luvdunhill Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I probably have $1K in the Ball and more like $1400 in the Sinn. Have boxes and all paperwork for each. I would go down a bit as I am getting a good deal on their replacement. Also willing to let anyone inspect them on loan. More looking for interest (enablement) as I am out if the country and the Sinn is getting serviced in Germany.

HeadphoneAddict Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Revue Thommen Grandville two-tone. Went looking for a custom made watch band for a Pulsar titanium solar watch that won't fit me, and instead I got a screaming deal on this (new old stock). They look very similar, but this is nicer. Although now I'm thinking maybe I should give my step-dad a nice watch for father's day instead of the usual gift cards for a nice meal. I wonder if this would look better on a 6 foot 2 inch retired 79 year old bald jewish man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Nice Christopher Ward sale going on. 30%-50% off select models: http://www.christopherward-usa.com/sale.html wasn't planning on buying a watch but just had to pickup the Trident I've been looking at for several months: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Man, that's nice and a lot cheaper than a blue Seamaster Pro. Good score. I like blue watches. My Orient Blue Mako XL dial has more of a "blue satin" look to it, but often it's hard to tell that it's blue. One pic it looks black, the other you can tell it's blue. (I installed a SS bracelet on it the other day, so that's different in the photos) Edited June 18, 2014 by HeadphoneAddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Love my Mako. Has the Pepsi bezel. Wife bought it for me for $97 and the fit and finish is beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I picked my Blue Mako XL up as a 1-month old used watch for $115 shipped, with both the rubber strap + signed SS bracelet, with box and manual. Strangely, no receipt... I do like interesting and cool watches, regardless of costing a little or a lot. I like to get value for my money. What I like about Orient is that they make their movements in house, and I understand that many are decently decorated, while Chr. Ward uses an ETA-2893-2 and doesn't sign it. But it's been quite hard to resist buying a Christopher Ward watch during the sale, as I have my eye on the C60 GMT Trident, but I must resist, resistance is not futile. But for $658 maybe one could make an exception? I must remind myself, why buy a new GMT when I have a 14 year old GMT?

HeadphoneAddict Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I picked up a new leather NATO strap for my mid '70's Speedmaster Pro. It's really comfy and light, enough that I can forget I'm wearing a watch. This way I can avoid trashing the original and vintage 1171 bracelet during casual daily wearing. I can still put the SS back on when I want to be more dressy. I tried a generic JB clone shark mesh bracelet like the astronauts wore, but I didn't like the look on me.

grawk Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I always either picture speedmasters on leather or on those expanding elastic metal bracelets. NATOs seem more suited to a different sort of watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Well, technically it's still leather. I'm in the market for a real two piece leather strap, but I'm taking my time. Thinking about a Hirsch. PS: I'll take a picture of my shark mesh bracelet tomorrow and see what you guys think.

n_maher Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Sorry, the video for that watch is so douchey that I'm completely turned off by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 This was a good article on the watch, that's a little more positive about it. I never watched the video. http://www.ablogtowatch.com/withings-activite-fitness-tracker-device-elegant-timepiece/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Fair enough Nate. I have never been to the website before putting that link up. I got interested from:http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/07/withings-activite.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I was thinking about installing this shark mesh bracelet on the Speedmaster, which looks a bit like the JB bracelets the astronauts wore with theirs, when not using a velcro strap to wear it on the outside of their spacesuit. I've got a shot of it next to the factory 1171 bracelet. I see the Omega version a lot on Seamasters too, but that one is a bit thicker and sturdier than the aftermarket ones.

HeadphoneAddict Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Or, I've been offered one of these as a gift from a friend. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 New Trident: I love it. Was worried about the size when I first put it on, and I still think its a little big for my wrist, but I still love it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postjack Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Nice, PJ! What size is that? Looks like something that would look normal on me. **BRENT** 42mm. My other Christopher ward is 40mm. I'm thinking 40mm is the size for me, though I know different types of watches sit different on the wrist regardless of size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Oh. 42mm would be too small. I thought that was mid/upper 40s. Thanks. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
