Re: Oracle Time x CW Teaser

That is a cracking looking watch, although I'm still reeling from the news that people actually pay for Oracle Time.

Re: C8 Pilot Revival Clean Up

Oh my goodness! I've received a watch before with an abundance of wrist cheese, but... <gags>... hair as well?

I don't let my own watches even get in that state, I don't understand how someone could send a watch out in that condition. Still, it has at least scrubbed up nicely.

Re: New Paulin Neo

The other colours are indeed back, but with different colour dial printing. Most notable is the loss of the date; the old model balanced the date well and the date wheel did at least feature their proprietary font. I feel that not offering a date variant is a mis-step.

Re: Little Black Dress (I mean - DIVER)! - UPDATE

LITTLE BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK DIVER.... So - i love the C60 pro 600 little black diver, but wearing it brought out even darker thoughts.... i've been hankering for a while after a very black watch. All black. Black case, dial, bezel, strap. I've wondered about the Marloe Pacific and the Formex leg...

Re: Sapphire caseback for my 1970 Speedmaster Mark 2

That looks great Ferg. I’ve been tempted to put something similar on my Hesalite 1861, but the standard case back isn’t too shabby as far as case backs go!

According to a comment on the Facebook fan group, there's no lume on the indices.
