Finally, I got my hands on an Omega Constellation 1969 (168.025 Cal 564) with the pie pan dial. For a 50+ year old watch, it looks amazing, and I want...

What's your favorite Casioak mod?

I've been having way too much fun with the Casio GA-2100 series mods these days. How would you mod yours?

Does anyone know a good vintage Zenith watch maker? I'm getting a vintage Zenith soon, and as much as I like my watch maker, he's more of an Omega guy, and I'd like to send a vintage Zenith to a Zenith specialist if I can.

Any Zenith service provider that you'd recommend?

This catwiki place is a dangerous place. I just spent a couple of hours browsing on it, and I didn't even realize how much time had passed. The WC got me into buying vintage watches. Now, I'm eyeing a vintage JLC on catwiki.

Note to self, ask the kids to go to a cheaper college.

Wearing a G-Shock right now. I am willing to trade with a vintage gold VC. I know, the things that I do for the watch community. 😉

Which color is that? Cielo? That looks fantastic. Your photo looks so much better than the photo from the cw website.

Vintage Omega Constellation with the pie pan dial. Loving it these days.

commented on How do you start a conversation about watches with people who are collectors and with people who are not? ·

Agreed 100%. I always compliment the watch unless the watch is a Rolex. If it's a Rolex, I don't bother. I always say something if a person is wearing a vintage watch, but be ready to listen everything about the vintage reference for minutes at least. I've seen a guy wearing a Doxa once, and I got so excited. He was excited to find another Doxa wearer.

EDIT: By the way, this is not a Rolex hate. It's just that people who wear Rolexes may or may not be someone who wants to talk about their watches. Whereas if I see a dude wearing other lesser known brands, he's dying to talk about it.

Should the hardware on a NATO strap match your watch case color?

I recently bought some cheap NATO straps (unironically from CNS) and didn't even think about the hardware matching the watch case color. Does this bother you? This would bother the heck out of me if t...

Casio GA2100 Mod - Less Royal Oak and more GMB2100

My previous mod was a "black out" mod from SKXMod. The quality was great, but I was embarrassed to wear it around. The new mod, from Barton Oak store...

Casioak mod (my first mod ever)

This is my first foray into the modding world of Casio GA-2100 (aka Casioak). I do think I bought the mod kit that is too on the nose to be a "Royal O...
