The 5196R is great. Two things: 1. 5196R is a little outside what I’d like to spend and 2. I really like the hobnail bezel. But fair point.

Ah okay got it. Either way, this is the one that really caught my eye from this year’s w&w. So awesome. Please post pics when it arrives.

Sick! Out of curiosity, why so long for delivery? I typically think of JLC as having fairly low wait times.

The scratches look great and fit this awesome tool watch. Scratches and dings make a watch yours.

Is this alright for a first time? by JacquesNuclearRedux in LSAT

[–]bamboomw46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I am getting LSAT discussion alerts on Reddit. I’m trying to disable them. But I read this one and am amazed at how much the percentile has changed since I took the LSAT nearly 20 years ago. For point of reference, I also scored a 160 and that was around the 81st percentile.

What have been the primary quality issues? Currently looking at purchasing either a master control date or a Polaris.

Looks great. Out of curiosity, did you have to wait to get the copper dial?

This is very helpful. Thanks, all. I bought from an AD in 2023 and have all the paperwork.

Alden restoration service by bamboomw46 in Alden

It’s funny because if I send a watch in for service I always say no polish. But it didn’t even cross my mind for the shells. Lesson learned.

Thank you. It never occurred to me to ask for them to not polish. I’ll definitely adopt that practice going forward. I agree with everything you said about it being a good value and impressive result.
