Offered in a trade. So buy. It's similar to his, Cept this has numbers and not all stick indices. Also doesn't have that original strap and buckle.
Oh nice dude, that's solid. Congrats! I've never really thought about acquiring a birth year piece.
Pics?

I can't imagine them being terribly expensive fixes, no? To be fair, most higher end watches I've owned have had problems. My panerai had issues, as did my Rolex, and my Tudor's 2824 had it's rotor fall off almost. One of the reasons I'm going to cheaper watches.

Always laugh my ass off when people post their watches and have a gun or a knife sitting next to their collection.

2.Oxi clean (attacks dry stains like a monster)
3.all (deserves a spot in the top 5 but not the best)
4.wisk (I respect the stain spectrum tech. But needs to fight harder for that top 3)
5.purex (up and coming in the game)

Heads up for my MWC brahs. Black orient mako USA is on sale at islandwatches for $160, down from $225. Just ordered the white one at full price, but this is a great deal for the price.

You can go to an accelerated program and get it done around 75k but no degree and be done in 6 months.
Or you can do what I did and take your time. Get the required licenses as you can afford them (no debt for me) and find people in the industry that are willing to help you as you go. Not usually financially but can help you get time in planes and maybe guide you along the path of gaining experience. I currently donate time as a flight instructor to younger pilots that work hard as a way to pay forward the help I got along the way. It took me about 3.5-4 years to get from no license to making a living flying and around 30k since I was methodical and planned the cheapest route. My peers might be paying back loans while I'm planning what watch I want next.
If you want it done fast it will cost a lot more. But learning to fly will never be cheaper than it is today.

Always count on you to come in with the clutch info. Unfortunately, one of my buddies bought that one from this Dallas character. And he's getting it serviced.

Want to get myself a nice daily watch:
Eye is on Olivier bronze diver, but Poison already sold his and been watching the used sites.
I'd like a bronze tool watch with date, but they tend to run big. Helson and Prometheus both seem too big. Any ideas? Budget <750.
Current collection is Rolex 5513, vintage Seamaster, current tool watch is a Citizen Sailhawk.

They need to do that in 38-40mm, black face, PVD coating and the orange bezel… I'd buy two.

I've always wanted to fly as well, even more so after having co-piloted (with full control mid-air) an L-39 Albatros fighter jet. It's such an amazing feeling, and incredibly liberating! Do you own your own plane yet?

By the way, if any of you guys are looking for a great watchmaker in the US, I know someone who does excellent work, and on average he only charges about $115 for a full service if I recall correctly. And if you're looking for an even greater master watchmaker in Canada, you have to buzz The Buzz.

Hey brahs.. Looking for a dive watch for max $500. Would prefer a Swiss movement and a max case size of 40mm. Was looking at the Squale Atmos 20 but it's too expensive here in Australia. Any suggestions?
I only eat food in bar form. When you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power, I'm told. That's why I'm compressing 5 pounds of spaghetti into one handy mouth-sized bar…

Does anyone know of a brand/style of watch that is basically a stopwatch on your wrist?
Something like this on your wrist
I saw one once and it looked neat but I can't find one anywhere
