Anyone know of good watch cleaner (remove reside, polish, clean the stuff inside) in New York?
Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!
Did you see Tiger Wood's new watch at the Memorial? He was wearing the new Rolex DeepSea Dweller… awesome watch!
Bought a vintage Seiko 6309-7290 diver. I like it a lot but I found out most of the parts are aftermarket (bezel, hands, dial). It's a bit of a Frankenstein. I only paid $65 so I'm not too bummed though.
In the beginning the movement (Seiko 21 jewel 6319 automatic) sometimes randomly froze. I took the whole watch apart and retightened the screws on the movement and it seems to run pretty well now. Sticks & ticks to Atomic Time nicely. Power reserve seems a rather measely 24/30 hours though. I thought the 6319 would easily make it to 44. I think the movement may need proper servicing.

No, he is not. Tag dropped him late last summer and Rolex picked him up last October.

Well, my Seiko SNDA65 met an untimely death in a biking accident, so I decided this time I'd satisfy my desire for a military-style watch properly with a Combat B series. Behold my new Lum-Tec B7:

Always loved watches, never had the money to buy what I wanted, though.
For my birthday last year I got an Invicta 9937 OB. Nice weight to it and it only gains 3-4 seconds a week. That's good timekeeping for a $300 watch IMO. Also, I'm a sucker for watches where you can see the movement!
(Not my pictures)
Kind of bland movement, but it's nicer compared to other autos in the same price point.
Here's the face
Oh, and if you look it up on Amazon or eBay or something it will say "RRP $1,200". I think this is a load of crock to make the buyer thing they are getting an amazing deal. No complaints from me, though!
Next watch purchase for me will probably be Tissot PRC 200. But that's a long way away. HRT Streamer and Schiit Asgard (hopefully) coming up next

That's a pretty nice submariner homage! Nice chunky bracelet too. I never liked Invictas' huge minute hands and text overkill on the dial though. "AUTOMATIC PROFESSIONAL 660FT-200M WATER RESISTANT!!!"
I think for $300 I'd have bought a Maratac Pilot Automatic or a Precista PRS-5.

Oh bloody hell! Cannot un-see the ridiculous amount of text now, haha.
I'm really liking that Maratac. Looks like my wishlist just keeps getting longer..
