I get the feeling that people who complain about Kello are trying to time their watch with the caseback still fixed in place. $9 does not buy you a time-o-grapher .. you have to work a little!

Today is mighty DSSD day. (photo is actual size)

Interesting problem with this specific watch. The 2836 watch uses a Chinese add-on gmt module which is prone to malfunction so in the particular case of the gmt iic, buying the reliable asia 21j gmt movement version is preferred. The bonus is spending only $70. Your call, tho.

It doesn't matter that much to me. I expect a huge jam after CNY whatever some people say about it only being "two weeks".

My order was sat on for 5 days after photo approval, then shipped so I'm still empty handed.

Hard winding is a service issue, not a keyless works problem. If the keyless is broken, the power never gets to the spring and maybe the crown comes out in your hand.

http://www.PackagetrackR.com lets you track everything at once. And yes ... once the package hits the USA, switch to the USPS track, not the EMS track.

I had my last package in Customs for 9 days. 9x longer than usual.

It's going to be a 390 day today.

Can anyone ID that strap in the photo I posted? I can't seem to learn its source. Thanks. Btw when I posted about putting a assolutamente on a radiomir, I must have been drinking. That strap is way too narrow to be on a Rad.

Including shipping? Yeah, why not. What is it without shipping; 110$ ?

Hehe

No, there is no hitting but she does call me a dick for pointing the bright watch at her while she's trying to sleep.

i'm pretty sure you cant get an asian 7750 for anything like $100

On a fresh charge, I can read a page in the complete darkness or see my wife's sleeping face. Then she wakes up and says "your watch is too bright."

Yes, if you turn the bezel to a certain position, and depress the HeV, all of the lume dots project intersecting beams, ala the Death Star, capable of destroying a Fiat 500 (Gucci Edition)

Here's a total darkness iphone camera shot of my DSSD with (almost) 3yr old Zigmeister lume, taken last night. Notice it's less than a 1 second exposure (no seconds hand movement) so it's not some lame time-exposure to make the lume look better than it really is. Also, notice the red circle I've drawn on the image; I had to replace a cracked ceramic bezel on this DSSD, and replaced it with a NoobFactory stock bezel and insert, so unfortunately the pearl is no longer Zig-lumed.. This is how standard replica lume looks against SuperLuminova from Zigmeister.

Today ... hm ... I think is 1950.

Mary has sent me QC pics for a $88 Crazy Hours FM rep

There is a very new movement which is a close 3135 rolex copy, but it does not take genuine parts so you can not fix it if it breaks. It is too new to know if it is well designed and reliable. We are talking just a few months, here. There are no GMT versions of this new movement. Do a search for SA3135 to read more about it.

They are almost pretty-much partners, but two different stores.

Dealers are not required to all have the same prices. Some charge more, some charge less. Sometimes it is a little less. Sometimes it is a lot less. It depends from watch to watch.

For reference, the "late great" Swiss Steelfish. If the new one proves to be better, then long live the new king.

uh .. closer to a hundred sometimes.

Welcome and enjoy your new hobby! Read all you can, and ask what questions you have.
