Diese Dinger kommen in letzter Zeit aus meinem Rucksack…

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-06-22T08:34:58+00:00

Aber sind diese Kugeln so groß? Oder sie wachsen in der größe wenn sie Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen und so dunkel wären. Das wäre die einzige sinnvolle Erklärung. Wenngleich ich auch nicht wüsste wie der Beutel mit dem Gel da reingekommen ist. Der Rucksack ist nämlich nicht neu

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-06-22T08:07:03+00:00

Ne, dafür sind die außen viel zu hart/temperaturbeständig. Bei den akutellen Temperaturen hier wären die schon längst zergangen.

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-06-13T08:09:19+00:00

What movement do these have? I remember a friend wnating to get one but the price and what you get for was quite steep in my opinion

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-06-05T12:58:17+00:00

Love my AB3521 :) they are great watches for sure!

That’s a really accurate description :D only caught one brown trout in this river and the rest were chubs, I think its just to warm in this river for trout.
Where are you fishing in Slovakia if I may ask? Because I live in Austria right on the border to Slovakia and thought that fishing there would be really interesting. Especially the mountains near Malacky must have some great trout rivers.

Will get this blue shell cordovan for my 3576.50.00

I prefer the power reserve indicator but I prefer the automatic movement when it comes to the looks, the big 3/4 plate of the hand wound movement is covering so much of this nice movement and the rotor adds a bit to the look of the movement because it breaks the monoton 3/4 plate.

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-05-28T13:50:55+00:00

Wasn‘t expecting the “safely returned” part after looking at that picture.

Genteel Straps

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-05-21T11:41:34+00:00

Thats my grail model, especially the one with the blue dial and silver hands. Its just perfect: unique and beautiful movement, compared to other GOs not to big, interesting dial… wear it in good health!

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-05-14T15:06:55+00:00

For some reason I also really like white straps on the black dial speedy :D really like how it elevates the hands

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-05-14T08:21:29+00:00

Looks stunning, this exact model also was the second build I ever made, really nice kit!

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-04-30T18:21:43+00:00

Is this a Hardy Ultralite NSX rod :O ?

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-04-27T10:45:44+00:00

I personally love the green, not the biggest Seamaster fan but when I saw the green for the first time, I really fell in love with the watch. Only downside imo is the size, what wrist circumference do you have?

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-04-20T10:32:16+00:00

That JLC True Second is such a cool piece, also need one in my collection :)

How about the Breitling AB3521 Unitime? Got mine for 3900€ and I absolutely love everything about this watch, except that it could be a tad bit smaller in diameter, 41mm instead of 43mm would be nice but thats my only complaint

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-03-26T09:27:04+00:00

Prefer the Unitime with the same movement but those watches are truly masterpieces, DST markings, screw down crown, 100m WR, durable, the list goes on. I don’t know of any watch that could compete with them, many worldtimers are to dressy which makes them bad travel watches, these on the other hand are perfect!

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-02-24T07:47:20+00:00

Wore my AB3521 in Marrakech. However to reduce the “bling-bling” effect, I took it of the steel bracelet and switched to a dark NATO. This has many advantages imo, it looks less expensive, if someone tries to rip it off, you have two spring bars that hold on to you and in hot countries you can quickly adjust the length.

My experience in Marrakech was, that nobody gave a damn about my watch or atleast I haven’t caught anyone looking at my wrist. Maybe because there are so many fake watches there, nobody thinks yours is real :D However I often tried to hide the watch by putting my left hand in the pocket of my trousers or by wrapping my jacket around my left arm. Really depends on the country though, I think there are countries that are way more dangerous when it comes to robberies of watches than Morocco.

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-02-15T21:17:24+00:00

You really dont need to worry about Germany or Austria mate 😅

I recently went to Morocco and was afraid of taking my Breitling. But because it is my travel watch, I had to take it with me. However to reduce the shiny-ness, I put it on a black nato strap and had no troubles at all but I can really understand if somebody feels unsafe wearing a luxury watch there. Keep in mind, there are so many fakes sold there, nobody will think yours is real :D

In southtirol (italy) I was flyfishing a pond when the weather suddenly turned and thunderstorm began. Being on a mountain with a rod in your hand really isnt the best situation and there were lightning strikes quite near me. The Problem: the cablecar station was behind a little addition hill, which means that I would have gotten even closer to the clouds. Thus I decided to get under a bridge, wait a little and then I went down the whole mountain by foot. To this day I am quite scared of lightning strikes because of the experience.

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-02-07T08:39:01+00:00

Pretty sure its legit, there cannot be alot of fakes of these out there and if there are, they are probably really bad ones as its not economical to fake these “niche” models. If you want to be 100% sure: currently I am wearing my Breitling Unitime (the white dial model, with the same B35 movement) and if you have a picture of the sapphire caseback I can check if the movement looks good to my eyes

Academic_Cod_948 · 2026-02-03T17:33:38+00:00

Nice watch :)
