@Kip Thanks for the acknowledgement despite me being about 7+ years tardy to the party!

Anyone recall which movement is in this watch?

Literal translations can be amusingly misleading. In fact Ramon Cuervo was the founder of a jewellers in 1862 in Havana. In 1882 he established a new company “Cuervo y Sobrinos” (with his… err…. nephews), selling jewellery and watches to high-end clientele. They started collaborating with Swiss wat...

Is this an April Fools joke?

The one thing I don’t like about Seiko in general is that they cling to Hardlex (mineral) crystal even in price ranges where competitors almost exclusively use sapphire (Presage Hardlex box-domed crystals, I’m looking at you!). One thing I hate is a scratched crystal; drives me mad ... I completely...

I've been a Seiko fan since around 2005 to 2006 when I bought my orange monster. Since then I have acquired a black monster, an orange sawtooth, and a blue sawtooth. To me, the monsters represent unparalleled value in a dive watch. Standard setting lume, a quality bracelet with diver's extension, cr...

And I do take them in the water, pool and ocean, even though I don't dive. But, I sure have a hard time cou...

Haven't really paid much attention to CW watches for awhile. I recently received an email promoting the C65 Super Compressor. I thought it was quite handsome and that the super compressor technology was interesting. But, if the super compressor technology is relevant due to its technical merit, as o...

Thanks guys. Going out for a birthday lunch and then off for a club fitting. Planning on a new set of clubs as my birthday present. Going all out as my clubs are well worn. Replacing everything but my really good friend...my very trustworthy putter. Is that a euphemism? Glad to hear at your age you...

Happy belated birthday Kip!

+1 on these (type of) tools (block, push pin, and hammer)! I have several tools like the other type referenced in this thread but I will never use them (again). All they do is guarantee me a divot near the hole where I missed. I don't know how you're possibly supposed to align them on the hole accur...

Nice pieces of history there, CW-wise and otherwise.

Congratulations Kip and Chris!

Good to hear from you Joe. Just beware... we have rules now about speedposting. :lol: Yes, I saw all that. Just because I am not posting doesn't mean I am not lurking and reading. I'll try to slow it down on the posts though to be a good net citizen. Oops, crap, this makes my third post this weeken...
