Torpedo

Now they just need to make the App to use it on the iPhone.

Thanks for the tips, Larry. This is the iPhone camera. I keep a couple of filters that I used with the lenses on the film cameras I still keep (Nikon and Pentax) but none of them is polarised, all are UV to remove the excessive glare on sunny pics.

Those were serious injuries, Larry. Full recovery may take longer, I wish you both get there.

This was my father's daily wear since 1969 until he passed away. I don't wear it much. It's an alarm wristwatch. The button at 2 is the alarm on/off switch plus the quick day jump by pushing. The crown at 3 winds the alarm spring, adjusts hour and week day (no quick jump, you may need to turn the hands 12 times to get where you want to), and adjusts (first position) the alarm time which is displayed by the inner rotating bezel. Like many automatic Seiko of its time, you need to wear it to wind the movement for not having a manual winding position. It looks larger in the pic than it actually is at just 38mm, probably due to the light, my rather thin wrist, and the outer bezel/case being pretty slim too. It's been recently adjusted, there're no spare parts so when something breaks probably no chances to get it back working. It's going about +10 seconds/day on the winder, a bit less on my wrist. The pic doesn't really make it justice, the dial has this metal finish, so the center inside has a different reflection pattern than the ring delimited by the hour marks. I can't capture that without getting an annoying reflexion on the plexiglass glass. Maybe when I get a decent camera.

Damn! I'm sorry for these bad news Tyll. Get well soon, I wish you're around in no time. Lots of hugs

Cheers, Matt!

Very nice watch, Larry.

Condolences, Todd.

Happy birthday, Ian!!!!

It's great you noticed the problem before it damaged the watch. Maybe that's a winder's design fault, people have large watches these days.

Some types of hearing loss may have a genetic component. Good for you having your ears protected at such loud events Keep us posted on the results.

You're way too young to start noticing that. Have your hearing professionally checked and if there's a loss, take protecting measures, otherwise you might be a good candidate to use hearing aids in the future.

And probably some sort of improved Mrs and Miss Claus too.

Because I have a tough time finding people to get along and you're just them OTOH the watch was the wife's choice. I wonder what's she doing with me.

I know, Chris, you posted pics some time ago. I love your watch

The other Zenith my best half got me for the 50th birthday

It's even better than the Philippine parents watching music videos OMG people applaud when they finish this butchering.

Friends don't do this to friends, Craig

I love Stilton. Eating it with grapes made for one of the finest meals from which I keep fond memories.

This is having a noticeable effect here. Pages load way faster, including the ones with pics that right after the update were slow like a snail. Thank you!

Get well soon.

I'd check it before buying, it's not as much as if your wrist can wear it, but if its own size won't look as a clown watch. IMO watches over 42mm tend to look pretty excessive, even ridiculous.

I think it's a pretty safe bet, it's one of the midrange brands part of the Swatch Group, so they're using ETA or other well known and durable movements, with a decent finishing quality. It all comes to what's more of your liking. I for one would go for a Seiko, the Prospex Scuba SBDC001 and SBDC007 are two of my favourite "affordable" mechanical dive watches, and if that is too much the SKX007 is a classic.

The emoticons are accesible but the first time you try to use them after a sign in or after some time without accessing the site, you need to click on the emoticons button then the "categories" menu, otherwise the old ones won't show to be used. The default is the "overview" set. I've figured out how to have the "new content" tool to display just the unread messages, not all the ones that had some activity (or whatever this decided they had) and the ones I already read in the current session. It wasn't that difficult Still missing a lot knowing who liked posts, that was a nice feature that at first didn't seem such a great deal on the previous version.
