The Watch Thread - Part 5

[kiosai]

I love the complicated dial

Wear it in good health!

So what can the Navihawk do according to the 100 pages?

 

[Vanilla Way]

I get a headache looking at the dial

Has the same effect on me

 

[slow_mo]

The freaking manual is over 100 pages!!!!

100 over pages!! Sounds like a flight manual!!!

 

[slow_mo]

no lah... i saw this watch in one of the threads on the watchuseek forum. looks rather good, so i wanted to share it with you all and maybe get some opinions on it i'm probably even noober when it comes to watches!

Haha... Didn't mean to be rude with my comments.

errr..... i haven't even gotten past the issue of resizing the band..... will do that tomorrow

in the meantime the missus is a bit unwell but feeling hungry so I was making some congee to keep her tummy warm - the watch can always wait (trying to procrastinate reading the manual actually LOL).

The navihawk / skyhawk has always fascinated me even before I was into luxury watches. Have always liked complicated dials so I started with skeletons. This navihawk just blew me away the first time i saw it in pictures. I actually almost got an older version of the navihawk from skywatches but when I saw the real watch in the flesh I just walked away.

Was actually quite torn - a quartz for $600..... something in me couldn't stomach it. But well..... I feel a moral obligation to fulfill the motto of our fellowship (hoot first talk later) and so ............... IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT THAT I SPENT 600 ON A QUARTZ LOL!!!!!!

thanks all...... now headache over 55 fff or 59 fff......

Same here. Prefer a cleaner dial.

Well. The $600 quartz has its own complications. Start reading the manual to appreciate it!

hey do u wanna take my dial first....? I don't mind. Just need to pass me yours when it's here..... would be happy to see your mod complete asap

if you do on 59, transplant the hands from 55 so that dial and hands match. if you do 55 everything fits properly. tbh the pictures for snzh all the 4 variations the color really is very nice. but judging by your above picture, maybe 59 with the modern dial can work without need to use 55 hands.

my first order with bradystrap is here!! (black sailcloth with black stitching)

the texture is really really smooth though - definitely feels better than the Paros. But I'm not a man of details so the Paros will do just fine for me.

fellow forumer has reserved the strap (bradystrap) awaiting transaction......

cost: 34.95 USD
handling fee: 4.00 USD (bradystrap)
Total: 38.95 USD

ordered 1st week of May iirc......

Had the brady strap. Wasn't very lasting. It started to tear 4 months into wearing it.
