The stem release is probably stuck or maybe broken. Were you able to reinsert the stem? Not familiar with that particular watch what is the brand and movement? As far as water resistance it is probably okay unless the seal came out with it. If it is a screwdown crown there is another seal inside...

Yes you are right. Don’t ever try watches. Tell your kids if their friends offer them watches, just say no,

Some acquisitions over the last few months or so For a hundred bucks or so really can’t go wrong with it, don’t think this color is sold in the US, had to do some hoop jumping and get one from the UK. Very sleek at 8mm or so. Actually wore it hunting quite a bit because of that and being...

Well done. Just wondering if you plan to import the Bontebok? Wonderful animals

This seems to be an unpopular opinion by what I’ve read in the thread but I would just rent rifles. You’ll spend the cost of renting one just getting yours there between a high quality case, baggage fees, and a travel agent. Depending on where you live you’ll likely have 3 flights to get to your...

Thank you for posting this. I've enjoying following along. Congratulations on your trophies. Hope the trip home goes as smooth as possible for you and looking forward to the final updates.

Nice pieces. If you could stomach a used one and 36mm you could get into one for maybe around 5k and under for one that’s not rebuilt/redialed (avoid those) 41mm is going to cost you though. Could always sell it down the road too to upgrade to a 41 and shouldn’t lose any value. Oddly my Rolex...

Yes, some won’t. Others won’t because movements can be all over the place. Higher end fakes are mostly dressed up ETA 2824 clones (very common movement). Sadly there are probably 50 fake Rolex’s for every genuine one in the wild and all with varying degrees of quality from absolute lower than...

I agree. Sadly Seiko is behind the curve on a lot of features. Amazing they can make what they do (and as many of them) in house and at their price points but they do often leave a lot to be desired. It might be worth your time looking into some micro brands that use seikos (and others)...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Sacrilege! Don’t even get me started on smartwatches. (Don’t mind me just causing trouble in the watch thread again and I haven’t even had a drink today!) Cheers.

Please don’t take what I said as a personal attack on you or your watch. I simply like watches and that is my personal critique/opinion of what she chose to wear. She’s free to wear whatever she wants.

Maybe she has man sized wrists lol. I’m pretty sure she bought it gray market as well IIRC from the article “to pass down to her family” Kudus to you if you got yours for MSRP

A Daytona is a hunk of a watch. Sure it’s “only” 40mm but add in the 3 crowns and it’s 12.4mm thick and weighs nearly 200 grams. It’s hardly a woman’s watch even in the era of flavor flav style clocks on people’s wrists. I’ve never personally found mechanical chronographs to be all that useful...
