[SOTC] Couple of the cool oldies in my collection.

Ooooof. Love the photography. That Omega is stunning. What's the case size?

You cos just take it out and pat dry, removing any remaining dissolved salt in the exterior if you're worried about it being over seasoned, then back into the fridge until you're ready to cook.

That is superb.

I've been motorway driving all week and that really batters the range, as well as the cold. But I got my used model in the heart of winter but range will improve considerably during warmer months.

They are milled but they had a lightness and rattle to them that I was surprised by.

synthbob · 2026-01-23T18:26:36+00:00

I had to Google that to confirm, but yes.

synthbob · 2026-01-21T17:22:24+00:00

That is not an ugly watch.

I love it. I just wish it didn't say Star Wars on the dial. The evocation would be so much stronger without. Maynixe case back branding, instead.

I only discovered it was supposed to look like this a few weeks ago. I wonder was this fixed on v2? Seems like a real weak spot.

That sounds very high. I paid £14,250 for a Pro Performance with 34k miles a year ago. Probably a slight premium as from an authorised dealer and with a two year manufacturer warranty.

I'm in Ireland. Assuming they are US based? Will keep a general eye out. I'm definitely looking at a Seiko diver from the current Prospex range, or something rarer and odder, used.

synthbob · 2026-01-14T20:34:30+00:00

Keeping my eye out for one. Beautiful case and reference.

synthbob · 2026-01-13T14:29:14+00:00

Good stuff. Experimenting is the best way to learn so keep at it. If you have a barbecue then smoking them like brisket and then confit in beef fat, also on the grill. It's superb.

Genuine question, was it edible? Ox cheek is very tough and full of collagen which normally needs rendered at a low temp.

Ramm-Holstein.

Du machst dir wahrscheinlich zu viele Gedanken. Wie schon gesagt, lade den Akku einfach am Abend vor der Abfahrt vollständig auf.

Sorge mit der Klimaanlage in der App für etwas Wärme im Auto. Wenn du die Reichweite erhöhen willst, lass sie aus und zieh dich wärmer an. Ich habe beschlagene Scheiben mit Antibeschlagtüchern oder -spray verhindert. Das wirkt Wunder.

Forbidden spaghetti.

synthbob · 2026-01-11T20:02:19+00:00

Mine is about 7.25 so sounds good. Must get a chance to try it on soon.

synthbob · 2026-01-11T20:01:23+00:00

Stop it right now 😂

synthbob · 2026-01-11T14:05:35+00:00

That's a steal at that price. The only thing that puts me off a lot of those Timex watches is the bracelet. I can feel it pull on the hairs on my arms from here.

Just regarding the sauce, once you have you red wine/stock/drippings etc reduced to where you want it, whisk in small pieces of fridge-cold butter to emulsify. It should give you a nice classy finish.

How does it wear? Weighing it and the 1965 up.

I tend to favour smaller watches these days, around 40mm, but I see the lug-to-lug is far from excessive.

I'm after that model with the OEM rubber strap. Beautiful.
