From what I've been told, it's a problem with most older day/date watches in general. Something to do with how the day/date wheels interact. And yes, it seriously can fuck up a day/date wheel. The watch may still work but the day/date may become nonfunctioning. In any case, I've been told the best way to set watches would be to first set the time to 6am or 6pm. Next set the day/date to the day before. Finally set the time, going forward 12 hours if needed.

Latest buy, Suunto Core All Black ABC Watch

Did you pick that up locally? Wanted to get one for work on Boxing Day from Sport Chek/Atmosphere, but none of the locations had that model anymore.

anyone know where i can get a reliable place to restore watches? Im just looking for someone who can buff out scuffs/scratches...minor cosmetics restoration.

I bought it pre-owned. The last time I've heard of someone finding the Core all black locally was at a Costco 2-3 years ago.

^ you can get it at MEC. that model in particular is another story.

I've had mine for over 10 yrs and took it diving in Trindad and Tobago so it's legit watch. I even took it in for service by sending it to Suunto. Legit over all.

Compass ain't the best and temp ain't going to be on par cause it's on ur wrist all the time.

I love that it's battery changing friendly.

Can anyone recommend a good watch repair shop in Surrey or Langley? Have a Nixon watch with a digital display that went wonkey after I took it into The Bay at Willowbrook Mall to have the battery replaced. (They would not take responsibility for it despite it being in perfect working condition since the battery was dead when I took it in and they did not see it themselves if it was working or not) The battery on the watch is already dead again despite having it replaced at The Bay a couple months ago. Also have a Fossil watch that needs battery replaced too.

Thanks!

I always tell people never to go to the Bay for anything watch related, no matter if its free or not. They have a high percentage of fucking shit up.

I trust those little asian shops in malls to change my batteries when needed.

But sorry to tell you it will be hard finding someone to service a Nixon watch.

Dammit rb, I was looking for that exact model too :okay:

White G-Shock

Panarei Luminor Marina PAM048 (Weekend Driver)
IWC Portuguese Chronograph (Garage Queen)
Moto 360 Gen 1 (Daily Driver)
Fitbit Charge Hr (Beater to Gym)

will watch winders found on ebay get the job done for an automatic that I only wanna wear on weekends? i don't care about the looks/build quality.

I know this doesn't answer your specific question I hope someone else gives you the answer you are looking for. I honestly don't think you need a watch winder. Just set the time when you need to wear it and go; You mentioned automatic so it will wind on your wrist. That way you know it's accurate. If you use a winder you will probably have to adjust the time for accuracy anyways. Unless you have a super accurate movement or a chronometer then I bow in shame (but then you would need a sick high end winder).

If i'm missing something i'd like to know too :)

side note, found me a nato strap at DSTactical. Pretty damn good quality fyi anyone interested
DS Tactical

Yup they'll do the trick. My first was a 60$ dual winder I got from Amazon. It was all plastic and the build quality seemed decent but the electic motor for the bottom watch eventually burnt out. I think mainly due because I had a Heavy 44mm Stainless Steel Chronograph on the bottom. But either way it lasted about 2 years then I just tossed in the garbage

I received this Ball Fireman Victory on a partial trade a couple weeks ago. Pretty nice watch something of a poor man's Rolex DateJust II very similar in style. I've worn it for a couple weeks but not really my cup of tea. I'll likely be selling it in the next few weeks if anyone is interested; it's in mint condition full box and papers even has one year warranty left watch is only 2 years old.

Well I've joined the club!

Congrats!!! I hope you didn't over pay like the one you showed me in whatsapp chat.

:badpokerface:

i have a panerai luminor marina as daily beater watch when i do wear my watch, cheap, so if i lose it not gonna cry over it

im always been a fan casio digi watchs ever since i was a kid and the fact every is wearing one these days, i kinda want G Shock

i looking for something that doesnt break the bank (some ppl spend more then 700 cnd for one), color easy to maintain

this will replace my beater watch

^ wears a panerai as a cheap daily. So much jellyness.

I've gotten into g shock lately too but I've only been spending less than $100 for all of the pieces I have.

Check out the rangeman. Master of G series, it's a big and have some wrist presence, will certainly remind you of your panerai. Starts at about $250 and goes up depending on color and function.

How much were you thinking of asking for it?

mines a super A and its cheap

What's in your G-Shock collection?

The Rangeman is quite pricey locally (Watch It!). I snagged 2 of it on eBay before the Canadian dollar tanked

Nice Hammy, looks a tad big on your wrist from that angle though.

Ya that auto only comes in 46 sadly. Probably could have been a tad smaller.

Obviously overcompensating :badpokerface:
