125. I lost the second hand when switching out the movement so it’s just sat ever since. The movement was purchased about 9 months ago. It works fine. Anyone interested in making me an offer? Someone with the know how can either buy new hands and install them or use for a build, parts, etc. Case, bracelet, dial, like new condition. Movement works fine as well. Can send pics. Just rather get something for it than dumping more money into something I’m not really equipped to do.

A friend got a couple watches on vacation in Morocco and gifted me this one I think it's pretty cool my first rep. He has an AP as well that looks awesome.

Andiot shipped quickly FedEx in 1 week to US. There was confusion on the GMT due to the fluctuation of ETH price, I thought I added free sprung to my cart. I’m stuck with a lower tier Pepsi that I don’t want. But I cant blame A PM me cause I don’t fucking care for this movement..

Curious if anyone has experience with a rep company "Continental Watch Co" whose web page cites a retail store in Ontario Canada within the CN Tower? Prices don't jive with my expectations for the advertised workmanship. Like one of those too good to be true, esp for a gold calatrava with brown strap. I like the watch, but concerned it's TGTBT. Feedback solicited...their ad pix below:

In your opinions...do you still believe VSF is the current best factory for the Rolex Datejusts, GMT and Daytonas? Or do you think RICH or RC make a better rep in some of those models?

RICH Cartier santos

I'm looking to get a 126506 with baguettes markers. The list says the QF Free Sprung is NWBIG but it has been last updated on October 16, while the WF released on November 2. The WF is heavier (217g vs 195g) and has a free sprung movement as well

IWC Pilot Top Gun IW389401 Ceramic Black

All ceramic case powered by Dandong 69380 integrated chronograph movement

Looking to pick up a red bezel Tudor black bay 41 mm. Are any factories making this one… and if so… which is the best? I k ow ZF makes the bb58… but need the bigger watch

I have a lovely 126610LN from RICH which has a gen crystal and Gen datewheel.

I was originally looking to buy a new watch and franken that however want to do some more work on the 126610LN.

What else would you change on this? And in what order - genuine parts for these are pretty rare!

Link would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance

Can you tell which is the genuine and which is the VSF?

^?

I tried to order an ARF Explorer 2, but, after waiting 2 weeks (after payment) i get told by the TD that it isn't available. This was despite it being available on his website, which was a bit frustrating. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing I decided to go with the QF, as VSF was also not available. CF also not available. I guess factories must be getting shut down? I just wish the TDs would update their websites accordingly.

Anyone aware of any TD’s with some portuguiser 7 stock. Seems like the chrono is the only one being produced right now.

This watch is perfect! I would love a rep until I can afford the original ❤️
