Re: Non CW of the Day

Probably my best value for money watch - Vostok Scubadude on an AliExpress bracelet.

Great watch! It's not a brand I'm familiar with - I'll have to investigate. The date window reminds me of the Helm Komodo.

Re: CW January ‘21 Sale

I didn't spot the off centre text on the c65. I think that would annoy me too much. Gorgeous watch otherwise, though.

Re: Adjusting a screw in bracelet

I'm not sure why screws are regarded as preferable to friction pins. I've had screws loosen and fall out of 3 separate bracelets, fortunately with no consequences, but have never had an issue with a friction pin.

Re: Titanium bracelets

A couple of other firms who do good aftermarket bracelets, although I've not checked for titanium;- https://strapsco.com/ https://www.strapcode.com/ Both in USA so 20% VAT and Admin fee will need to be paid to bring to UK (I assume that's where you are).

Re: Titanium bracelets

Never seen a Titanium shark mesh bracelet before.

Re: Titanium bracelets

Hmmm, as I suspected. Any suggestions for nice titanium bracelets that would compliment the C11 Titanium extreme?

Titanium bracelets

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells titanium shark mesh bracelets? My C11 Titanium extreme is currently on a steel super-engineer, which is actually pretty close in colour, but not perfect. After seeing the new Omega Bond, I really like the look of its bracelet. I have a feeling they must be rea...

Re: Aquis 39.5 too small? 43.5 too big? read on ...

Totally agree re the bezel width on dress or field watches. Bizarrely, I think you can get away with a smaller diver than a dress or field, as an eye-catching bezel forms part of the whole focus of the design. I had a Mk2 C60 38mm that looked fine on my 7.5 inch wrist, but I sometimes feel my Hamilt...

Re: Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Watch In Green..

That's really nice. Like a nice green or olive watch. Can't get much better value than a Hamilton for Swiss stuff.
