If the cannon pinion is propperly adjusted, you can stop the movment by slowly setting the hands backwards. Not as nice as a hack mechanism, but it will allow you to sync with another time piece.
For almost a grand, whay not get an autowind?

There is something nice about winding you watch every morning when you wake up.

what is the purpose of wearing a watch facing in like that?

>>16308
Multiple reasons. Can see the face while holding a gun, doesn't get caught on stuff as easy, reduces outward glare.

Personally I find it more comfortable. But, I've been wearing it outward for a while now because it's easier to tell time when using handlebars.

I prefer inside facing because Im HSLD.


Or because its more comfortable to me. For example doing pushups. Wearing it normally the watch might press into the back of my hand. With it inward facing it never interferes with hand things.

Mostly to protect the face of the watch when I'm working.

I've never heard of Weiss, but that's damn pretty. The detail of the face is very classy and I like the small seconds dial. How big is it?

I love field watches. My current favorite is the Hamilton 42mm Day/Date my wife got me. It's everything I need and nothing I don't. I'd love a tritium field watch but they're fairly rare.

Fits slightly smaller than most 42mm watches. 6" wrist I would say are the minimum for it.

That sounds nice. I like a 40-42mm case, so a 42 that wears small sounds nice. I like the blue limited edition - there aren't enough blue faced field watches out there.

Bought a Suunto core for $188

Recently I've taken a liking to Skagen watches. Not exactly "tactical", well by any means really, but mine does happen to have DAY-DATE function and a 24 hour clock as well. Face is white with chrome accents, not my preferred combination but its still easy to read at a glance. It's marked 331XLSL1, but I think the specific model was called the Jonas. It's case is about 8mm thick. I think it's been discontinued.

But I DO NOT like a thick case. I don't mind large size, but I find thick cases are just asking to be ruined. Skagen has a case that's very thin comparatively. People have complained about the straps being poor quality but I haven't had any problems yet, and I am hard on watches.

I really don't like the trend towards huge thick cases, lately, and wish more people were into low drag. Anyone know any thin watches, that are actually functional, unlike the Citizen Stiletto?

Just saw this thread again and now I'm sad. Watch got stolen a while back. Though I just misplaced it in the house but I literally moved every piece of furniture, flipped every cushion, etc...even searched my housemates rooms after they left for the summer...

Weiss isn't exactly common on the east coast. I swear if I see someone in Radford wearing it I'm gonna cut their arm off and beat them to death with it.

Sinn 556i

Pictures can't even capture how crisp the dial is.

Despite not being a diver, it had a water resistance rating of 200m which is definitely a feat for having...

An exhibition caseback of sapphire! Always nice to be able to see the inner workings.

It wears equally nice on a NATO as well. I plan on eventually getting the Sinn bracelet or a deployment clasp rubber.

My Stocker and Yale "mickey mouse" watch died.

Had it since tech. Who can get it working? Tritium is long dead, if that matters.

Any competent watch maker should be able to help you out.

Fuck me, I could look at automatics' asses all damn day.

I just got a Seiko 5 about six months ago, and for ~$70, I couldn't be happier. I'll post photos when I get a halfway decent camera.

What band is that?
