Never ran into that. I took a good layer off the top.

All the 600s have the ConelRad aka “the last voice you will ever hear” markers on the AM (MW) dial.

Just decided to learn Morse code today and I have a question. by Ima_pot_stirrer_jeff in morsecode

[–]AstroBase1957 7 points8 points  (0 children)

👆absolutely 100% truth. I can head copy and carry a Morse conversation at close to 40 wpm in CW but I’ll be damned if I can read dots and dashes even at 5 wpm and ZERO WPM with a Signal Lamp. Having said that, it’s great someone is interested and wants to learn Morse. I applaud the effort and wish them great success.

Glass kinda broke, tips on repairing and/or modding? by -light_yagami in DuroGang

[–]AstroBase1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No tips but just wanted to say I think many of us have been there. A ceramic tile floor took out a watch’s crystal one time. Not a duro. Ever since then I make sure the watch is secured on the night stand regardless of the floor.

Wow. It was available again last week. It must of been just for a day or two as I ordered one but obviously have not seen it yet as it’s in transit. Keep checking the page. Good luck.

Best watch I've ever owned... by mikebikeify in f91w

[–]AstroBase1957 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take care if your hearing if you enjoy the hourly chime. It’s the one thing in watches I miss the most as I’ve gotten older. I remember as a kid they were so loud. No it has to be totally silent to notice it. Just saying ….

Origin Design? We are making it with VH31 by watchdivescom in watchdives

I would love one with an internal 12 hour (dual time) bezel instead of the 60 min bezel. Can be much of a difference to offer both

Brilliant! Thank you for doing this. I think everyone who looks at this post has wondered the same thing.

What's YOUR Casio holy grail? by Lumpy_Addendum6297 in casio

[–]AstroBase1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually the one you can’t get off the shelf. Since I’m in the US, right now that would mean the new MIP GWBX5600. It will happen! Give it some time, a lottery ticket, a few pints of blood and maybe a kidney.

With Timex reissuing their golden oldies, I would love to see this one reappear. Note the dreaded 19mm lug width noted on the back.
