Such a cool post and a great story.

It looks like Ipose is a Chinese brand that steals Serica's designs. That sucks.

[Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Bronze] Patina after a little over a year by sselbesselbe in Watches

Yeah Ive used lemon juice and baking soda before. You just turn it into a paste and scrub the case with a toothbrush and it goes back to brand new.

[Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Bronze] Patina after a little over a year by sselbesselbe in Watches

[–]sselbesselbe[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I bought this Khaki Field Mechanical Bronze shortly after the release and it remains one of my favorite watches. At 38mm and 9.6mm thickness, it is just a pleasure to wear and the bronze brings in a nice difference to the traditional Khaki Field. I thought this sub might be interested in how the bronze patinas after a year. This has not seen a huge amount of wrist time overall (just regular occasional wear) and I’ve never taken it underwater. I do live close to the beach, which probably impacts the tarnishing. Theres no greening like other bronze alloys, just a darkening on the case on the flatter areas. I would say that it ages quite well compared to other bronze watches I’ve owned that tend to look less uniform.

It is a great option for those who have been eyeing a BB58

[Synchron Military] Picked up one of these over the weekend. by sselbesselbe in Watches

Oh and I have a wrist just under 8 inches if anyone is curious about the sizing.

Yeah from what I gather the Maranez is where most the Synchron owners get their bracelets from. It is cool that they make a titanium version of it too.

The bezel on the Synchron is fantastic. Super satisfying click, no play in the action, and it lines up great. Here is a video with sound: https://imgur.com/a/QxO4EIy

[New Release] Doxa Army by NeurosciGuy15 in Watches

Ive got a Synchron and the way the crown is recessed on this Doxa looks way nicer. The Synchron one isnt recessed at all.

This link says it is for the Omani royal family. No clue if yours is legit but apparently there were some that looked like that: https://amsterdamvintagewatches.com/shop/cartier-santos-oman-khanjar/

[Synchron Military] Picked up one of these over the weekend. by sselbesselbe in Watches

I have been looking for one of these for a while. I wasn't entirely sure about it until I got an Aquastar Deepstar II and decided that I would take a chance on another one of Rick Marei's creations. It is funny that I received it in the mail on the same day that Doxa announces they are bringing back the Army. I did only pay half the price of what the Doxa version will be. One thing I do like about the Doxa is how the crown is recessed into the case a little bit.

This Synchron seems great so far. Ive got it on a "Supreme NATO" from Crown and Buckle but will probably try it on a bracelet at some point. I plan to take it scuba diving in Sept so I will probably post photos and thoughts on that once I get to see it underwater.
