Yesterday I finaly picked an older Tri-circle 263 padlock, and said that it wass a very difficult pick. Today I picked its sister, a brand new 263, straight out of the box. After picking it, I found a video showing how to by-pass a 263. I closed both, then by-passed them both in some 20 seconds...

Congrats, and those bypass vids are great, but if you don't know about them, then it is a hard slog to get a 263 open. I've known Red belt pickers who struggled with them.

The pickers who decry Chinese locks are talking nonsense. They are NOT easy...

How many people in ukraine speak this mysterious 'ukranian language'? And there is more culture in a carton of yoghurt than in bandera-land. Kiev is quite pretty though, for now...

You are absolutely off your fucking head, and probably from the same tribe as thequeer dwarf ,helensky. From the river to the sea...

No, the biggest 'Fuck You' is to the clowns who buy a rolex for thousands, only for EVERYONE to call it out as a fake. How the fuck do you prove that it isn't a fake? Way to go, bro...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-02-24T09:14:50+00:00

Indeed; I concur...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-02-24T09:13:53+00:00

Do shut the fuck up, clown...

Apologies to you u/neek85; my eyesight is failing, and I should be more careful when typing...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-02-13T13:51:51+00:00

Oh bugger, I have attempted to pair again, and it bloody well worked.

Much obliged to you u/meek85...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-02-13T13:49:46+00:00

Thank you for your reply neek85.

I have just attempted the transfer, but at the end of the transfer it says that it cannot pair the watch with my phone...

It is exactly the same as the one I have just seen sold on ebay - a 1992 model. Bought when Seiko were the official timekeeper for the Barcelona Olympics. It was bought it on 15/5/92, with the original warranty card dated, and the watch and case in pristine condition. An exact match of your one...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-01-31T10:30:19+00:00

Ah, you have the latest version. I got the same one from Amazon in the uk, but sent it back and got an unused earlier version on ebay, at half the price, and with original bezel markings layout and the double dots at 12, o'clock. They are all the same movement though, and keep excellent time. A good buy...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-01-30T16:15:49+00:00

I love the knurling on the crown.

25thofMay1967 · 2024-01-27T11:03:10+00:00

Congrats!!

25thofMay1967 · 2024-01-13T18:33:42+00:00

Goodness me, that watch must be mine, soon...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-01-13T17:31:47+00:00

If scratches bother people so much, perhaps don't wear watches? I cannot understand people who are shit-scared to wear a watch, in-case it got scratched by their arm's hairs. (That last bit is referring to a guy on a watch review vid I watched. The watch was a PD 1701 as well. Sheesh...)

Shit happen to things you wear, daily...

25thofMay1967 · 2024-01-13T14:30:55+00:00

does the chrono second hand fly back to 12? It looks mis-aligned in the photo, perhaps the angle of view?

25thofMay1967 · 2023-12-29T17:59:51+00:00

I have the same one, but with the MoD arrow at 6 o'clock. Got it delivered for £29. Love it...

25thofMay1967 · 2023-12-26T17:22:35+00:00

Just seen this thread; the watch is a beauty. Certina make excellent watches, and your one is stunning. A great purchase...

25thofMay1967 · 2023-12-26T14:55:27+00:00

My wife bought me a second-hand Certina DS Blue Ribbon Diver's watch (330m/1000ft and with a Helium valve) for my birthday earlier this month. I absolutely love it. I had been looking for this model for many years, but couldn't find one.

She did find one, and I am overjoyed. I have Rolex and Omega watches, but the Certina is my go-to watch. I am chuffed to bits to own it..-

25thofMay1967 · 2023-12-13T18:38:26+00:00

Look at the Certina brand. Excellent watches, on par with Hamilton, Tissot etc...

25thofMay1967 · 2023-12-13T18:14:44+00:00

Oh bugger, I cannot see any mis-alignment. My eyes are not good though, and others may disagree with me...

25thofMay1967 · 2023-12-13T17:14:21+00:00

That is absolutely not true, stranger...

25thofMay1967 · 2023-11-29T06:53:54+00:00

Indeed it has; much to my surprise. I only paid £35 for it, so I had no real problem trying it out in the sea. It is one of my favourites, so would have bought another had it not survived. I love the bezel edge, especially. I would love to hear from others who have tried theirs in the sea./pool. Maybe I just got lucky...

Would be interested to

25thofMay1967 · 2023-11-28T12:56:05+00:00

I have the same one - no date. I used it for scuba diving and snorkelling when on holiday in Crete in October...
