EdipisReks1 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) I'm not entirely sure what to think about this development. I did complain that the 1675 wouldn't unlock my computers for me, so I guess I can't complain too much!

HiWire Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 It's the first time I've watched one of her videos. Normally I ignore product tie-ins, but this one is kind of nice. Online price seems to be around $600, but I'm not sure if these have been officially released yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I leave Tuesday morning to go see my partner. A 7.5 hour car trip. I always give the "good watches" to my mother, to keep, if I'm going to be gone for a while, but it caught me that my travel roll was sort of interesting, in a buckle/clasp branding perspective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've heard of a Zenith El Primero: I'm surprised: it was one of the very first automatic chronographs (I think Seiko beat them by a little bit), and was the movement that Rolex used for many years between the Valjoux 72 and their own in-house automatic chrono, for the Daytona.

HemiSam Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 that was a good video. I like that young lady. Pleasant to watch and I learn something new every video. HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I am impressed by how well-researched the videos are and how she's able to keep the presentation fun for more casual fans. Definitely one of my favorite channels in the last while... my last purchase was a Swatch, so I'm not even close to being in the main demographic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I think the new blue alligator looks nice with the Buzz Rickson's. And apparently it's 12 hours off, since the watch thinks it's the future. Edited November 17, 2020 by EdipisReks1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Oh no, who will see my watches during a pandemic? https://www.ablogtowatch.com/how-2020-changed-the-way-we-wear-watches/ Maybe on "The 'Gram"? https://www.ablogtowatch.com/what-we-can-learn-from-watch-enthusiast-humor-on-instagram/ Edited December 8, 2020 by Grahame 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I see my watches. Mostly Apple watches, but watches nonetheless. I don't have watches to show off, I have watches because I like watches. Also I need to tell the time. Also, ABtW can fuck off.

EdipisReks1 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I'm giving in here in 2021. I'm gonna do a Jack Forster dual-wrist. Today is two square watches. Every day will be at least one square watch. It's both strange and liberating. Edited January 12, 2021 by EdipisReks1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Wearing a watch, just because I have a wrist, feels... amazing. I should have done this a long time ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 the 116170LN GMT2 has been on my wrist for the last few days, after an absence. I would take advantage of the Rolex steel sports watch boom (bare watches are going for crazy prices, and I have box and papers and receipt) if it weren't just such a fucking good watch, and super comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdipisReks1 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Forstner JB Champion Flat Link bracelet (brushed) ordered for my 1861 Speedy. I hate the bracelet that came with it, and have always worn it on a strap because of that, and I also don’t really want to spend the $1,000 or whatever it will be for the bracelet that was introduced with the new coaxial Speedy (it has been confirmed to fit the older models, maybe requiring a kiss of a grinder if you want it to be perfectly flush). The bracelet on my Pre-Moon is more or less perfect, and the Flat-Link should be similar. I’ll report back. This is a “normal” bracelet, so I won’t have the issues that I did with the mesh one (which has found a happy home since).

EdipisReks1 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) The Forstner flat-link came today. Adjustment is a little fiddly, but even I managed it without too much difficulty. I’m very happy with it. It’s a long bracelet (I took out six links), but has a short buckle, so it should work with a lot of wrist sizes. If anybody gets one, I would suggest sizing it slightly tight, as it has three expansion links. It feels like a well worn in vintage Jubilee bracelet, though obviously not as solid; it’s a modern interpretation of a shitty JB Champion, after all! The Forstner bracelets are much better made than anything JBC ever made, but retain the vintage charm.

The bracelet on the new Master Chrono Speedies are very nice, but also an expensive replacement, assuming you can even get one. I looked at the bracelet that came with this watch and immediately put it on a strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I never really wore my 1861 Speedy much. Why would I; I have a Pre-Moon. I haven’t taken it off since I put it on this bracelet. Highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiSam Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I have been waiting on a watch I ordered a long while. Knew it would be a test of patience. That’s all fine and good but I broke down and bought myself a little something in the meantime.... HS 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
