Anachronist Zero Pass Strap w/Seiko Marine Master Reduced

I love this strap! It lets my MM Reduced sit snugly on the wrist with no slipping or sliding around. It is a whole new wearing experience. Well done M...

Vaer G5 Meridian Navy/Black - 39mm USA GMT

I was initially concerned the watch might be a little too tall, but I was wrong.  Some watches maybe, but not this one.  The blue on the bezel is dark...

Thanks mate! I agree.

I love this strap! The Ron Burgundy is even better. If you can, get a couple. Well done Max!

I find it very interesting that your example timepiece is a Glycine Combat Sub. I have had two helicopter rotor issues. One was a new Marathon that was sent back for warranty service and the other a three year old Combat Sub. Both SW200-1 movements, and unfortunately wound 40 times before I put on either one of them. I have since learned to wind any Sellita or 2824 type movement until the seconds hand starts to move then stop winding. I then set the time and date if available and strap it on and let inertia do the rest. I did the same take-down on the Sub you did above minus the cleaning part. I wanted to inspect the gears and the teeth on the ratchet wheel. They were all good, so that wasn't the problem. I manually worked the pawl wheels - they were spotless and dry as a bone, but I didn't have the lube on hand so I hit them with the air puffer a couple times and reassembled the watch. I don't know how long it will last but the problem has remedied itself! Rare is the occasion that I tinker for fun and actually FIX something instead of breaking it even more 🙂 Cheers Miguel! Really appreciate your post.

I do minor maintenance on my watched. Bezel repairs (Rolex sub) which would fall und mods if I didn't use original parts and I also regulate my own watches if it's just a nudge or the turn of a screw.

I love the offset stripe on the NATO! The whole package looks fantastic.

Stay sexy! Now I'm sexy and crunchy! I'll take that all day long. I really appreciate this review as I have been tracking the titanium Certinas for a hot minute. Even with a 7" wrist the 50mm lug to lug is too much for me. I can pull one off with a G10 (NATO) strap but barely. Keep up the strong content Max.

Completely agree!  But I have learned to accept some imperfection, even if going against my perfectionist imperfection.
