Well, there you have it - engine turned. The rep bracelet is nice.
My bracelet endlinks don't wiggle. I might have to dremel a tiny bit. Might make a difference. I like to be able to strap if I want, from time to time.
I'm with you, brother. Always have, too. Reps are but a minor distraction upon my watch portfolio.
PS. Used to have a LeJour 7750. Gorgeous chrono, gave it to a pal who had been hounding me for a long time over it. He still wears it daily even after all these years.
Along with the Rainier Guards of Monaco, I will have to include the Buthanese Special Calvalry Unit (armed/trained to this day with bow & arrow mounted on horseback).
We also perhaps need to factor in Lesotho's mighty crafty & bellicose Basuto Regiment.
Breguet Type XX or if you want the date, a Type XXI.
Nothing finer at that price point.
Totally different than the rest.
And of course, one of the very very best!
AR AR AR AR... Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no...
Actually, AR in the real world means Acoustic Research. And I'm glad that I've got AR-3a's.
Miles Davis swore by them. He was glad he had AR. Me, too.
Solid walnut. True acoustic suspenion Alnico magnets, cloth surrounds... The first in acoustic suspension, and still one of the very very best. That's right: AR.
Great watch. The Zigmeister is tha man!
Too bad it's too big for my 6.85" wrist. Once things get larger 42-43mm, they start to look silly on me (aside from 44mm PAM, which sits uniquely on the wrist).
No Bang Hublot for me I guess. Too bad. It would be nice to have something really different in my quite predictable collection.
I'd also love to have an AP Wempe Dive watch, but I am sure that it would not fit right as well.
I have a custom bead blasted Seiko SKX-007K that is PVD and another SKX-007K that has the non-blasted bezel PVD'd.
The non-blasted bezel has a different color, more charcoal colored.
The blasted PVD looks the same as OEM PAM PVD process.
My 009 from Davidsen is the same color as my blasted PVD Seiko.
I know that Davidsen spent a lot of time researching/experimenting with PVD and various blasting methods.
It would be nice if someone offered an inexpensive bead blast service.
There are quite a few watches I would like to blast with varying gauges of media.
