What I find interesting, is for decades 31-34mm was considered a "common" sized men's watch. Only last couple decades we've got...

Some more "watch modding" fun....case, sapphire, hands, bracelet and dial with a workhorse Seiko NH-35A movement.

Little tribute to the Rolex 4 Digit 5513 Submariner.....first released in 1962 and...

Well it was a fascinating experience.

I was planning on taking pics are various parts of the process, but brain was to focused, just didn't want to put everything down once I'd gotten my groove...

Here's another I'm looking at, now Seiko made some super watches in the 60's and 70's, another guy on a forum I'm discussing with is this beauty:

If you like wearing a watch, and like looking at them, you're a watch guy, like me.

In the watch world, I believe the expression is, WIS, Watch Idiot Savant, on this site, we would be, SRIS,...

HAR! It's 316L stainless steel/titanium alloy.

Having said that, there is a total Titanium on the site, which I did not purchase as didn't like the look.

But it's a super fun watch, so light...

Thanks, that never occurred to me that I was not fully assembling the watch completely - appreciate you clearing that up for me.....sheesh.

Decided to learn to build my own watch, joined the DIY Watch Club, going to build my own watch. Should be fun, also ordered a much better kit of tools (Amazon $12.00 only goes so far lol), been going...

Love to get the reference number of the two tone watch in your post, then you can send me that Zenith you found, I'll get it all fixed up and send you that Tag Automatic.....lol

Are you referring to the Solid 18k Gold Dragon Lupah from Invicta, that is the only listed solid gold watch from Invicta that I can find.

This watch (in your post) is a 2 tone watch, so center...
