Re: The Lume Shot of the Day

White ceramic dialled Planet Ocean with orange ceramic bezel. Interestingly the green lume on both the minute hand and bezel pip is virtually indistinguishable from the blue on the rest of the watch, but in real life it’s very obviously green. Clearly camera sensors aren’t quite up there with human ...

Anybody do any mods with their CWs?

This is my C600/C60 Elite/Trident. C600 movement, dial and tritium hands in a C60 Vintage case. The stainless case is a nice contrast to the black PVD Tri-tech Elite case. I prefer it to any of the yellow dialled C60 variants that were ever made, due to the visibility of the black hands and markers....

Re: “The Twelve” is live

I very much like the two titanium models - the fumé dials appeal a lot, the purple in particular, but I already own a purple fumé dialled DiRenzo Mondial, also Swiss made, but in steel (and possibly the inspiration for the purple Ti). It cost me substantially less than the titanium Twelves (under ha...

Re: Caseback of the day

Just your usual handwound Panerai movement through a display back….. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230420/84cc1c982703962425165e8972bc3c87.jpg But with some (not very) sleight of hand, the automatic micro-rotor is visible. One of the things I like about this watch, along with the looks, the mod...

Re: Non CW of the Day

My wife has been interstate for a while and I have been very responsibly promoting my antisocial state by playing Satisfactory in much of my copious spare time. For those unfamiliar with it, it’s an open-world factory building game for PC that is both addictive and to those with a logical or analyti...

Back with the Omegas on the wrist again as I missed this one out… My other Legends edition Speedy. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230328/5de6c5a3993ab544f920062ec718888b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230328/b8f58181bf036688cfa703b9b9e7e281.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230328/3...

Re: Oris x Kermit

I rather like it (the colour) and I could live with Kermit if he made an appearance only once a month.

Re: Non CW of the Day

1971-ish Tissot Navigator, kissing cousin to a couple of Omega models (that I own) as well as using the Tissot branded Omega 860; one register shy of the moonwatch movement. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230327/c415685fb07d3bfa4114798b804b0a5b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230327/b9fe2...

The sandwich dial and domed crystal really make this watch. Lovely!
