Re: Having Trouble Resizing C60 Bracelet

I ended up buying this off amazon because it had good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A7G45I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 Just got it in the mail today, and tried to get one of the pins out and the pin-pusher snapped. They give you three replacement ones, but from the looks of it, you ne...

Having Trouble Resizing C60 Bracelet

I spent about the better half of an hour just now trying to resize my new C60 Trident with a paperclip, thumbtack, multitool, ect. Are there certain pins that don't actually dislodge. I've been triyng to remove the first link (in the set of 3) on the bottom of the dial, pushing from the side with th...

Re: Snapped the pin holding the strap in place

Thanks mate,
I found a store with decent reviews in my area and they managed to fix it in 10 minutes - free of charge! Spent another 20 minutes chatting up the owner, really nice fellow.

Crisis averted, my watch is back on my arm, and I feel a little less naked.

Snapped the pin holding the strap in place

In a tussle with one of my friends I managed to rip pin holding the strap in place on my Victorinox Mens Infantry watch. Can I take this to any Watch Repair Shop to do a 10-minute-fix or will it require a special order for a certain measurement? My apologies if this is on the wrong board. Cheers, Ni...

Re: Morally Wrong?

I think the 60 day return thing is a bit exaggerated. I'd feel comfortable after receiving it to have a few days to decide if it's a good fit or everything i'd be expecting. Max a week to declare that I want to return it, maybe a few days more to actually ship it. Anything else is robbery in my opin...

Sorry for the lousy picture quality, couldn't get any good lighting either.

Re: C8 Pilot Mk II - strap options for thin wrists

I keep hearing about these Hirsch straps a lot around here. Are they the de facto best quality for the money as far as reputation goes? Do they offer any deployment clasps specifically for their straps?

Re: Sale Section Visible for Newbs

I don't think it's a bad idea, necessarily. Just that it probably won't reduce any scamming or whatsoever, as someone who's committed will just post for a few days to get to 30.

Re: Julian Assange

I mean look at what the US did to Bradley Manning. He's been held for a little over 800 days now without being charged with anything. The US seems to have no problem with legality concerns over torture/incarceration.

Re: Speedbird 3

A lot of the criticism of homage watches seems irrational to me. Homage or not, either I love the styling or I don't. The fact that it's an interpretation of a previous styling doesn't bother me in the slightest.

That's really unique with the hour jumping design. Makes for a great novelty timepiece.

Re: F1 Williams GP Engineering

I'm so jealous after reading you're allowed to use their F1 simulators. I'm a huge fan, and Spa is absolutely my favorite track at the moment. Watch out for Kimi, I think he has what it takes to get 1st at Spa.

Re: Julian Assange

I was following on live stream all last night as the British government was threatening to raid the Ecuadorian embassy to arrest Julian Assange (in which case major repercussions would be had around the world). I'm really curious to see how this is going to turn out. It's obvious something fishy is ...

Re: Omega Seamaster White dial

You could get any college intern to make a better website design for $100 which would be pocket change to these guys. This looks like something I would've designed when I was 12 after reading a 2 hour tutorial on html.
