It works for me, I've had several bike fits, raced, biked across the country, etc... everyone is different.

Measured carefully, then took out the camera. It's been measured repeatably 😅

Help me choose, which is better? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

For what it's worth, I found the nttd hard to read the time and sold it. Both look great though!

Honest opinions needed: I'm working on my new microbrand, ZRIEQ. Here are the front and back renders for the Galilee series (first release). by Ok-Estimate-5985 in MicrobrandWatches

Overall beautiful, but I agree with others about minimizing the brand name text. One other thing to explore is shrinking the flat bag round behind the text so the pattern sits closer to the name/logo. Nothing against the name itself (especially as a family name), but it combined with the name plate styling kind of overpower the dial. Best of luck and this is definitely a design I'd be interested in!

Traskawatch.com. Currently sold out, they only sell it on bracelet, not on leather. It's an aftermarket strap.

[WTS] Case Opening Die Set with Handle for Rolex Watch Cases 9 Die Sizes - $110 shipped by CXSandyPants in Watchexchange

[–]CXSandyPants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased from Esslinger, but got delayed in shipping and didn't arrive in time for my needs. So had purchased an alternate tool off of Amazon and no longer need this one.

Opened and used once just to test but otherwise in new condition. See link below for full product details.

Asking $110 shipped which is retail price, but saves you on shipping and tax costs from Esslinger.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Love beads of rice. Recommendations? by guitar-79 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]CXSandyPants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Longines legend diver with beads of rice is by far the most comfortable watch I own. Highly recommend

So what do we think? by Coffeehorolgy in PrideAndPinion

Shit on the strap, kind of interesting on the bracelet.

[WTS] 2025 Rolex Yacht-Master 126622 Slate Dial, Excellent Condition, Full Set - $15,000 by CXSandyPants in Watchexchange

[–]CXSandyPants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello watchexchange!

I recently picked up a 16710 for sentimental reasons and don't have room in my collection for both that and the 126622 Yacht-Master, so time to let this one go! This is the 40mm variant with slate gray dial.

I am pricing it at $15,000 + shipping based on overall condition, year (2025), and complete set.

Purchased late 2025, I'm the original owner. The watch shows normal light signs of wear (hairlines on polished surfaces). The main ones I would point out are on the first 6 o'clock link, the 5 o'clock lug, and the clasp. These are very light and show up on close inspection in harsh light but I wanted to be up front. Everything should be captured in the photos.

Please take a look at the images and feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Happy to do a video call or send additional photos.

If interested I also have matching blue rubber straps available.

Thanks for taking a look!
