What watch do you wear?

[Hyburnate]

Take it apart and remove them? That's if you don't want them that is

 

[Doohickey]

Ahhh I would very much like a Bremont.

It's snap together from the factory, taking it apart behind the screws I already tried would most likely break something!

The winder I got the other day works nicely, it's about as quiet as a home laptop I'd say. It has 4 modes which may prove useful in the future. The blue LED strip going around the face isn't really something I care about so modded it with black electrical tape so instead of a translucent trim shining light in all directions it's just a thin strip like diffused neon. Looks better, shines less light

How much was it and where from? I still need to get a bday present for my Father, his Rolex is a wind-up so this might be ideal.

Which movement does that use?

The Omega 3304 which apparently is based on the Valjoux 7753.

@ £52 that looks quite expensive for what it is.

I ordered this one yesterday - Klarstein 8GL1S Watch Winder : £62 including delivery

It stands out for all the wrong reasons. Come on man, have some decency/taste!

I don't know, it's so flashy that, I kind of like it.

I saw that one and discounted it based on not having auto modes, the button on the back of that one just switches the direction. It looks fancier and thus a small amount pricier but has less features and what appears to be the same motor. This one I leave on mode C, rotates for 20 mins one direction, rests for 10 then rotates for 20 in the other direction and repeats.

Just stick it in the tumble dryer on a cool setting.

Just buy a 99p mains anologue timer and boom, custom resting mode on your winder have been added.

That's a waste of thirty thousand.

 

[Scrumpy_Jack]

None, not very good at replacing batteries

Anyone looking for a Seal like watch at a more affordable price should check this out from Borealis, really cheap for a 300M diver with some pretty nice specs to boot.

I was browsing ablogtowatch yesterday and found a watch which looked amazing. I could see it was going to be expensive but still within my reach I hoped. It cost $190,000

That is horrendous! More money than sense to the buyer of one of those

As we've discussed in the thread before, such value can be put on purpose made watches made by one man for the owner as something like that will never be identical.
