Anybody else start their chronograph and then forget about it?

commented on Solar Eclipse in 11 Days! You going? With what watch? ·

This one is too far from home, but I was able to get into the totality for the last one, it was awesome. I'd probably wear my Zelos Mako V3 Titanium Frost if I was going, get that sweet lume glow when the darkness hits! Not that I would even be looking at my watch, the eclipse is too cool to look away from.

From a microbrand, it's expected, they just do small runs. From bigger companies, sometimes it's too actually mark something specific, and sometimes it's just marketing. I'm looking at you, Omega.... And Seiko too. I don't know that I'd call a watch that they are making 4,000 or more of a limited edition.

Same watch, but you guys see the crown to get the full affect!

I've got that same watch, love it!

commented on Opinions on a new bezel.... ·

I would get the exact same colorway bezel, that's a big part of the looks of this watch.

commented on What’s your most unique watch ? ·

Bulova Accuquartz. Check out the difference between the top and bottom lugs! And the quartz regulated tuning fork movement gives an almost perfectly smooth seconds hand sweep.

commented on Custom watches? ·

Yes, although I haven't done any dial painting. I prefer finding the dial and case I like, and then buying multiple handsets so I can mix and match to get the exact look I want. Might try some kind of custom dial paint, but nothing like yours.
