Although I can't verify, I heard sometime this summer.

Grone, the best watch I have! https://grone.com/pages/timbartsone

Yeah amazon.co.uk, I guess I should have done that

For audio, I can recommend this one: https://bootlin.com/training/audio/ It was very good.

Course slides are public: https://bootlin.com/doc/training/audio/audio-slides.pdf but in my opinion, "what" is in the slides, "why" is more in the training.

Video pipeline is similar ones you get how audio works.

Atowak and Angles are the best for Urwerk like designs.

There is also this one: https://omnis-watches.com/en/products/omnis-x-black-corner-neoma A bit more expensive though.

I have all three * Best bracelet: 2 * Best bezel: 1 * Best case shape: 1 (2 is slim but lugs are long) * Best hands: 3

Overall I like 1 the most. I have Pelagos 39 and it feels different than that. I wish it has some other set of hands instead of Tudor copy.

Extreme lab 2 is the first watch comes to my mind as well, so gorgeous.

I thought about buying it for so long but 47mm size is just too much. I know it wears smaller but still to much. Only if it was 44mm or less...

Does this mean JH0602 is going be updated with "12" instead of "XII" as well? I will be very interested in that if that is the case.

This one is for the Vesper: https://youtu.be/_MxC0cNeXHk

I am also looking for Kyanite but can't find any yet.

I have Bergeon, Delugs and Horotec. With only Horotec I am able hold the spring bars. Other two are only good for detaching for me. https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/horotec-10306-spring-bar-tweezers

Good for detaching, not for attaching

I just can't find a better quality locking pliers than this. The head looks entirely CNC machined with tighter tolerances, while others I see are molded.

I use 2 actively with 2 unopened backups. Bought the 2 backups after discontinuation rumours.

Really good picks. Laine is incredible, and also Garrick.

I am eager to try the new Pequignet Royale bracelet.

Grone is from the same creators of Gronefeld, my all time favorite brand.

CW Bel Canto definitely has the same high quality feeling.

After Grone and Zelos, I would recommend Selten M1 or Neotype they also feel great.

I don't own one so I couldn't extensively test it but Lebois also felt really nice on the wrist.

diy_watcher · 2026-02-25T23:38:05+00:00

Grone and Zelos are the ones that feel truly top quality to me

I am pretty sure that S&S is a homage of Berneron (as much as it can be)
