Re: Case back secured with screws but hex/allen or Torx?
No time to go deep into the rabbit hole with you right now so this’ll be a quick answer! But those look like Torx plus not just torx screw heads on the C63 (hard to be sure from that photo). Used more commonly now because they’re harder to cam-out and less chance of screw breakage. It also forces th...

Re: New Arrival - Orange Dive Watch
I love an orange dive watch done right @gaf1958 !
I agree with @strapline; the Omega bracelet looks much better on it. Probably due to the slightly more interesting link shape but also that taper. Nice choice!

Re: Bracelet for C60 Trident Pro Mk1 (or Mk2)
Honestly, the original Kingfisher bracelet is the hardest bracelet to install/remove that I’ve experienced (even a quartz from the 80s I have is easier; though tolerances on that were probably also worse which helped). The other older bracelet in that pic above isn’t so bad but isn’t a ‘quick swap i...

Re: Bracelet for C60 Trident Pro Mk1 (or Mk2)
Nice! I also picked one up for my C6s on the basis that the original ones were compatible so this should work plus the quick release was a winner for me. Now the original one is not the best fit for the Kingfisher case either but this one is marginally worse. I actually have it packed up to return t...

Re: Caseback of the day
Been doing some bracelet experimentation. There’s a difference that surprised me between these three. Will post about it soon!

Re: WristTrack - Stif's mobile watchbox app project - Now live on iOS and Android!
Congrats on the mention! I hope you don’t mind but, even though I’m not a heavy user myself (just bad at tracking stuff), I told the watch enthusiast group at work about your app about a month ago (someone was talking about a gap in the market and I said… nope!) so you may have seen an uptick of USA...

Re: seconde/seconde Snake watch?
Now, if it was inspired by Asteroids, with the second hand replaced by the little space fighter at the center of the screen in the game, constantly rotating on the dial to destroy asteroids and alien saucers, I might be onboard…but probably not. https://nubeowatches.com/collections/atari-limited-ed...

Re: The Bumble is Back, Baby!
You know, every time I see this I want one. I then worry about the thickness in spite of people saying I shouldn’t… Maybe it’s time I should just get one.
Lovely watch! I’ll bet you’re happy to have it back!

Re: Bracelet for C60 Trident Pro Mk1 (or Mk2)
Thanks for this - I'm tempted to get one but just want to check as I know others have probably tried this... And I think I know the answer (no)... Given the Mk1 Trident bracelet fits a C6 Kingfisher, is this likely to? (I am tempted to buy one to try but if someone already knows... that saves hassle!)

Re: Schofield Obscura
Once again real life out and about photos show the watch at its finest. Congratulations Guy! What a watch, and I can see why it’s become a well worn example from your collection!

Re: TWELVE X Special Edition (Steel)
I can’t talk to your specific watch, Tony, but when my FLE C63 came to me with almost identical issues (no serial number, winding was awful) they turned around the repair really quickly. I appreciate it’s a different movement but I think they give new watches a bit of priority? As a consequence thou...

Re: UPDATE: 1st class rail versus standard
Part 1 will be Southampton to London then part 2, London to Edinburg. This bit is easy. Southampton Central to London Waterloo is a direct train with South Western Railway taking an hour and 20. Depending when you travel in the day, you should have lots of options; they go every half an hour. (I've...

Re: UPDATE: 1st class rail versus standard
You've had some great advice here already so I'm not going to add too much more. I will say the Southampton -> Birmingham -> Edinburgh train (in my case I did this journey from Reading -> York) can be quite busy. The advantage is there's only a single change though, so it's easy . Going into London ...

Re: I was expecting a repaired watch but then this arrived!
Yep, I also considered cancelling mine a few times too, particularly after all the issues I had with my FLE. In fact so much so that that I’d forgotten to mention it at home (I don’t buy many watches and this arrived a bit out of the blue). My partner sent me a message asking if I was expecting a CW...
