  1. I'd check it before buying, it's not as much as if your wrist can wear it, but if its own size won't look as a clown watch. IMO watches over 42mm tend to look pretty excessive, even ridiculous.
  2. I think it's a pretty safe bet, it's one of the midrange brands part of the Swatch Group, so they're using ETA or other well known and durable movements, with a decent finishing quality. It all comes to what's more of your liking. I for one would go for a Seiko, the Prospex Scuba SBDC001 and SBDC007 are two of my favourite "affordable" mechanical dive watches, and if that is too much the SKX007 is a classic.
  3. The emoticons are accesible but the first time you try to use them after a sign in or after some time without accessing the site, you need to click on the emoticons button then the "categories" menu, otherwise the old ones won't show to be used. The default is the "overview" set. I've figured out how to have the "new content" tool to display just the unread messages, not all the ones that had some activity (or whatever this decided they had) and the ones I already read in the current session. It wasn't that difficult Still missing a lot knowing who liked posts, that was a nice feature that at first didn't seem such a great deal on the previous version.
  4. So I'm a lower user class not fitting other groups who can see who liked other's posts BTW this silly thing won't keep as default the older custom set of emoticons. Overall I liked the older version better; when using the "New content" it keeps displaying all the already read threads on screen which isn't really helpful, being the only difference the big coloured spot/star before them. It's slower and kind of sluggish. Also Autopage won't work adequately.
  5. On OSX using Chrome I cannot see who liked a post, since the upgrade it never displayed, but on Tapatalk it worked yesterday and now it's not working. Something wrong on my side?
  6. It's great having this happy chick back
  7. can the old custom emoticons be recovered?
  8. Sorry to read that. I wish it's for the better.
  9. That's a Dr Wood Xylography.
  10. Happy Birthday!!!!
  11. Sounds good. Good luck!
  12. Oh, the horror!!! what will we do all that time? Thanks for your efforts, Todd
  13. I'm sorry, Jacob. They could have said beforehand
  14. Nice! El Primero Flyback "original". A present from my best half when I hit 40.
  15. #2 and #5 in that order
  16. This. I really doubt anyone is going to try.
  17. That's the place of the wise men, Brent
  18. According to ML the strap is "veritable lizard". Their weakest part is around the buckle where they end up breaking. This is dry weather so the skin is shrinking, you can see that at the lugs end where the pin can be seen and there's some looseness. But this about 15 or 16 years after I swapped the strap the last time. Before that, when I used that watch on a daily basis, the strap didn't last more than a couple of years. They're very expensive, or that's what I remember, by those days I was a very poor resident. I don't own a single mechanical watch that stays in the +2/-2 seconds month. I'd say that not a single one stays within that range a day. Some, like one of the Zeniths, are very sensitive to the position I leave them on the table at night. If put flat on its back it stays in the -3/+1 range, but if left resting on the side, it can get as slow as -10 seconds/day. In the winder it remains in between those values. I'd love checking a Spring Drive Grand Seiko.
  19. This, I liked 3rd for the background pattern more than the color in the car.
  20. Thanks . I like the dial and the lugs, they're very nice with that double curve. The watch is nice, pretty dressy and doesn't really look ridiculously small in my thin wrist, but I'd really love it if instead of 32mm it were 36mm in diameter.
  21. I think I can fix that, Jacob, however my only working camera is iPhone's so don't expect much.
  22. That's great, Jacob. I've got my ML back from service a couple of days ago, it's going pretty accurate too
