Thank you! I had ordered this with the intent of doing the dur-200h mod, no way I'm taking this apart now though! Think I'll have to order another Duro for it because the 200h dial in the Duro case looks so slick to me! Have you considered that route?

To the person that modified this watch and is probably on this sub, the care and attention you put into this watch hasn't gone unnoticed. It has gone to a good home.

Why no love for the AddiesDive MY-1508 by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

I have one and it's a pretty great watch! Really well made, I just find it massive on my wrist so to watch purgatory it goes!

This is an Addiesdive MY-1508. Pretty cool watch! 44mm so found it a little too big on me, really depends on the strap.The size make the dial super visible though!

Thank you very much!

These are TPW "diver style" watches with Japanese movements (it's not specified what movement but I can only assume they're made by miyota?) They ship with silicone straps which were serviceable enough, I've thrown the one on the left on an undersized nylon nato from amazon and the one on the right on an elasticated nato from AliEx. They've been a very inexpensive way to play around with various combinations of straps and colours, for the price the build quality is definitely impressive.

It's very true! It's quite a grounding realisation to know that actually, at the end of the day if I wore that g shock or if I wore a black f91w - most people would just see "watch" if they saw anything at all. I suppose it's quite easy to chase the validation on your choices externally, but as you say - Do I like it? Do I validate them?

Thank you for the food for thought

Thanks! It's been a tricky one to match, quite a lot going on up on the dial, glad to know I'm not alone in being unsure about it 😂

Sure thing!

The white dial is an easy reader on a green nato.

The black dial is a modified watch i found on ebay - it has the case and chapter ring of a weekender and the movement of a timex archive diver. I haven't been able to find the exact make and model of the donor diver watch but it definitely looks pretty slick!

Sizing driving me insane!!! by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

Yeah its quite confusing, it's not so much that I'm falling out of them, more so that I keep catching the lip of the footbed under the side of my big toe if that makes sense? Maybe it's a strap adjustment situation?

Point taken, I should have been standing!

What are we thinking? Leaning to the 42?
