[RadEoNic]

i polished off the deep scratch an idiot left on my stowa
the clash was bad enough to chip the steel on my watch case

 

[chromehead]

Which version do you prefer?

that faked patina lume is still in vogue eh lol

SMP 300 'reissue' looks buey pai though

Left. I find it "cleaner".

I kinda of like the US version more...
Maybe JLC started the whole patina thingy, this tribute reissue is in 2011/2012

Does anyone know whether the new Zenith El Primero Synopsis has hit our local shores yet?

patina lume is more for the diver reissues i think.


think the retro craze in general started earlier, maybe 2009/2010

some of the big releases i remembered were the Zenith El Primero 1969 reissues and Tudor Heritage Chrono



cant forget the hilarious Tudor Hydronaut 1200 with big kkj hands

longines LLD no date is nice too if you can find it, definitely much cheaper than JLC

Omg.. that's really bad

Anw, I think I'll let it be for now...

The scratch isn't that obvious under the normal viewing conditions...

Your scratch not deep and not obvious i think
Just continue enjoy wearing it and accumulate the scratches and then go change new crystal glass ba

Yes! Tries to be a sub but doesn't look like a sub at all because of the day and date.

[i_got_a_question_to_ask]

Your Seiko indices is it out of alignment or just photo angle? I find many lower end Seiko got this problem leh. Zzzz

I ever used cape cod cloth when my 104 had a scratch - it worked fine for me even though it's supposedly to be used for polishing metals. So use it at your own risk
