I just noticed in this setup photo that you have a springbar tool like one of mine. Are you a watchmaker?

No...I wish I had those skills. I can change a battery, strap and have been known to remove a movement to get to the inside of a crystal.

Love that Sinn!

New Suunto Core All-Black. The stock strap was more comfortable than I thought it would be, but I couldn't get over the looks. So I replaced the strap with a Hirsch Extreme.

My seamaster.


Water got into the case, so I sent it off to be serviced. While it was there, I had the seconds hand and bezel swapped out. I like it even more.

How on earth did water get in the case of a Seamaster? (I'm guessing deterioration of the o-ring in the stem and lack of grease?)

I noticed the helium valve was open one day. I tightened it down and didn't give it another thought . . . until I noticed condensation under the crystal while I was playing with the kids in a pool.
I checked the HEV and found that it was "stuck" - couldn't open or close it.
I sent it away for service and the watchmaker found a bunch of hair wrapped around the base of the HEV. Long, blonde hairs. I think from sleeping with my watch on, left arm under my wife's head. They must have wrapped on, then prevented proper re-sealing of the HEV. He said he had never seen it before.
I told my wife I wasn't sleeping with her anymore. She did not think that was funny.

I got one of those last year, it's freaking huge but surprisingly comfortable to wear.

After 10 years of wearing the same dress watch I decided to make a change to this:

I'll own a planet ocean someday. I was in the watch game a while back and had too many so I sold most off and bought a Seamaster professional. Couldn't be happier with it really, wear it 24/7. But the PO just has something about it that speaks to me.

I've had this watch since the late 90's.

'90s.

I had a watch thread here a while back. Been away a while.

Sold off the Zilla so I'm going to see what triggers my "wants" next.

As someone who bought a Hamilton, didn't wear it much, and then (at the prompting of Matthew03) started loving it again, let me say, "That Hamilton is gorgeous!"

WOW! That silver on silver is eye popping sharp.
