Vintage Zenith Stellina

I just got a vintage 1960s Zenith Stellina from Catawiki. My first purchase from Catawiki, and I'm not sure if I want to do it again, but I got the pr...

Omega Constellation 1969

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?

Was your sample a bunch of folks who are crazy enough to participate in a bunch of watch forums?

I would agree with you 100% if you were talking about the general population. When the folks who voted in this poll happens to be a bunch of watch enthusiasts, I’d think the number skewing to “I don’t care.” would be higher.

I actually did not know that green and gold went together. TIL. Thanks.

If you don't mind the spring bar peaking through, you can just stick the deployant clasp on the regular band. No one sees it when it's closed.

Love the pie pan dial!

When I bought my 40mm one, I didn't really do enough research. The watch is designed to be a 38mm watch, but when they (whoever the manufacturer is because it's not Sea-Gull) created the 40mm version, they just made the dial bigger and used all the same parts including the hands. The 40mm version just looks odd if you look at it carefully compared to the beautifully designed 38mm version.

That's the 38mm one, right? I wish I got the 38mm rather than the 40mm one. The minute hand not reaching the minute markers is slowly driving me mad.

Love the vintage Omega. I think the fact that so many of these Omegas were handed down from our parents is just awesome. I got one that was my dad's wedding watch that he gave me later. I have a couple othere Omegas, but I do love the meaning behind the watches.

commented on Vintage IWC buying regret ·

30mm seems small. I bought a 34mm Omega, and I've been happy with it, even if it feels small.

I've been eyeing the vintage IWC watches, but I'd say that 34mm is the smallest I'd go.

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...
