wetsand and polish

[anabolice30]

My mom found a g shock in a parking lot and gave it to me. It still works but it was originally red, now it is a little darkened and dirty. How do I clean it up. Please nobody tell me to wetsand and polish it

Very jealous of some of the time pieces on here. I keep telling myself one day I'll own a luminox.

Heres my graduation gift to myself;

Vostok Kommandirskie Chronograph. I wanted a watch with a unidirectional bezel that I could wear every day and not have to worry too badly about knocking it on a thing or two. My father and I both have one.

My straps make my cheap watches look fancy lol

It's amazing what a strap change can do to a watch.

I almost got rid of this one but when I changed straps it was a keeper...for now lol. The watch is a Breitling Avenger Skyland BlackSteel with a modified Breitling strap

OK, last one for a while. I feel like Seiko was doing some really cool shit back in the 80s, and so much of the new stuff lacks any real
innovation. I believe that's why mechanical watches have made such a comeback. I know I love mine.

That said, Suunto, Casio, and even Garmin are doing some really cool shit with watches (wrist computers)?

Check out this 7A28 Yacht Timer. This is one I sold a few years back.

I like that Orient!!

[BlackSpeed66]

Here's my Orient automatic I bought from my cousin. He's a watch junky and he can afford it, haha. This watch actually has a slide-rule bezel instead of a chrono. Apparently it's popular in Japan - I've actually figured out how to use it to do calculations for some of my work stuff.



The other is my Swiss Army watch - I think it's called the Renegade. Nothing fancy, but the illumination works very well which makes it easy to see at night.

6138. And 6139 are autos. Not quartz. Have you run across a navi timer 6117-8000 at all lately????

Sorry, wasn't clear. I know those are autos. Haven't dug into watches for a while now, and it's fun to look at them again. I'm not familiar with the 6117-8000. Just googled and they look cool.

[mrsleeve]

Fair enough. It does look cool. I've owned a few 6138s. Great movement. If you're looking for chrono and don't care if it's quartz, and older Seiko yacht timer or any chrono with the 7S28 movement is tough to beat. It's a 15 jewel movement that should run forever. I still have a soft spot for O&W though. This guy's stuff is cool. He's a bit of a bird, but a super nice guy and quite fair. http://westcoastime.com/

6138. And 6139 are autos. And if iirc the ufo I have posted above was markted as the yacht timer, and Not quartz. Have you run across a navi timer 6117-8000 at all lately????

[ajhostetter]

That Bulova is great!! Here's the Hamilton I wear occasionally for formal stuff. My dad's uncle gave it to him.

[ajhostetter]

Something like this will run forever. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vintage-...item4acda14d1e

And, you will NEVER see anyone else with that watch. Additionally, the second hand on the right makes one full rotation per second when in stopwatch mode. It's super cool. The center sub-dial is the constant seconds. I'm not selling this watch, I just think this movement is one of the neatest ones Seiko ever did.
