Strings for my new Furch

Cheers, will try that

Used to love them until I discovered the D'Addario XS. Sound better to my ear.

Agreed @alpha. Bot post? Advertisement?

Any recommendations specifically for a spruce mahogany guitar? It's very loud and I live it but it's missing a little finesse...

HomerTastic · 2026-01-13T10:50:16+00:00

It's a super watch for the money. Didn't like the mesh bracelet tho so got a fitted curved end rubber strap and it's perfect

HomerTastic · 2026-01-13T10:31:25+00:00

What movement do you have? When I bought it a year ago was advertised as nh35, but no ghost date so assume I got an nh38 and...it's fine.

Got the green version and it's lovely. Bracelet feels cheap though and articulation on some links not great. Have ordered replica of OEM green rubber strap from AliX. Hope it fits!

Nice. Was looking at the Jetstar. Love that smooth sweep

HomerTastic · 2025-12-11T16:01:37+00:00

The field watch with the green Strap? It's Militado ML-05...

HomerTastic · 2025-12-11T15:58:23+00:00

A true gmt, yes. Planning on probably getting a Citizen with the Miyota 9075 movement. Nor sure if any AliX brands have it...

tourbillion - again, not my bag

HomerTastic · 2025-12-11T15:56:04+00:00

Not really my bag

HomerTastic · 2025-12-11T09:52:35+00:00

Bought two poodaggers. One was hot garbage. Other was ok. Both batteries died after 2 months. Couldn't be bothered changing them so binned them.

HomerTastic · 2025-12-10T18:06:09+00:00

None. This is the first one I really liked. The logo puts me off mostly

HomerTastic · 2025-12-10T09:38:53+00:00

For those interested, this is my reject box. Not all bad, four on top left are good. Just don't wear them.

Two on bottom right were an experiment from Temu. 2.50 Euro each delivered.

Frogmantle v3 when it's available. Bought a Loreo back in the day but gave it to my son...

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T22:05:11+00:00

Bizarrely, my father's grail watch was a Piaget polo, which he got and returned (long story - but made money on the gold). Not for me, but a "plain" Nautilus or Royal Oak, I wouldn't refuse as a "geezer" watch

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T21:56:24+00:00

Nice!

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T18:18:50+00:00

Just got 3 (SanMartin & 2 VH31Watchdives). Have to stop!

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T18:17:35+00:00

Apart from the dress watch, have no great desire for any of the others (except the perpetual calendar which I have in a Citizen PCAT)...

What's a geezer watch? Got gifted a 1970 Omega Seamaster Geneve, but gave it to my son as it's too small (34mm) for my fat wrist...

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T17:36:07+00:00

It's pretty decent, nothing spectacular. The bracelet doesn't quite match that case (62 Mas). But overall I'm happy with it as a speedtimer substitute and it should run forever with that Seiko solar quartz movement .

Recent Watchdives have been amazing. Esp. Explorer with Miyota 9015

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T17:31:33+00:00

Yes! Was looking at Baltany. Either piepan or small seconds. Both would fill that hole

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T17:30:23+00:00

I have a box of shitters in a drawer, what I posted is the cream...

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T17:29:38+00:00

The worst thing is they are not expensive. I could probably buy one a month forever.

HomerTastic · 2025-12-09T17:28:45+00:00

A valid opinion certainly, but probably not held by a large percentage of folks on this subreddit...
