TeeJay

Can't be in it, but absolutely love the idea

Fine starts, amigos :drinks:

Kinda scary that they'll just sell these to someone walking in off the street, no questions asked Going to try it out on wifey's leg later

I realy dont like where rolex is going with there new watches, i hate the dssd it looks realy bad.

But this one is coming out real soon the dssd V2 from the noobfacktory and this one is cool

Hahahaha

Ok ok, the v7 then

Waiting for mr TJ!

That's not for diving... It's the prototype for NASA astronauts to wear over their suits while performing EVA inside gas giants

Damn that is one fine build The strap is magic

Fantastic advice

I'm only gonna keep one of them and the other goes up for grabs...

Sounds like a good plan, I'll be interested to see which you prefer I like the grey dial simply because it is similar to the 7032. If it wasn't for that other dial(and color wasn't an option) then I probably would like the black dial

I ordered mine the other day, how long is shipping from WE? I haven't ordered anything from them in 2 years.

Regards,

Joe

It's been about 2 years since I ordered from them as well, so I'm afraid I can't help you there I hope you get your watch quickly

Crap for double post...

Aaah....

I will only keep the one I like the best and move the other one on down the line!

Craaaaaap....

What's up? Did you see the 7032/Heritage comparison pics and see how different and good those two combos can be?

Just to confirm that I am reading this correctly...this 'highly praised' watch is available via WATCH EDEN...(?).

This particular watch was not from WatchEden, but yes, WatchEden now stock it. I would recommend them to anyone as a fine dealer And as for 'highly praised', I can only say that this is a watch which fits my needs, and is good for me. If you don't like big watches, or quartz movements, it might not be the best watch for you

Well, T, I have just ordered the black and grey versions. Hopefully will be here in a couple of weeks...

Excellent From the pics I've seen, if you wanted to vary the look of them, I'd suggest keeping the black dial on the bracelet, and putting the grey dial on a NATO strap I do like how the watch looked on the bracelet, but with the bracelet being very difficult to replace (ie needs thinner spring bars to be safely re-mounted) and with summer approaching, it made more sense to keep it on a NATO strap for the time being

Great Teejay. I'll be picking up one of these!

I know how you like your chronos, bro, and I don't think this one will disappoint either Something I neglected to mention in the review, is that overall, it's possible to time three separate things simultaneously Item 1 by using the regular hands and dial, Item 2 by using the position of the minute hand and rotating the bezel to give a countdown, and Item 3, using the stopwatch function An absolute lifesaver when preparing a meal with complex timings Also, as mentioned in the review, the watch has an amazing wrist presence, wether on the bracelet or on NATO

I know what you mean there, sometimes it's easier to just go with the flow Always nice to be recognized though

Hmmm... They've at least given you credit as photographer, but I wonder what they would say if they knew that those were not 'factory finished' watches

PS If you're not happy for the pic to be used without the watermark, ask for them to remove it, it is your right as owner of the photo...

Here is the cased up result...

Absolutely love it Very nice work

What do you guys use to build that texture? I have matt clear spray but it doesnt look chunky like this one. This is the exact dial look I want to achieve on my 6538 project.

dizz

A technique I've read about (but not tried myself) is to apply a coat of matte varnish, and then blot it with a piece of kitchen roll to get that texture

Is there a rep of Heritage, other than the quartz one on another thread?

Not yet.. Will the factories shell out to re-work the rep to include a mechanical movement? I really wouldn't like to say To be fair, the quartz one is a really nice wear, and the movement really shouldn't be an issue with regards purchase, as the rep Heritage has plenty of other tells which would give it away long before the subject of the movement is raised

TeeJay, that looks excellent! THC is addictive!

SM300 for Thursday:

Thanks, amigo, it certainly is addictive Pretty pimpin choice yourself

Fine thoughts, K

First of all, fantastic pictures

I'd like to make a few points in defense of the Heritage:

Cyclops: Does it need one? For the most part, I've found cyclops' are only really helpful if looking at the watch directly face on, and that when simply glancing at the watch on the wrist, they tend to obscure the datewindow, so when there's not a cyclops, the vision is not obscured...

Knurling: Obviously a matter of personal preference, and to each his own I didn't think I would initially take to the knurling, but I do actualy quite like it. My one criticism of the knurling, is that when the watch is wet, the knurling does not provide any purchase for rotating the bezel, and the fingers just slip.

Wide bracelet links: The 22mm bracelet means that the lugs can stay relatively thin, compared to the bracelet/lug arrangement of the DSSD, so overall, makes for a more balanced whole I don't really think that the width of the mid-links is an issue, just that it's a bit of a break from the norm compared to other Rolex bracelets, and of course, it takes time to adapt to change

On the other hand...

I quite agree about the crown of the gen, it strikes me as 'a bit fussy' and unnecessary. I am also very aware that the bezel on the 7032 is much more streamlined than the bezel on the Heritage. I think on a smaller watch, the bezel would be overpowering, but I think because of the case size, it isn't so out of place. Also, while writing, I've just realized that the knurling acts to 'lower' the height of the bezel, where if the edges were coin edged, it would definitely appear thicker (and probably look too thick)

K, as you've owned them both, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts comparing the 7032 and the Heritage

No change here

Thanks, bro, that Classic Pepsi is looking good too

PS The background is the stencil for the right chest panel of my bodysuit

I'm kicking it off with this one. Same watch all week, and absolutely loving it. Really liking the casual feeling of the NATO strap, but last night, I decided to bring the strap closer to gen THC NATO by removing the 'back strap'. It's surprising what difference a small change can make

T, I bought a CNC engraving machine...

Very nice You'll be able to tackle loads of projects now

Looking good, what method of engraving are you using?

Next purchase will be a budget 16610 for use in a16800 conversion project
