Yep, that's what his looked like. If my aunt finds it (she moved a year after he died), she'll send it to me. I'm not a fan of mesh. I just don't like it, plus it pulls my wrist hair. Sig P226 .40 S&W Sig SP2022 9mm RIA 1911 Gov't .45 ...and more | |||

A band like that, genuine TAG, runs about $335. Crazy. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

My new Black Monster. My first automatic watch. I love it. I got it in the mail today and called a local watch repair guy I found online to take some bracelet links out. A nice old fellow that operates out of his house. I was there 30 minutes at the most. He charged 12 bucks. I tried to add a pic from my desktop but was unsuccessful.This message has been edited.

Those Seiko bracelets with the pins and collars holding the links together are a pain. You need the little tool/vise thing, and even then it is kind of a pain. Bracelets with screws are much easier to deal with. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

When I worked at a Movado outlet store, my #1 job after sales was adjusting bracelets. Most of the watches we sold used either straight pins or "staples." I, too, prefer screws, but not many brands use them. | |||

Grand Seiko uses a screw on each side of the link. The screws are really tiny, but it is a good system. You generally have to remove both screws because the pins won't fall out and have to be pushed out. Since the screws don't "feel" any of the rotation (they are just plugs), they stay in without Loctite. Rolex threads each pin on one end, which is an even more elegant system. You need a little low strength Loctite, but each pin comes out by unscrewing only one pin/screw, and the whole pin is larger than the tiny end screws. Even my Omega, which is an expensive-ish watch, uses those damn collars. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Rolex watches are a "watchmaker's watch" -- they're a dream to work on. In addition to the screw pins for the bracelets, they use "Micro-Stella" screws for poising the balance wheel, and other elegant solutions. On some other watches, for example, you need to swap balance screws for others with lighter or heavier heads, or add/remove tiny little washers, or in the worst cases remove metal from the wheel by using a tiny drill bit. The Rolex way is much easier, and is super accurate...as long as you have the Rolex-patented Micro-Stella wrench, the Rolex-patented Micro-Stella screws, etc. (Don't get me started on Rolex's lock-out policies against independent watchmakers.) | |||

Nice watch, Dusty. I love GMT complications. Edit: I didn't realize the hands were so fat now. I would imagine that is to balance the bigger hour markers. Very bold looking.This message has been edited. Last edited by: jhe888, The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

So nice! My first "real watch" was an Explorer II polar I got when I scored my first network engineer gig in 97. Here it is a little more than a year ago following a well deserved 1st trip back to the RSC (after over 15 years) for a service and clean up. I since let it go to get a watch I "just HAD to have". A watch which incidentally, ... I've sold already. | |||

I just got this one. It might be more of a fashion piece to real watch people, but I absolutely love the design. I finally came to the realization that stainless watches irritate my skin and that's why I could never get comfortable wearing most of the watches I've tried in the past. This is a whole lot of titanium. | |||
