Off to see Father Christmas this morning. I may be more excited than the kids

Maybe the versions with strap are fitted on the higher holes and bracelet on the lower? The holes in my GS lugs sit low down meaning that anything other than a strap with thick, padded ends looks naff (to me anyway). A second set of holes higher up like on your Vic would allow a wider variety of (sl...

Possibly a red/maroon dial watch like those orients https://www.creationwatches.com/products/orient-automatic-288/orient-mako-iii-ra-aa0003r19b-automatic-200m-mens-watch-14872.html Or Mido Multifort/Tissot Chronometer with the Silicon mainspring stuff Or the Bulova Calibrator that keeps appearing o...

I like you have yet more home improvements planned over the course of the next 12 months so will have fairly limited funds. But I'm comfortably on the way to trimming myself down to 4 watches now which has been a seemingly impossible target for quite some time. I have 3 definite keepers, so the res...

Yes it is rubber lined but doesn’t feel all that rubbery. Might give it a shower to see how it copes The product description was a water resistant rubber lining. Should be fine i reckon I hope you mean just the strap. Surely you can't be thinking of taking your dive watch in the shower. That would ...

I like it! Would be nice if they also offered a non-date model.

I have a plain mk3 and the small seconds certainly adds some bonus visual interest to the large'ish dial.

Personally if you own a watch and want it modified then you should be able to do what you want with it, but if you modify and then sell as a 'Rolex' incl the name and logo on the dial you are asking for trouble. Maybe, but if you bought a Ferrari, sprayed it pink and fitted diamond-encrusted wheels...

Question on the watchgeko strap for those that have them please... I would quite like to try one on my little LLD but it has awkward lug width of 19mm. Do you reckon a 20mm strap would squidge in enough to fit and not look dodgy? thanks I don't see why not. I occasionally wear 20mm seatbelt NATOs o...

Looks great on that strap.

Of all the fantastic watches on this forum, this one never fails to raise a smile. So much character!

Selling this was not my finest hour



Got a real hankering for a grey dial watch with a splash of colour and would love to have this back on my wrist.

BUT... I am sure that balancing out the dial with Either the Logo in a noticeable properly contrasting finish Or re-positioning the Name back to where nearly every other watch in history has it (must be a reason there folks...!!) would further enhance sales. Why wouldn't a business do that, unless ...

I've tried this before, but the crown was waaay too small to fit a crystal to.

On a serious note, it may be possible with an aftermarket crystal, but you'd invalidate the CW warranty.

Not sure whether this represents a good deal or not, but I remember this watch being mentioned fairly recently on here.
