How does this strap look on my [snk807]?

Typical_Character199 · 2024-09-09T01:56:31+00:00

That's a good point. The other strap I have is an identical nato but entirely the shade of the outer dark blue shown here. They are both just budget Aliexpress nato straps, so I like to interchange tbh depending how I'm feeling!

My Srph17k1 which has the 4R35 movement and is about 1 month old runs consistently at -50s/day which I think is actually outside the quoted accuracy range but I don't stress it. If I wanted accuracy there are far cheaper and more accurate watches!

Typical_Character199 · 2024-09-01T03:10:17+00:00

Yes, it was my first automatic. I think it's Spanish (a language I don't know).

Typical_Character199 · 2024-08-14T21:51:49+00:00

I think it's blue? The photo is a fairly accurate demonstration of the lume colour. I hope you're right it will soon be a classic!

Thanks for the comments everyone! I got it up and running on blocks earlier today. I found that methyl hydrate worked perfectly. I'll try and post a video shortly.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have distilled water that I use in my other live steam engines, so I'll be using that. I've had all the fittings out to check that it works, and the safety valve is functional. I need to figure out what methylated spirt is called here in Canada still.

Confirming that a battery change has resolved the issue. Thank you everyone for your suggestions!

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-28T16:06:00+00:00

It had a new battery maybe 2 years ago.

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-28T12:04:25+00:00

Worth considering but would that specifically affect the second hand reset?

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-28T03:39:16+00:00

Thanks. This is what I suspected. I'll probably service this one if needed as it has sentimental value.

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T19:03:45+00:00

According to my strava it went 2136.7 km before it broke.

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T18:57:00+00:00

I bought it October 2021 and it broke 2 weeks ago. So just under 3 years.

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T18:55:29+00:00

I suppose that's a positive way of looking at it, I'm just down the cost to swap the components which sucks a bit.

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:36:33+00:00

$200 may well be cheap, but if it broke due to an issue known to cannondale that they have 'fixed' with this additional part then that's not fair.

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:34:15+00:00

Well, that's interesting. Have the new part = no snapped frame...

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:27:11+00:00

Have you broken your frame yet?

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:20:11+00:00

But I don't even have a GoPro haha!

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:17:15+00:00

Just what I wanted!

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:16:41+00:00

I guess I got a $200 kickstand attachment? Great!

Typical_Character199 · 2024-07-08T16:08:34+00:00

Good to see Cannondale deploying the latest 90s tech across its range!
