Re: Smiths Vanguard anyone?

Styling is definitely very Newman Daytona-esque. Case is pretty hefty at 16mm thick, most 7750 watches seem to be 14-15 so that’s even taller. How much were these out of interest as there is no price showing, presumably as they are currently not for sale. I’ve read before about Eddie’s customer ser...

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread

In my head these 3 would end me collecting added to three I'm keeping Pictures borrowed https://www.newmarkwatchcompany.com/images/nmtf1.jpg Two of those are top of my list, a mixture of bad timing and buyer hesitation (on my part) meant I have missed three opportunities to pick up the Newmark!

Re: Hardlex Crystal

mmm reading that link looks like toothpaste is not the answer, not sure I'm brave enough to attempt anything with the dremel! I think I need to get googling, thanks for the link.

Hardlex Crystal

I have a few marks on the hardlex crystal on my seiko snzh 53, i have a buyer ready to go but he has asked if i can sort the light scratches out first. People often say this can be done with toothpaste, so is it as simple as rubbing it on and working it in, and does it need to be a 'gritty' whitenin...

Re: Non CW of the Day

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40844395603_77b3602da2_c.jpg Kicking myself for stalling (and missing)on an opurtunity to pick one of these up recently. This watch has awoken an interest in military chrono graphs I never knew I had. I've been tempted by the MWC version but think I will hold out...

Re: This or that

The alpinist does look good on the strap code bracelet, don't think I've seen it like that before. That makes it all the harder do decide, but I've voted to keep the Everest purely to even up the tally mind .

Re: This or that

Am I right in thinking prices for the alpinist are rising as they are discontinued? You may regret selling if so. I love the look of the Everest and would like to add one myself at some point, the issues with the clasp on the 36mm however put me off slightly. Perhaps waiting for the 36mm with smalle...

Re: Monta Oceanking arrived today

i like the look of the monta range in general but the ocean King would be my choice as well. Sensible size too, sadly out of my budget currently. Enjoy

Re: Mariner Watches.

I spend considerable time trying to educate my son to respect women and see them as equals. An ad like this, that objectifies women by presenting them as nothing more than on object to be lusted after and taken, like one would a glass of whiskey, makes it incredibly hard for me raise my son they wa...

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread

I have thought about getting the white to add some variety to the collection but the black would get more wear I've been tempted by a couple for sale over at tzuk, I'm edging closer to the 36mm although that's smaller than anything I currently have and I'm still not sure about that clasp but it is ...
