Re: The Curmudgeons Corner

Why can't I set the premier league darts to record?
Any other programme will record but not that one.

I've passed on these enough times to know I don't need to look at them again.

I can do without the "impossible to wind without a special tool" hand winding though.

Re: Moonwatch pusher fallen off - update

Sounds like a great result, and well worth a train ride. I am sure that can only persuade you (and many of your readers) to buy Omega again with confidence. Thanks for providing the update too. :D

Re: Oracle Time x CW Teaser

Sand dunes make a lot of sense for a dune watch. It's different to the Omega versions where the patterns are sharply delineated. These look shaped like real sand dunes. Certainly interesting. :D

Re: I've got a new watch and it's INCREDIBLE

That's some result for Andrew, although I don't really see a watermelon colour, so much as an attractive restrained terracotta.

I may have another look at the violet though, although I will struggle to get Capex approval from my wife.:D

@tikkathree
I'm sure this watch deserved a CW Cordovan. ;D

Re: CW box and chronometer certificate

@Bahnstormer_vRS The smaller box is interesting. Easier to store. Tribus shipped their watches in a much smaller package than CW. I don't recall offhand whether it was wood or just card. CW used to be able to ship non bracelet watches with the strap flat. I suppose they can't do that with the new s...

Re: When the minute hand is at the top of the hour...

Right, from what I’ve seen from watch repair videos (that’s the extent of my expertise on the subject) it really does seem to be popping the caseback off, taking the stem out, taking the movement and dial out of the case, using a pair of hand levers to pull the hands off, and realigning them. That ...

Re: Incoming

Were talking chronograph then. Speedy?

A tachometer looks like it might rotate, but doesn't.

Re: When the minute hand is at the top of the hour...

Here's the email I received from my local watchmaker, who has done excellent work for me in the past. Posting here in the interest of transparency and in case others are curious: Hi Jameson, I agree that this seems to be a very minor issue. In some cases you get some play in the hands where dependi...
