Re: Liquid filled watch case: How I modified my Kingfisher C
I thought I'd add an update -- this original C6 mod is still running strong, it's had one battery change since 2010. The U.S. patent issued in 2012. I don't offer any filling services, instead I've been focusing on manufacture of a watch with this feature. It has a few other unique attributes -- it'...

Re: Tudor BBB Strap - Sticker Shock
The AD quoted me $3300 to get the X71 steel bracelet for my Blancpain. So instead I got a replacement-in-kind leather strap for $350. Luckily BP re-used the deployant from my worn strap. It's all relative, so I felt like I was getting a bargain. I must remind myself to think of the animal who gave h...

Re: Big reveal
Here are my reasons for being excited about this SH21 launch: I only wear nice watches during the work week.
