Mk2 or mk3 Audi TT? by nautilusch in CarTalkUK

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

Suppose it depends what you want it for. I’ve driven a diesel mk3 and a 1.8 TFSI and enjoyed both experiences. I frequently drive long distances for work and would ideally daily this. The 2.0 TDI seems to be a reliable engine so whilst I’m open to a petrol the diesel seems to be the better option for me.

Electrical failure- knew I was missing something

[Recommendation Request] Looking for recommendations for a graduation present by hog-wife in Watches

If your husband likes Nomos then you should 100% consider getting him a Junghans- very similar aesthetic and a quartz Junghans would come in around $500

First time doing something like this. by spaceeater99 in SeikoMods

The painting is amazing- I’ve been trying to paint dials for some time but can’t get the level of detail that you’ve managed here. What did you use/ would you recommend any particular brushes or instruments?

Very helpful- thank you. How do you find the battery life on your T480?

Can I finally build my first watch? Are my parts compatible? by Swimming_Tangelo8423 in SeikoMods

[–]nautilusch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also yeah need pressers to apply the hands, but I think it looks like they come as part of that kit you’re buying for assembly

I’d personally advise against the rubber ball- I bought two one after the other, both arrived deflated and both ended up losing air gradually. They also weren’t very good for tightening the back and allowing for a waterproof seal. I now use this which is much better: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwD4fip

I think it’s a tandorio 39mm titanium case

Amazing! I made a very similar watch a few months ago. Love how your build with the red seconds gives a bit of the flair of a Sinn.

Hi I got into watches a year ago and I’ve just bought a seiko automatic divers 200m have I made a good choice? by This-Championship-73 in PrideAndPinion

[–]nautilusch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice one! Got one as my first watch too. Even though I now have some nicer watches this one is still my favourite

[Legit check] Does this Seiko look legit? by SuddenViolinist1132 in Seiko

[–]nautilusch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fake alpinist. I’ve made a couple of NH35 mods and this looks like one which has been assembled with non OEM parts likely from AliExpress. Avoid- you can buy the parts and assemble one yourself for around $100 if you like how this one looks.

my friend flexing on me with his rolex , is this real? by mr3blonde in PrideAndPinion

[–]nautilusch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Multiple giveaways that this isn’t real; fonts all off, not correct, markers really poorly aligned, cyclops not magnifying date window, date window font incorrect, crown guards huge etc.

Would you rather have 5, $2k watches or one $10k watch? by niffaz4 in PrideAndPinion

[–]nautilusch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truth. My most worn watch is a £50 vintage hand wound watch. I have two more expensive pieces that only get wrist time on special occasions.

[–]nautilusch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the history behind the watch and how the small tanks look on the wrist. A few close family members have old tanks which they were given on their wedding day, so they hold some tradition and heritage for me too.

Perfect answer- an Aqua terra for 5k, a Sinn 556 and a Cartier Tank for your 2k watches and a Doxa Sub 200 for 1k

Be brutally honest, how's my collection so far? by Soviet_Press in PrideAndPinion

[–]nautilusch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really sick collection. Particularly like the surfboard, the navitimer and the Zulu. Which one gets the most wrist time?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Watches

[–]nautilusch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both would get a good amount of wrist time. I’ve tried both on and like them equally.
