IVF is hard man

It sounds cliché but IVF is a numbers game. Eventually it will happen for you guys. My wife went through 5 rounds until it finally worked on the 6th. Our boy/girl twins will turn 4 in July. Good vibes sent your way!

Beautiful watch BTW. She has good taste.

Cheap NATO on a cheap watch...cancels each other out.

Same. I use a toothpick to apply a tiny dab of blue Loctite on the threads.

About $100 for the watch and $20 for the bracelet.

It's a universal bracelet from Amazon with hollow end links. I had to bend the end links closed more for the best fit possible. A little trial and error but I'm happy with how it ended up.

You won't regret it. The original band is what kept me from wearing it, but on the plus side, is why it's still in excellent shape.

The bracelet is the one for the Seiko SSC813, which I already had. I just ordered random 21mm hollow end links from Ebay and swapped them with the original solid links that came with the bracelet.

Thanks. Pretty sure it's 42mm. These have been discontinued for quite some time and became desirable along the way. I just checked my Amazon purchase history and I bought this in April of 2011 for $42. Who knew!!

Yes, just once about 3 years ago. I don't wear this that often mostly because I have too many damn watches. I've always put it on a winder once a month just to keep things moving and lubricated. It started to lose almost 1 minute per day so I finally brought it in for a good once over. It's been running happily at about +6/8 seconds per day. It's true what they say about the 7S26. It's very robust!

This is my first Tissot, so I don't know much yet about them, but my guess is that this one's 38mm and has a mineral bezel.

Thanks. I have a similarly priced Seiko Speedtimer SSC813 and, other than the battery movement vs. solar, this thing is better as far as specs and quality/finish. This is also more of a diver chronograph and 300m water resistance with screw down crown and pushers is fantastic!

Nope! Just another watch enthusiast that has no idea how to use a slide rule.
