It stops when power reserve reaches 0, simple as that. It doesn't stop if it says 20 and I sleep for 7 hours.

It's too big for a sig

Oooo, actually....hang on!

My 40mm MM , was not too sure if the 44 or 47mm would be too big for my skinny wrists.

Nice!

That design really doesn't look 12 years old!

Pic of my Parnis that finally arrived. Only had my Note 2 to hand, so this quality will have to do! I really like it, but the strap is dodgy, so a Nato one will be ordered soon. Which colour do you think would look best? Also, how do I make all 3 dials sit in the same position? It's my first watch with these functions, so I'm a bit confused!

Having your incredibly funny quote as my sig is not homosexual sir

Oh and do I need a tool to change a watch strap?

Captain · 13 Mar 2014 at 21:53

After today's antics, I'm not the best to answer that

What you need is a spring bar tool.

Just arrived which was surprising as tracking had it stuck at Heathrow... First impressions are very favourable. Nice bit of weight to it. Large, clean face. The strap is about an inch too long so I have to tuck it back a but maybe I've just got small wrists!

Hacking is the ability to stop the watch while setting the time (the seconds hand stops when the crown is pulled to the set time position) this allows for accurate time setting.

One of my large watch boxes as it stands at the moment:

Too many compartments to fill. :eek:

I've had this a fair bit now

2stepsteve.

Thanks for that -- I did that on my new watch (post 7982) yesterday but never knew it was called Hacking - Watch has gained 12 sec since.

Also like the manual wind - that comes in handy.

I keep looking at Skagens but can't make myself hit buy button.

Did they forget to paint the two numbers white or ten numbers black ??

Here's a couple of mine, my daily Timberland and my old Rotary which is about 6 years old.
