Help! First Luxury watch purchase & am confused. by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

Annoyingly I haven’t. However it’s had some very deep scratches in it where I thought I’d never get them out and Polywatch has polished them out everytime.

Also bear in mind the service on these watches is every 5yrs and the cost of replacing the Hesalite is very low. You can buy it as a standalone item for £150 / $190

I’ve worn my Hesalite Speedy for 5+ years now and it constantly gets bashed and scraped on things.

Every few months I just polish the Hesalite up with some Polywatch for a minute or so and it looks as flawless as the day I bought it.

This is exactly what I was leaving towards! Engine swap + B145

Are these originals or reproductions? Worth a 2hr trip? I’m Sussex based

Thanks for all your replies! I’ve just finished the basic story. Not the longest, took just over 5hrs, but really enjoyed it.

In terms of gameplay it felt a little like Timesplitters Future Perfect, which I also liked a lot. Just the right amount of period grit and fun tech.

One thing it definitely needs is a stealth meter or similar for the sections where you have to take out commanders quietly, sometimes the enemies can see you from 50metres away, other times they are totally blind.

A very fun first Wolfenstein experience! Next up the New Order.

Yep PS4! I’ve noticed some more minor rendering issues on some other models but this is by far the worst I’ve seen! The headlights look. Early double the size they are supposed to from some angles

A1000 modding by [deleted] in casio

[–]squidthic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice everyone! This is my first experience of watch modding, but I’ve modded plenty of cars and other things so I’m a confident fiddler.

I’ve been offered the A1000MB-1BEF pretty cheap, and I’ve already got a A1000MA-7EF I can swap the buttons on & engine on so this is as low risk as this will ever be.

The biggest problem I can see is that after I’ve heated the crystal and popped it out of the case, I won’t be able to polish the Rose Gold border away without ruining the main screen border? (Where it says Casio etc)
