  1. While I have a smart watch that I use as a wallet and cellphone. The fitness tracker and sleep stuff i never got into. I didn't see it as actionable data. 

     

    Been waring my 300m all week, at the pool now. My planet ocean had duty last week in Baja.

  2. At Cabo San Lucas. Picture is of lands end, the name is literal. That is where the Baja peninsula ends and the sea of Cortez meets the pacific ocean.

    Getting away from those areas is a must though. The other best thing besides the ocean. El pastor.

  3. -sigh- I used to be able to dress well. Then I had kids, they are dirty beasts who insist on crawling all over you. 

    Still keep up with the lifting though so once they are old enough I should still fit into everything.

  4. So down in Cabo. No rolex sports, fuck unless you want an ugly dial tt date just you are out of luck, no other rolex. 

    They also at the same AD there was a rose type XXII on the rose bracelet. I love that, unfortunately the wife doesn't love me that much.. 

  5. that's cool. i wasnt aware he did anything like that. he stayed almost entirely out of public anything.

    So platinum w. 321 anniversary addition. Hopefully next year a non precious metal moon watch will show up with the 321.

    You can choose gold on just the strap (the bracelet adds significantly to the cost on a gold watch!), but agreed; it's the best bracelet on any of my watches, and I include the modern Oyster bracelet in that.

    That's cool,  I had no idea they did that,  totally makes sense.

    I have a tegu lizard strap from the 1960s.  It's a watch strap, and seems fine. Why would you pull hard on a watch strap?

    What I see people do wrong with straps is when buckling and unbuckling bending the strap way back over the pin buckle and I also see people kink the strap up in a loop while feeding it into and out of the minder.

    The pin buckle is free to rotate up and down while not putting any stress on the strap.  The correct way to get it on and off is to take advantage of this while working the pin with your finger. The second minder loop slides.. so slide it. That helps a bunch with getting the strap through the first without bending it severely. 

    Not doing this leads to wearing and cracking on the strap.  Taking these precautions and oiling/waxing a strap will lead to them lasting much longer while looking great.  This is especially important if you have a strap made of vintage leather. 

  8. Relative but pulling hard on a strap wears it. Especially on some exotic leathers or vintage leather it can wear quick. 

    I have a pam strap with waxed leather from roughly 110 years ago. I am super careful how I take it on and off. 

  9. Yea those anchoring points in the clasp don't count.  Watch companies have been doing that for 50 years.  

    Two most annoying things for me are:

    1.  Tudor gives you a micro adjust in almost everything.

    2. Rolex actually has IMO by a wide margin the best micro adjust out there.. but they only put it on the DSSD and new sea dweller 43(I think)

    I loved it on my DSSD, adjust at any time with out taking the watch off and a long range of adjustment.

    Because I don’t like the feeling of a bracelet loose, which happens when my wrist is cool

     

    Yea I hear that.. to bad Rolex are such cheap asses and are unwilling to put a micro adjust on anything other than a sub or seadweller.  

    Solid platinum Daytona with diamonds? nope, FU, you only get ez link.

  11. Its interesting the relationship between the markings on the crowns and what rolex states as the water resistance.

    There are a lot of rolex with stated 100m resistance that have the triplock crown, vs the double. 

    There are some who speculate that these watches with the triplock crows are actually more resistant than what they say.
