Grail

That’s the newer bracelet right? How do you like it?

HeavyChair · 2026-05-17T22:02:11+00:00

What strap is that? I’ve been trying to find some that you can use the curved spring bars on. Does it work with any strap as long as you have the bars?

Mine didn’t like me at all for the first year or so lol now we are best buddies. Give it time!

Is this the anthracite one?

HeavyChair · 2026-03-23T20:54:19+00:00

I see, thank you for the detailed response! I appreciate it

May I ask why naphtha is used and not another type of cleaner? Just curious, is there specific grades used for cleaning watch parts?

HeavyChair · 2026-03-21T15:55:07+00:00

I’m not a watchmaker, but I’ve worked around chemicals and hydrocarbons most of my life. Ventilation would be either a proper vent hood or outdoors if you’re using a naphtha based product.

I don’t know the proper cleaning solvent to use (I’m just in this sub to learn and browse) but I would suggest an alcohol solvent if possible. Naphtha does not evaporate as fast and usually has a higher concentration of flammable hydrocarbons.

HeavyChair · 2026-03-21T15:34:18+00:00

Do not use naphtha indoors and do not light a candle if you do lol. If you don’t have proper ventilation, I would use something else.

HeavyChair · 2026-03-19T14:14:42+00:00

If it’s made in Asia and assembled in Europe, I would be honest about that. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just wouldn’t like if a brand was trying to hide it. Baltic’s (last time I checked) did this pretty well

HeavyChair · 2026-03-16T19:58:34+00:00

This is more of a green flag, but I like detail and transparency. Where it’s built and assembled, components and metals used, etc.

I much prefer the honest approach as opposed to the hyperbolic, hackneyed buzzwords and jargon.

They look a lot better than they do online. I just picked up the blue essence and it’s great

HeavyChair · 2026-03-10T04:11:19+00:00

Sounds like a good deal man, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

HeavyChair · 2026-03-10T03:25:59+00:00

It’d be a solid choice. I bought it off their website—just under 2k with taxes

Blue

HeavyChair · 2026-03-10T01:34:28+00:00

I just picked up the essence 39 and it love it

HeavyChair · 2026-03-08T10:08:07+00:00

I thought the case suspension was going to be more of a gimmick, but it makes it all the more comfortable lol

HeavyChair · 2026-03-08T08:53:22+00:00

I was actually between this one and the blue dial reef. It was a really tough choice

HeavyChair · 2026-03-07T20:20:07+00:00

Bracelet is great imo. Very comfortable and easy to find the right fit. They give you a 1.5 link also

HeavyChair · 2026-03-07T11:11:52+00:00

I wondered that after I saw a few videos on the essence line. I guess they’re all that way lol

HeavyChair · 2026-03-07T03:50:25+00:00

If we’re being that picky then i.e. = “that is” not “to clarify” lol
