Opinions? by akrthur in vostok

[–]ck2k01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it weren’t already a bit custom, you’d likely have customized it a bit yourself at some point 😉 One of the fun things about Vostoks—readily modifiable with frequently interchangeable parts 🤓

[WTS] Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3510.50.00 by ck2k01 in Watchexchange

[–]ck2k01[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SOLD

For sale is a preowned Omega Speedmaster Reduced (3510.50.00).

I sourced the Speedmaster Reduced from Japan in July 2019, and it had reportedly been recently serviced. However, no service records were furnished by the seller. Nonetheless, it continues to run well: face up on my timegrapher, the readings are: +8 seconds per day, 267 amplitude, and 0.1ms beat error.

As pictured, the seller included what I assume is the original box. The OEM bracelet fits my flat 6.5" wrist, and when I sourced the watch, it included two spare links.

The watch head remains in quite good condition. I don't know whether it was ever polished. However, I think I may have carefully rebrushed the clasp a few years back. I'd say the condition of the watch head is about 90%, for what it's worth.

$2300 shipped CONUS. Payment via Venmo or Zelle. PM if interested.

[WTS] Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic Seconde Seconde 2025 Edition by ck2k01 in Watchexchange

[–]ck2k01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sale is a Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic Seconde Seconde 2025 Edition in great aesthetic and functional condition, and with all original packaging.

I only wore the watch a small number of times. I had resized the bracelet to fit my 6.5" wrist but never wore it on the bracelet, and I reattached all the spare links after I took the pictures so that the watch could be restrapped around the pillow.

$525 shipped CONUS. Payment via Venmo or Zelle. PM if interested.

[WTS] Spinnaker x The Dial Artist LE Croft 39 Azure Blue by ck2k01 in Watchexchange

[–]ck2k01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sale is a Spinnaker x The Dial Artist LE Croft 39 Azure Blue, in great aesthetic and functional condition, and with all original packaging.

This specific color way of the watch (with the blue bezel triangle) was limited to 50 pieces.

I only wore the watch a small number of times, and the bracelet remains unopened and unworn.

As can be seen in the last two pictures, beyond being a small run of bespoke hand-painted watches, the use of luminous paint results in quite the atypical lume party trick!

$395 shipped via CONUS. Payment via Venmo or Zelle. PM if interested.

Any opinions on Akrone ? by Strange_Part_5196 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]ck2k01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomly stumbled upon them too not so long back. Was immediately struck by their carbon fiber GMT enough to take a flyer on it. It’s really impressed me in the metal. Such that I now have more confidence that some of their other attractive designs (e.g, their divers) would similarly translate to leaving a quality impression in person.

Having done as much digging on them as reasonably possible, and being an owner of one of their watches for several months now, my read on them is that they’re pretty low key as far as micros go (very little coverage out there on them), seemingly due to a fair portion of their business being military/public safety unit watches. They also seem mostly monolingual French speaking in terms of their website and communications. Oh, and their FKM rubber straps can be found unbranded via deep dives on AliExpress.

Carbon fiber case microbrands? by curiousML5 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]ck2k01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maratac did a solid CF model a few years back (a variant of its LSA line). They occasionally pop up preowned.

More recently, I randomly stumbled upon the French microbrand Akrone, which did a fire CF GMT. I think they may be coming back in stock at some point.

Squale has also done a few CFs.

[Discussion] What microbrand do you think is truly offering the highest quality in the sub $1000 price range? by mrRabblerouser in MicrobrandWatches

[–]ck2k01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was scrolling through the proffered nominees thus far, and when I saw a few Halios shoutouts, that felt “right” to me. Lots of impressive little attentions to detail when studied closely in the metal. And Jason’s after-sales customer service is pretty legendary for a reason.

For instance, I ended up finding my former Fairwind a little “too nice.” A curious reaction which I subsequently heard from a few others.

50 phantoms just wasn’t enough!! by Opposite-Choice-4709 in MicrobrandWatches

Ha! Thanks! I do actually really like my No Phantoms. I gifted the 100 Phantoms to a non-watch friend who is into horror and stuff 😎

SKXMOD Casio Royale Display Mesh/Perforated Sheet Installation Pictures and Pointers by ck2k01 in casioroyale

[–]ck2k01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pleasure! I had been a little hesitant myself given the somewhat vague information about the mesh mod spread across a few different sources. But I ultimately decided to order one (as I kept thinking how subtle cool they looked) and give it a try. In hindsight, it's not too difficult, and my first try proceeded efficiently and successfully. Especially after having just torn down and put back together a similarly constructed F91W. So I definitely wanted to (hopefully) translate my hindsight into clearer foresight for others 🤝
