The Watch Thread - Part 6

[Nikeboy]

How's the new XT? I am still using the M775 with rigid fork. Sorry for OT

Engagement is fast and accurate, but not smooth while shifting gears. Reason for that is because I am using Ultegra rear derailleur.

homage to PP 5227?

long ago even pocket watches had that styling, and most of the dials were white!...Patek might have had it but i don't think you can attribute it to Patek, much more so that particular model

Haha oh I just find that it looks really similar to it if you just ignore the brand that's all.

 

[Donten]

impeccable taste, i must say

You got a shot of your entire collection? Can share?

 

[gaoxing84]

Looks pretty awesome to me
question is how to keep it secure if the case is the screw in type?
use tubes or spring bar?

Ride on Weekday! On leave and decided to go cycling on a cooling day.

Nice, I like the greyish metallic look, and a dial that does not detract from that look.

 

[Chronology]

Good morning all! On my way to the gym!

 

[yattokame]

Pam + NATO strap = very nice!

You can use either your lug screws+tubes combo or just spring bars. Mine's quick release bars but I don't bother with tubes.

What to wear today?

Okay, it matches... a bit...

Removed old strap and fix back the bars. I can't be bothered with tubes. In your case, you can thread in your tubes when you screw your bars in, or be like me, forgo the tubes.

Thread the NATO strap in...

Thread the long end of the NATO strap through the back strap. Making sure that the watch case is equidistant from the 2 O rings (you can see it in the next photo).

All ready! Time for coffee!

Good moaning guys, which to wear on a Wednesday?

Haiz, some people lucky with a choice of watches... I am stuck with only my straps...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

I don't mind to try a few...

Personally, I don't see how the screw thread will unscrew since it is a one piece strap and not the normal 2-piece strap which has more movement. If you are afraid that it may unscrew, then go spring bars.
