One of my coworkers knocked the bezel off of his Sub a few months back. Apparently it happens.

Yep. Doing some minor home improvements - banged it on a glass table and initially was more worried about the table. 30 minutes later I went to check the time and found it like this. Found the bezel on the floor.

To my eye nothing looks too bad, but it didn't just pop back on. Going to take it by David Gardner tomorrow.

Interesting read, had never seen that.

Anyhow, DG's tech charged me $75 and said it would be ready Tuesday.

My speedmaster I've had on order for a while has just come in. Really dig the yellow lume, the honey comb design on the dial and the new -0/+2 movement they have in this bad boy with some kind of unholy stabilizer wheel they invented made out of unobtanium.

I also like the fact that it's 44.25 as speed master's wear a little small due to the truncated lugs.

I should get it in on Monday and will post a review

Does anyone have a recommendation for a service shop near Plano/Frisco? I have an automatic that's quit winding.


Just saw this. I have used this group a few times on Rolex maintenance and repair and they always do a really good job. Located in Plano off Parker near tollway. Website stinks but the workmanship is quality.

If this isn't a Houston Oilers cardigan, then it's super gay. If Oilers, I'll allow it.

It's a 1989 Taylor Swift Cardigan.

And I'm drinking a pumpkin spice latte right now.

I do what I want.

I'd be happy with the WIllard Seiko... and punching a mirror.

Good. I saw this and was perplexed. I get pretty annoyed by dumb jargon and thought this was some weird watch term I wasn't aware of. We already have enough of it on here that drives me insane.

Agree. I'm a fan of German / Swiss craftsmanship, and when I try talk to WatchBros about my Stauers they just roll their eyes, turn away, and mumble some watch jargon.

Looking for thoughts on a "weekend watch".

Want something that will look good with either silver band or something like oysterflex. Preferably something that can change between the two easily. For wearing with athletic clothes at kids sporting events etc.

Currently have a two tone date just that i wear to work.

Leaning towards speedmaster but also would be ok with Tudor or zenith.

Budget $3K to $6K. New or gently used.

I like that.

To add I have a skinny wrist so anything under 40 is good.

This was gonna be my suggestion. I love my Pelagos 39, on both the bracelet and rubber strap.

Second the Pelagos.

When I bought my Speedmaster I was excited about changing the bracelet out for different straps until I tried to remove the bracelet. It can be a very frustrating experience. I wish more watch makers would adopt a quick release bracelet. It's one of the things that I really like about my Longines Zulu Time.
