What watch did you wear today?

[sawman]

Just a short drive south of here is Gator Land, where they breed these fine reptiles, and sell them (their bi-products at least  ).  Last time I was there, I had a great BBQ gator sandwich and fries 

BTW, I'm wearing my Timex Ironman today.

My new gshock bit the dust . Now I have to contact customer support and send it in. Seems like it a common problem so I hopeful.

[Mercury]

Let me know how it works out.  I have to send one of mine in and I've been reluctant to do it.

[tattoosteve99]

I will keep you all informed. So far they sent me a email asking about it. I replied 3 times already with no response

Well after several emails and 2 calls later, Im happy to report that the watch will be repaired. The bad news is that the brain of the watch is dead therefore, a 3-6 week wait for parts. I really dont mind the wait as long as I get MY watch back cause its sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Cheers. It's a Panatime strap - vintage oiled or something. I picked it up from Watchuseek. Very soft, and nice quality

[Zed]

Very nice chrissy, love the panarai style buckles

Update! After 1 week it's on it's way back to me. That sure was a fast 3-4 weeks

Wearing the DW6900 today

Do you think the magnet from a slide on compass will affect any of the Casio g-shock models? Those without a compass built in that is?

Are you referring to one of those compasses that goes on the wrist band?

Yes. I have one on my other one with no ill effects so far but still

[sawman]

I'm no expert but it sounds like very little magnetic pull in one of those little compasses, then shielded by its case plus the casing of the watch.  Even if it's a G Shock with various gauges (Altimeter / Barometer / Thermometer) it wouldn't worry me in the slightest.

[tattoosteve99]

Thanks! It should be here today.

[Zed]

ive used a few of those little compasses on G-shocks with no problems, my only issue was i kept catching it on things, but a handy little thing to have  plus a smaller option to a large casio protrek ABC type watch,

Lil' thread bump with a pic of my Casio PAW2000 on a Maratac Zulu band.

This one is getting a LOT of wrist time. So lightweight, many groovy features and very comfy on the Zulu. It came with the standard plastic/rubber type band, which I find sweaty and bulky.

I really looked hard at the PAW2000 a while ago, but eventually decided on a Suunto over it. When I have enough spare cash I may pick one up eventually.

My glass bead blasted Citizen BM6400. This picture was taken last summer. I have since swapped out the black Nato strap for a Seiko flat vent rubber strap.

Very nice Was the bead blasting a custom mod?

Yes, I had Duarte at Northeast Watch Works do this for me several years ago. Back then it made some sense as the watch itself was only $100.00 which included shipping. The bead blasting was right around $50.00.

Unfortunately, the price of the watch has gone up. But, Momentum watches by St. Moritz has some (Atlas, Cobalt Lite, Cobalt V) that look darned near identical minus the Eco-drive. Decent watches that get good reviews and Momentum is fairly active over on Watchuseek forum in the "Affordable Watches" section.

Mike

I was going to say, that looks almost identical to my Momentum Atlas.



I just sold my Timex and have another Momentum on the way, they are great watches for the price.

Went on a very muddy MTB ride today so the usual DW-285, it needs a good wash now , so do i and the bike 

[sawman]

Speaking of mud, I had the Mudman years ago and it was great except the buttons were hard to push (hurt the fingers after a while).

i found some gasios do have hard buttons, the 285 has metal ones on the left side and flat plastic ones on the right, odd set up but i do prefer the plastic buttons over the metal ones, its all clean now, more than could be said for my bike

I like the DW9052's buttons a lot but worry that they could get clogged with dirt.

ive had a few003's and they have similar buttons, they do get gunked up but as long as you wash it out daily it should be fine, i prefer casio's with not too many fiddly parts like my dw-285 or the dw-5600e for muddy work 

[sawman]

A new addition to the family... an AE2000.  It's not a G, but it is 200m W/R and has all the essential features including world time.  It fits my wrist very comfortably too.

Awesome looking watch Steve!!
