Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - The Atlantic Automatic Casual Sport Watch

Same, but that dial is great - reminds me of Zelos and the recent Zodiac Farallon. Would love to see it on a diver.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Fanos Watches - Osimiri 500m Titanium Dive Watch

Went down as rabbit hole after this was posted, so here are a couple more reviews of the prototype. ( I think the Relative Time review John posted is still probably the best, though the reviewer sounds to me like Loyd Grossman on Xanax [emoji23]). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7oXMMKVBFQE https://m....

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?

Such a fun watch. I really like Farer's use of colour and their overall design language. I just haven't figured out when I'd wear one - sadly, my day-to-day is pretty conservative - but, as soon as I do, I think I'll pick one up. Yours looks great and looking forward to seeing more pics!

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Fanos Watches - Osimiri 500m Titanium Dive Watch

Thanks for this - backed.

It has a sort of Pelagos-meets-Tourby Lawless vibe to it. Very clean and utilitarian.

It'll be interesting to see if they can pull this off for the price.

Re: Cheap but good shark mesh?

Thanks both - just what I was after. I'll test the amazon ones and then move up to the gecko if it works.

Cheap but good shark mesh?

Hi, gang, I fancy trying shark mesh on a couple of my divers. However, I'm not sure if I will love it, so I don't want to spend a fortune on a gamble. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced source of shark mesh bracelets that are also of decent (enough) quality? I'm thinking around the USD 50 or l...

Re: Altoids Tin Springbar Kits- Join the Waiting List

This is brilliant. I'm not in CONUS and don't have access to a 3d printer, but if I was / did, I would be all over this.

Bravo!

I quite like that. Anyone have any experience - good or bad - with Baltic as a brand?

"Atlantis the lost of city"? [emoji848]

Hopefully fixed in production. Cool (hot?) idea though.

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!

So Breitling released some new/updated models today in some intriguing colors. Not overly familiar with the Breitling brand/lineup, but that Copper chrono moves the needle. Just need to start getting in to scratch offs to save up the $15k to buy one [emoji6] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2021040...

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!

Quite a nice little Genta-inspired sports watch from Rotary, of all brands. Movement is a bit...meh...but a decent beater at a nice price (£250 ish in the UK). https://www.watchreport.com/rotary-regent-hands-on-review/ I have one incoming! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210402/eb9e341b6c0eff9bbb...

Water resistance vs pressure test

Hi, gang, Hoping someone knows the answer to this question off the top of their head. I've had a dive watch serviced, during which it was pressure tested to 3atm (the max the Seiko service centre could do, apparently - absurd but there we are!). Now, I know stated WR on watches doesn't necessarily c...
