What do you think about the new hybrid cotton Bark & Jack NATO straps?

Yesterday Bark & Jack released some new NATO straps that they call Seventy30. They describe them like this: The Seventy30 weave is 70% man-made fi...

Didn't know about WOE. Will check them out!

commented on SOLD! 👨🏻‍⚖️ What have you guys sold recently, and why? ·

You should never sell a good 6R35 movement, as those are quite rare - mine SPB 153 is losing 25 sec/day. 😭Worst movement I've ever had, which kind of ruins a great watch for me.

commented on Some hate Tissot PRX but I love them! ·

Congrats! I love my PRX as well, despite its small shortcomings. My main issue with the watch is the protruding midcase on the back, which IMO should be 1-2 mm slimmer for optimal fit (e.g. what CW have down with The Twelve). Still, given the price it's an exceptional and very versatile watch.

A lot of people complain about the plastic escapement and the laser regulation, but for me it's not a big deal. Mine runs pretty accurately (+2-3 spd) and probably it'd be cheap to service (even if not everyone will be able to do it), so that's fine.

Great pairing! Where’s that NATO strap from? Looks like the new Bark & Jack, but I guess other vendors have something similar as well.

Great pairing! I love the Willard!

commented on neomatik's WRUW ·

@CdeFmrlyCasual Feels relatively compact to me (the lug-to-lug is quite short) and I definitely don't have a big wrist (17 cm). On the pictures it looks somewhat bigger than it is, because of the close-ups.

commented on 6R35 accuracy ·

A few months later I can say that the accuracy did get worse! Now it's losing -25 sec/day and a local watchmaker mentioned that the amplitude of the moving is like that of a 20 years old movement without servicing. I guess I'll ask Seiko for a warranty service soon, as that's quite disappointing.

Why isn't the SW-300 movement as popular/common as SW-200?

On paper the SW-300 is a better movement in every way: It's slimmer by 1mm (this makes it possible to build slightly slimmer watches) It has a higher...
