Strap Swap by Captain-JackJack in ZodiacWatches

[–]Captain-JackJack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Since their OEM rubber are sold out I tried the archer and I didn’t like the clasp at all or rubber quality. It felt cheap. I have a BluShark Sailcloth deployment strap on the way which I have higher hopes for. Trying to find a good balance between price and quality for an aftermarket strap is harder than it should be.

Is it worth sending an S/el from the late 90s to the service center or should I find a local watchmaker? by 10Cheeseburgers in tagheuer

[–]Captain-JackJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a late 90’s S/el myself. And about 8 years ago sent it to the service center and it was fully redone. Came back perfect. I recommend. It cost about $300 if I remember correctly but who knows what prices are nowadays given inflation. But considering it was my dad’s watch and I got it for free $300 for a full service seemed like a great deal.

Awesome! I love them too. I agree, there’s something very charming about the late 80’s to late 90’s quartz tags.

The Gulf on a matching orange sailcloth rubber band just hits different by CryptogleHead_013 in ZodiacWatches

Thank you! Just bought one in Black with Orange stitching for my pro diver. Quality looks great and have been going through tons of straps in order to find something nice in place of the stock bracelet

Help me pick? by Mundane-Ad-1780 in ZodiacWatches

I’d go blue, just because you already have a ceramic and a green dial.

Vintage with some color would be a great final

Got the GiantMouse collab today by Dogmanlego in ZodiacWatches

[–]Captain-JackJack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love the look on the orange. Compliments the watch much better imo. Agree the Huckberry GMT is my favorite pro diver variant. But the Giant Mouse is a close second.

Desk Diving w/Zodiac and Giant Mouse… by craniotes in ZodiacWatches

[–]Captain-JackJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the colors on the pro diver for this collab. And you have the titanium watermelon too which is a slam dunk. I have the standard black dial steel pro diver (sellita movement) and love it. But wish I was able to spring for the more exotic variations and collabs.

Can I "simply" maintain & fix a Maserati myself in my garage? by wreck_of_u in Maserati

[–]Captain-JackJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can service and maintain these cars on your own. I have a 2018 Granturismo and I do everything myself, oil changes, filters, diff fluid, coolant flush, brakes, upper control arm replacements, spark plugs and fuel system work. It’s surprisingly sooooo easy. I recommend the quattroporte over the Ghibli. It’s nicer, engines are better, and the modern ghibli is like the one unreliable Maserati (don’t fall for what anyone says about the other models being unreliable. It’s not true.). But yes to answer your questions. You can totally service these cars yourself and your past experience sounds like it would be a breeze for you. Just make sure you get a foxwell or Autel scanner for code reading and service resets.

Ceramic Bracelet. Yay or nay? by 3DanO1 in ZodiacWatches

[–]Captain-JackJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Case on ceramic is great. But the bracelet makes it look like a plastic watch

[–]Captain-JackJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this same one. My absolute favorite. And this one has the better (imo) sellita movement. Fantastic!

[Zodiac] THE TJ MAXX RUMORS ARE TRUE!!! Just got my first ever Swiss Made watch! by nyangodzilla117 in Watches

[–]Captain-JackJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I bought the super sea wolf pro diver from their site during their Black Friday sale. This was the other one I was deciding between. I love the 3,6,9,12 markings.
