I have looked into Casios and Suuntos searching for a holiday watch which would give the day of the week, alarms and timer functions. I considererd the GW-2000, but the proprietary strap is too...
I think the 5100 is overrated. So is the 7750.
IMHO, anything beyond time, date and bezel is best served by quartz, be it analog or digital. :twisted:
(Did I mention that I have a Casio...
Couldn't have put it any better.
FWIW, the 656 doesn't look small on my 9" wrist, but I also wear 34mm watches (the GG-W-113, though on a 20mm strap). :D
Just my two bezants' worth:
A few more observations from owning a -17C, if you do not mind:
- The lumed portions of the second and minute counter need to be longer to facilitate...
Not unlike tritium vials, the electronics of a quartz movement make for a limited-time investment. I assume a lifetime of about 25 years for such a watch (with or without vial replacement), and...
When I was looking around for a new netbook, the Samsung NC10 and NC20 (12" screen) were the fron-runners because of the superior keyboard.
Wound up with a heavily discounted Lenovo x61s Thinkpad...
One could argue that in your experience of enjoyment the joke, while dead, has fulfilled its raison d'être. ;-)
Personally, I find the Mark 11 dial the easiest to read.
I prefer the original non-serife font, though:

I think the Breguet system of having a large 15-minute subdial is an interesting alternative to the center-minute chronograph.
Not being familiar with daily life in the UK, and having my perception of UK phrases, names and lingo shaped by reading British crime novels, I was wondering what the heck the Metropolitan Police...
Yes and no. For short durations of, say, less than 15 minutes, I actually find the subdial easier to read. It also depends on the size of the hour markers ... on the PRS-17C, e.g., the minute chono...
I didn't hold the rank long enough to find out, or else I'd tell you. :-)
Frankly, Daddel, I don't see much difference between the thread on Watchuseek which allegedly "freaks you out" and this thread here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=84438&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=corvus&start=0

:mrgreen: Yea, that autotranslation would get you out of your chair :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Come on Mike, get revenge for all the jokes about ze germans speaking english :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ...
With the limit of my limited knowledge being limited to dive watches, what's the difference?[/quote]
Navigator watches were used in celestial navigation; their prime purpose, like a ship's...
I would say that the Speedbird III is in a different technical category, what with extra antimagnetic protection (and perhaps a low-pressure-resistant crystal seating? I am not up-to-date on the...
Are you sure they haven't decided that they can't be arsed with the SZ01 and taken the easy option by plopping an ETA 2892 with DD 2073 into the Sinn 142 case. :wink:[/quote]
Yes. :)
Sinn have their SZ01 (a modified 7750, IIRC) still under development.
Make sure to visit Strasbourg (just across the Rhine river) in France. It is well worth the visit. :)
The Citizen divers I have seen use the regular (lumed) hands over a lumed dial ... the aesthetic effect is less than the brands using all-black hands over a lumed dial.
If it is for looks, I think the Damasko is outstanding.
If you want the full lume dial for functionality, go tritium vials. :)
Apollo XV that was. Took two contraband Waltham watches, too, and one of them was worn on the moon when the Speedy's crystal popped.
More importantly, they placed a plaque on the moon establishing...
I have computers in at least three locations, and I am running a system of mutually exchanged physical backups much like Bob Frazier has described.
While I was aking for a "colud computing"...
