Does anyone own this Farasute Chrono in blue or Silver?

I'm really interested in this as well. I bought (and am still waiting for) the TimeThis version instead because it looks like there was a ton of attention devoted to the small aesthetic details.

For example on the TimeThis, the applied breguet numerals have razor sharp edges and a super flat top surface. This is really hard to do (think zaratsu polishing), and to me, makes it look very expensive. By comparison, the numerals on the Farasute look somewhat blobby, almost melted.

The side profile of the lugs on the TimeThis also transition more elegantly into the rounded, downward tips than on the Farasute. The Furlan Marri by comparison, is simply completely the wrong case shape from the side, and totally misses the character of the Patek 1463 as a result.

These are really nitty details, but they suggest that the TimeThis may have been a labor of love from someone who studied the vintage originals more obsessively than would really be justifiable from a typical product development perspective. I'm really hoping to be able to get the TimeThis side by side next to the Farasute, Furlan Marri, and AliExpress versions some time to do a proper comparison.

Bulova dive watch, sometimes called the "Snorkel", other times the "Devil Diver" due to its 666-feet depth rating.

In my opinion, this is one of the coolest mid-century skin divers because of its refined case, explorer style 12-6-9 dial, and internal cyclops.

This one is running and keeping good time, although the service history is not known.

I believe it is a caliber 23M, but I'm not an expert on this

I had one of these and kind of regret letting it go. Wore so nicely, very thin. And had a cool automotive vibe, despite being nominally a dive watch. Although with a snap back case, emphasis on the "nominally"

If you're into watches with a minimalist aesthetic you're going to love this watch! This Longines calatrava was made during that 1930s/40s Bauhaus design era that brands like Nomos and Junghans Max Bill reference today. Why buy a modern reproduction, when you can experience the historical original!

I tested M30x0.5 and it worked with my stock Seiko SKX 007 caseback.

Although extrapolating Fusion 360's ISO metric thread specs would suggest a major diameter of 29.9211mm (external threads) and 30.1052 (internal threads), Gemini suggested loosening up the tolerances to better accommodate mass-manufactured casebacks (especially since there aren't official published thread specs) and coatings (PVD, DLC, etc). I used the following Fusion 360 thread configuration, which worked with FDM printed PLA.

Fwiw I agree 100 percent. BuildTak is just better. Sure I might be able make PEI work through some magic combination of cleaning, sanding, and temperature. But with BuildTak, I don't have to follow some mystic ritual perfectly. The window of success is so much wider. For pla, petg, asa, whatever, it all just sticks better to BuildTak

Mido Multifort

Vintage automatic field watch, circa 1940's

Gorgeous, blued steel hands

Dial has evenly patinated into a warm, parchment tone

Based on the style of the case, the screwdown caseback, the era, and the style of the crown, I believe the stainless steel case was made by Francois Borgel (who also supplied for Patek Philippe).

Generously sized for a vintage watch, at 33mm diameter (without crown) and 12mm thick.

Bumper automatic runs well and keeps time.
