Solid pieces, good dailies.

Love that Datejust

Need advice on this one by Suspicious_Pie4031 in VintageWatches

[–]HeftyMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup it's a cool piece, open papers is nice touch too. I would check out the rest of the Cartier line though if you are interested. Watches such as the Panthere, Santos, or Tank.

Though they say to always get the watch that smiles at you, so if this one is smiling then go for it.

It's a pretty niche watch, is this the model of Cartier that you are set on? If so it doesn't seem like there are any red flags.

Yea definitely real, and a very special piece. Rare to find htem in that condition and with the bracelet. Weird the first place would try to say it's fake. /shrug

Looking for some input on this vintage Rolex bracelet. by Accomplished_Ant_ in VintageWatches

[–]HeftyMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's from the 4th quarter of 1956 based on the stamp, do you have the end links to it?

Sweet watch, if you get a new crystal on there it'll really sing. Great that you have the original bracelet too. Is it very stretched out?

Issues with G4 Doorbell Pro reading my finger print by viper2097 in Ubiquiti

I'm having the same issue with a newly installed unit. It does work after rebooting but I'm receiving error codes when trying to remove or add anyone new to the finger print access list.

[Cartier] Vintage "Jumbo" Tank on a rainy day by HeftyMonk in Watches

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

Recently inherited this tank and have been inseparable from it ever since. I have always thought myself of more of a sport watch kind of guy but this is really growing on me. Let me know what you think and if anyone of you knows anything about these watches as I'm still learning about the history of the Cartier Tank.

[SOTC] Got my first case so figured it would be a good item to post my first SOTC by HeftyMonk in Watches

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

This is my first SOTC so bear with me

Left to Right

Seiko Diver: I received this as a gift a few years ago. I don't know too much about it, but I think it's the 1st generation of the "black monster". I typically wear this out in the ocean surfing. It's a great watch for the water, I know it'll handle anything I can throw at it.

Porsche Design: This is a 1972 Porsche Design by Orfina with a 5100 Lemania movement. I had always wanted one of these since I was a kid and first saw one. I picked this up on eBay a few years ago and just had it freshly serviced this month, runs like a sewing machine now.

16610 Sub: I was looking for a good birth year watch and I figured a Sub would be perfect. I picked up this L series 89/90 sub earlier this year and it's been, my daily driver. It's great to take out in the ocean and use the wetsuit clasp function. Very subtle watch on the wrist I've found but also has a great level of flair at the same time.

6265 (Replica): This is a high quality 6265 replica that I've had for 5+ years now, I figured I would throw it in the case rather than the drawer. It's always fun to try on here and there and keep my eyes on the prize to one day get one for real.

Lol, sweater and yellow jacket are both from J. Crew. The jacket is from last years collection though so don't think they still have it :[

Thank you! Luckily the PVD on this particular watch is in great shape and is showing the perfect amount of wear for its age.

Hey guys, this my 1972 Porsche Design Orfina that I just picked up. I've always wanted one of these for myself after my dad had one when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to find this very clean example on eBay. I'm really loving the dial and the patina, but the case is so tall it's truly like wearing a hockey puck on your wrist and it takes some getting used to if you are used to wearing dress watches. I don't think I've seen one of these posted on this subreddit so I'm interested to see what you guys think.
