BoobBandit 1,311 Posted April 29, 2021 are you suggesting your female colleagues were less clever due to their being female? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,285 Posted April 29, 2021 Oh Jesus, you two are slower than me! I was saying I was the third cleverest boy. In a small class where there were only 7 pupils, 4 of whom were girls - hinting that I might therefore be the most stupid. Facking hell boys, would it help if I drew you a diagram. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When my Pelagos arrives (as per Abe's mate) I intend on taking the movement out to test the pressure resistance, clean up the threads and re-greese the seals, seal the He valve and see it if can handle preferably 10ATM pressure. Not that I'll take it down that far but for piece of mind when I'm in the shower, doing dishes and casual swimming. Nothing more embarrassing that having a rep diver watch with a fogged crystal.

Philiusmaximus 5,062 Posted August 29, 2021 I nearly bought one of these a few months ago. Glad I didn't, it's one of them watches that the novelty factor would wear off quickly for me I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they're pretty cool (nicer than the Ressence ones imo and a lot cheaper), but I just don't like the air bubble thing they have - it looks more like a mistake rather than a design imperative imo.
