The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

Chris - what mods did you have made?
This was before the Vortex Tactical existed, so I had Jay take the face and hands from the Pro and put it in the regular model and vice versa. Then he added a date window to both of them.

Dive watches are big but sometimes they wear more comfortably than the numbers would suggest.
What's the consensus on Stowa?
(I'm on a German dive watches bender. It's funny how there's a certain design style, I'll call it neo-Bauhaus for lack of a better term, that's over represented in German makers. Dievas, Damasko, etc, all do that.

DAMMIT

You're no giant but you're not a tiny guy, and that bottom watch looks MASSIVE
Yeah, it does look enormous, doesn't it? It's not a small watch- 44mm, I think- but that's a weird angle or something. It doesn't look anywhere close to that huge in reality.
I'd take another picture, but it's in storage…

Anyone have recommendations for a good aftermarket metal bracelet?
Based on EVERY review I read/watch, the bracelets on all of the entry-level Seikos are notoriously shitty.
I got a really great one from yobokies (Seikoboy backwards) and I've never looked back. I can't remember, but he might be on ebay.

i'm really falling more in love with this pinion the more i see it. should i make this my goal for this year instead?! it reminds me so much of my Pam, especially the 3,6,9 font..

We had one idiot years ago that kept saying that IH will stop a bullet.
It will not.
In fact, the FBI tests for ammunition is to measure how far a bullet will travel AFTER it goes through four layers of denim.
Be interesting (in an anal type of way) to see the spreadsheets for that, for the different weights of denim up to 32oz
Might also boost sales for XHS too
err now back to watches..

They’re testing the bullet, not the denim. It’s a standardized weight of denim
