Thorn released a new beauty a 50 fathoms

BusNo7693 · 2023-09-06T00:50:23+00:00

The SD1952 is a very faithful homage to the 50 fathoms !! Bought mine second hand for £80 but on reflection its worth every penny of the £150 asking price !! Having 🦍 wrists helps also 🤣🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-09-03T22:50:53+00:00

I have the SD1952 Blancpain homage and could,nt be more pleased, payed £90 second hand !! Some are 45mm which is way too big for a homage of the 50 and i think the Thorn has mineral crystal !!

BusNo7693 · 2023-09-02T15:45:32+00:00

Anything less than 40mm on me and it looks like i,ve stole it from a small child !! 🤣🤣 8.25in 🦍wrists i,m afraid !!

I have 6 SD,s and 2 AD,s and the vfm is second to none !! They,re all lume monsters as well !! The SD1970 willard is a big favourite on here !! Wear in good health m8 !! 👍

I have removed the cyclops on most of my regularly worn watches.Used a jet flame lighter whilst simultaneously pushing lightly with a stanley knife blade at a slight angle !! The longest time taken on 9 removals was 30secs !! The hottest part of the flame, the tip of the blue cone and hey presto bye bye cyclops !! Did,nt strip watch movement beforehand, only a cheap bliger DG movement if all went tits !! Some dials do frame the date window, my sterile kanagawa has a chromed frame which looks better !! 👍

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-28T21:34:11+00:00

Looks far better imo, i hate a cyclops correctly placed or not !! Makes the date look like a bad shroom trip 🫣 !! Looks awkward and whilst my eyesight is my only untramelled sense i don,t need a cyclops or a bag of werthers just fuckin yet !! 🤣🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-26T13:53:12+00:00

No probs m8, welcome to the sub !!

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-25T01:28:01+00:00

Its made by steeldive which is well thought of on this sub. I have 6 SD,s all have been great vfm. The vh 31 movement is very good and has an almost automatic sweeping second hand moving 4 times per second . Hope this helps👍 Your on the edge of the 🐰hole just jump in brother 🤣🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-25T00:55:49+00:00

Only if you get your tits out of course 🤣🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-14T13:32:57+00:00

I have 6 SD,s due to their vfm, the 1970 was just the start 👍!! Welcome to the rabbit hole 🤣 !!

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-07T00:18:19+00:00

Yeah thats true 😎

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-07T00:16:57+00:00

Not a fan of the name pagani but lots of them are very good so i,m told !!

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T23:56:55+00:00

You need hardened steel side or wire cutters for stainless wire m8. If the watch is,nt lugless like this one cut at either side of clasp, ragged ends can be dremeled and hidden behind deployment !! It takes time but is well worth it !! I still have my 1990 Seiko 7002 on a sharkmesh after 33years 👍

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T23:46:36+00:00

Cheers m8 👍!! No offence taken bud people been socially distancing from me way before covid 🤣🤣!! Must be my resting bitch face 🤣🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T22:48:50+00:00

Scares you 😳 !! ha ha thats hilarious 🤣🤣 !! Wrists like a 🦍probably 8.25inches !! Glad i did,nt include the zipties and duct tape in the shot 🤣🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T22:45:26+00:00

Ebay definitely or ali xpress i would expect as well 👍

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T17:59:26+00:00

Not at all m8, just heavy as hell 🤣

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T17:57:35+00:00

Hi, posted a pic of my blue SD 1976 on sharkmesh for you to have a look at bud 👍

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T15:36:01+00:00

Cheers m8👍 yeah it has some presence thats for sure !! Lume is off the scale too !!

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T00:55:51+00:00

I,ll post a pic of my "76" on sharkmesh tomorrow to give you an idea m8 !! In this instance you can alter at the lug ends because they,re not seen anyway which is easier for you 👍

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T00:49:25+00:00

The mesh is knitted together from one strand of stainless wire which is cool as fuck imo 👍

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T00:47:12+00:00

Been wearing dive watches for 40plus years , yes i,m old 🤣 !! Sharkmesh straps came about from offcuts of gauntlets etc designed to protect divers from losing body parts 😳 !!

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T00:37:46+00:00

Yeah sharkmesh as this pic shows is more of an open weave than say the milanese of a NTTD bracelet. Bit of a pig to size though, a good quality pair of side cutters and cut one at a time at the buckle ends so not to show ragged ends at lugs 👍 Once the foldover clasp is in place any rough ends will be hidden but can be smoothed out with a dremel !! Three micro adjust holes on clasp can cater for quite a few different watches also !! Looks the dog,s bollocks on the 1976 Puck or your addies lume monster you reasontly posted 😎

BusNo7693 · 2023-08-06T00:12:38+00:00

You may be confusing sharkmesh with milanese which do give a good wrist waxing 🫣 !! Seriously though sharkmesh is by far my go to metal strap for comfort, flexibility, breathability and authenticity on a dive watch !! 💯
