Pretty cool, the cofounder worked with me directly for this! Came up with this idea!

This looks totally awesome. My only concern for you is you said the rose gold tone doesn’t suit your skin tone if I recall correctly. But I thought your salmon Roth looked good in your wrist shots. The skeleton hands are excellent. I’m pumped to see what you end up with.

"Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation."

Heck yeah. Whoever you are quoting gets it. That rendering EBITDaddy posted was slick. I would be happy to wear it.

And here we have a great example of Barthes' plaisir vs jouissance du texte, will let you figure out which is which.

Finally received my Chronostop back from repair. Apparently the seller had glued the pusher on.

New Omega pusher and crystal, with the beveled edge.

Wow! The OEM crystal with the beveled edge really does look sharp compared to the aftermarket version.

Glad it’s back on the wrist after a hiccup. Enjoy 👊.

Missed this part. That's infuriating to hear.

I am not so keen on buying a second hand watch when I read this (TBH I wasn’t before…)

Low tide kayaking on the Edisto and Wadmalaw Rivers. Some areas were only a few inches deep, but in these trying times, you can never be too careful. Hence the necessity of 300m water resistance.

Understandable. However, what of antiquated models that are no longer produced?

Banana.

Ugh, gross.

That RM 67 is great. A RM is the only brand for which I’d make an exception to my six watch rule.

Of RMs, that and the Dizzyhands (which is too large) are the only 2 in the catalogue I’d consider. Though the 67… On my mind a bit too much. Guess mummy could buy me one for my next birthday @Omega Male

missed a few pages, just catching up

Hi guys, looking for some opinions.

I'm thinking of swapping out the white-black date wheel for a black-gold wheel. I think it would look nicer than having a flash of white in the middle of the dial, and the numerals of the date and dial would match up more closely.

At the moment, I'm really wondering why it didn't come with the wheel in the picture since it is an available ETA wheel.

 

[SixOhNine]

I'd switch it.

Didin't think you could make that thing look less appealing, but you did! ;-)
