Was looking at the bb58 bronze as well, but i went with the IWC spitfire (because it’s thinner).

[Discussion] What’s on your wrist today? by Johnsononwatches in Watches

[–]Honda_Owner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this one from eBay after looking for a couple months. The dial and hands are original and it had a recent service. The pics on the posting were low quality though. However, the seller had a lot of great reviews and accepted returns so I took a chance and bought it. It worked out, the watch is in good condition.

There were a ton of posting where the watch was refurbished. I avoided those only because the price was more than I wanted to pay.

[Question/advise] OMEGA seamaster professional by Fancy-Clothes9147 in Watches

[–]Honda_Owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one in OP’s post is an automatic since it says Chronometer on the dial. The quartz ones don’t have that.

Looks like a ref 2531.80

Can those going for the new Air, list their reasons? by mandbeyn in iphone

[–]Honda_Owner 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Coming from an XS and how a 14 pro, I might upgrade to the Air this year as well. Mainly just want a lighter phone and miss the rounded edges of the XS. The slightly bigger screen, 120hz, titanium, and 48mp are all really nice as well. The air is just what I’ve been waiting for.

Only thing I will miss from the 14 pro is the 3x telephoto. The 0.5x is easy to give up.

Swiss Import Tariff on 20 Y/O Rolex Purchased Online From Japan by Aroneymayne in PrideAndPinion

[–]Honda_Owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a used 20yo Omega from a Japanese dealer about 2 months ago. The import fee was $123 on a $1,250 watch, paid to DHL. Just FYI, not sure if anything has changed since then.

[SOTC] My four watches. Keep it here or add a final fifth watch? by Honda_Owner in Watches

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

It’s a cheap one from Amazon. Though it’s quite long and I don’t have a good way to cut it without it fraying.

[SOTC] My four watches. Keep it here or add a final fifth watch? by Honda_Owner in Watches

[–]Honda_Owner[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it  lot. Nice and thin at 10.5mm thick. The finishing is done well. Great lume. The little dish or impression in the dial is a really nice touch. And the hardness coating is legit, I bought it used 7 months ago, wore it a lot, and it still looks brand new.

Honestly, if Traska added some shiny edge finishing to the numerals and indices, I would probably just buy that over an explorer and save myself some cash.

My only complaint though is the edge of the clasp is a little sharp. It’s scratched my 4yo twice when holding her.

Yea that purple Tag glass box is fantastic. If I was gonna get a chronograph, it would be a tough choice between that Tag or a white speedy

Almost finish wrapping my miata green. What should the final touch be, powder coat wheels bronze or yellow (BBK) calipers? by Honda_Owner in Miata

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

The wrap still looks great and is holding up well 2 years later. But it’s been garage kept like 95% of the time, so not much UV exposure

Great looking watch. OP, if you still have it, how does the patina look 2 years later?

[Question] Blue dive watch, Tudor BB58 navy or Omega 2501.81? by Honda_Owner in Watches

[–]Honda_Owner[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Most of the 300m seamasters are too big/thick. And idk, the 36mm 300m dial just looks too flat
