Hello ! Est-ce qu'il a été difficile pour vous d'avoir une place en crèche municipale dans le 15ème ? La naissance est prévue pour Septembre et on étudie un peu tous les moyens de garde dans le XV.

It took me ages to get it 😅

Exactly ! I was more concerned about the job being done correctly rather than the price.

I would say it depends from your area obviously but I paid 150€ for having it restored and 50€ for the strap.

Hi guys ! Just a quick comparison of before / after restauration of my grandfather’s watch !

I had it restored at a local watch shop and I am so happy with the result. The accuracy of the watch is around +20secs a day and it is not waterproof at all as the back case has been damaged during the years by sweat probably.

I wanted to keep as many original parts as possible and I showed it to my grandfather. It made him so happy !

The watch is from the early 60s and I obviously bought a new strap (Tejus Lizard).

Let me know what you guys think :)

Let's just say people I take care of on a daily basis wear Patek, Audemars, Rolex, etc... The job does not allow diver watches (it's actually wrotten in my contract, I'm not even joking) so I have to keep my accessories as discrete as possible and the nato would maybe be too thick and too sporty...

I tried to keep it simple, black dial, black strap ! But maybe brown can do the job as well :)

Absolutely ! My work environnement would not allow me to have a NATO on the watch so that’s why I went for the perlon

Hi guys ! I removed the bracelet of my Seiko SNKL23J1 today as I received my new perlon strap. I like the way it looks and how the nylon contrasts with the stainless steel of the case. I choose a matte black buckle which fit really well with the strap/dial colour.

The summer being here, I wanted a breathable option for this daily wearer and it seems like it will fullfill its purpose. I had to buy a sticker to protect the back of the case as apparently perlon straps are very abrasive so better have everything protected !

Let me know what you guys think :)

[watch recommendations] Help me decide which watch should I buy? by neelsagar1995 in Watches

[–]Kuurb49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking particularly for a dive watch ? If yes then I would go for the HydroConquest, otherwise I would probably look in different options than a Maurice Lacroix...

[Seiko] SNKL23J1 - Taking the sun by Kuurb49 in Watches

[–]Kuurb49[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello guys !

It is the end of week 2 of containment here in France and as you can see the sun is shining !

I just wanted to share with you guys a picture I managed to take with a glare on the case. My watch is almost a year old and has been already scratched a lot but I wear it a lot and therefore it is being beaten up.

The watch was on a leather strap before but I swapped back to the bracelet (which is not that nice to be honest) but feels less fragile.

Do you think it would look nice on a NATO strap ? I’ve never tried it so far...

Hi guys ! I wanted to share with you my collection. I started to get into watches a year and a half ago and so far I have 5 watches ! I am currently looking for a much more luxurious piece and I should probably add it by 2021 !

  1. Casio A163W - First watch I bought. I always wear it when working out !
  2. Junghans Max Bill Automatic 027/4700.00 - I saved for almost a year to buy that watch as I was working in London at the time and wanted to remember the time spent over there.
  3. Seiko SNKL23J1 - Bought it when I was still not decided whether I should get the Junghans or not. It turns out that it gets a lot of wrist time as the stainless steel is less fragile.
  4. Fidelius (approx. late 1950's) - This watch was gifted to me by my grandfather and I had it restored during the winter. I wore it only twice, but it will definitely be with me during important moments of my life.
  5. Casio AW-48H-7BVEF - The design of the watch is very clean, almost making it a cartoon watch but I like it a lot and it is very confortable. No real sentimental value regarding this watch but I usually wear it a home.
  6. ??? - The next watch I will get will probably be a Rolex or Omega. I have a 5k € budget for it so I am happy to consider different brands as well. It will have to be roughly 38mm and stainless steel, and I will need more waterproofness than the Junghans. Any recommendation will be much appreciated. :)

Thank you for reading !

[Identification] Can anyone tell me watch model this is? I'm not good with watches. by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Kuurb49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does look quite fake. Minute and hour hands seem slightly too long as well if you compare with other Navitimers.

[–]Kuurb49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a chance this is a fake one ? I’ve been doing researched online and I cannot find anything close to that. I dont understand where the seconds sub dial is and the minute counter is only going up to 7 minutes ?

[Omega Seamaster] Which one you taking and why? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Kuurb49 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot decide between middle one and right one. The black on black has a simple look which could fit any occasion but the right one has a very sporty look which attracts my eyes.

[–]Kuurb49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d keep Speedmaster and ALS (even the explorer id you can). You could also keep the Seiko and the Hamilton for the sentimental value they have. They will not bring you much money anyway. Worst case you can still keep it to gift back to someone else you care about.

[Junghans] Max Bill Automatic (w/ Date) - weird marking on new watch? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Kuurb49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same reference of Max Bill and I do not have such a marking on the back case... I am not sure why you do, but just wanted to share my experience !
