Watches - another OCD problem
-
I've been messing about on the watch decision front for months now, I originally wanted a Mako, then a Monster, then a Seiko SK007, then a 7002 and have finally purchased….....a Mako XL. Spent a fair portion of the morning trawling through watch forums for opinions, reviews etc.... and went with the Mako XL with a black face and bezel and a shark mesh bracelet.
I know for most of you guys that getting a cheap diving watch probably isn't a big decision, but I know absolutely sod all about watches. For the last 18 months I've been wearing an old Rado Voyager that I got free with a pair of glasses (strange I know), but that is in dire need of a service and minor repair so I finally took the plunge on a diving watch.

I quite like that tbh, but as you pointed out there is a hefty premium on it for the custom parts.

It is a hefty premium and you always have to wonder who the cobbler was and if they knew what they were doing.

Very true, a pretty picture hides a multitude of sins.

Decided to go for a change of pace

Nice watch. I like the mesh bracelet, too.

Hey Chris does that have the 3133 movement?
-
Yeah, I guess it's sort of a Russian Speedmaster; it's a commemorative for the 40th anniversary for Yuri Gagarin's space flight. I've had it for several years and it was dead stock when I bought it.
And you're right, Ane- 3133 movement. Well, technically, it's the 31681, but that's just the 3133 with a subdial for 24 hour indication, which I'm sure you knew…

Nice Mega, is the lume nice and bright?
Not massively, apparently that is a flaw with the Mako XL's (read this after purchasing).
