ellistyle1 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Patina (the one that has been with me longest): On the original strap: Lume: Nomos Tangomat GMT I bought the last Autodromo Prototipo with a blue face. I had a silver one and missed it after I sold it. LLD! Pelagos Ranger Looking to offload this guy. I am missing some things still for the perfect collection (as I have defined it). Only grails and impulse buys from here on out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Left Coast Guy 29 Posted January 25, 2014 I love the Archimedes. Not sure I'm sold on the bronze, but that is a solid pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellistyle1 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Nice mix. That Bulova looks in good shape for its age. I tried cape cod and head light polish as soon as I got. It made a world of difference. It is a cool little watch. It works as a dress watch, but I intend to give it to my wife so she can perhaps appreciate these watches a bit.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellistyle1 0 Posted January 25, 2014 I love the Archimedes. Not sure I'm sold on the bronze, but that is a solid pick. Bronze was the only way to go for me once I discovered the brand. It is cool to see how the patina has developed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ellistyle1 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Loving the ML, looks superb and that JLC looks great on the Nato, boy I miss that JLC........... :( Funny you say that, Boycie. I didn't mention this when I bought it from you, but I had an NSD before...I sold it shortly before buying the ML. I missed it, had an assload of $ in my paypal account and yours came up for sale. I have no impulse control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khronos 1,339 Posted January 27, 2014 I love the Solebox, what a stunning color combo!! Tell me, is it on the same level as other better reps ( like the JLC for instance )? Is the rubber sticky and has a not so funny smell? Gotta get me one of these after the CNY... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellistyle1 0 Posted January 27, 2014 I love the Solebox, what a stunning color combo!! Tell me, is it on the same level as other better reps ( like the JLC for instance )? Is the rubber sticky and has a not so funny smell? Gotta get me one of these after the CNY... Solebox is nice--it has the great AR. I wouldn't say it is on the JLC NSD level, but I think that boils down to my taste preference. It is close and believe I it is on the superep list. The rubber doesn't smell, but it collects dust like I collect watches. I got the 2813 movement after reading some threads about the eta clone movement making the 24 hour hand slip. I am cool with the jerkier sweep and the $100 it saved me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks for the info, always good to get some feedback from a person who actually owns one. I'm having trouble making my mind between this one and the Ultimate ( Hour glass edition ). But I think this one will be the winner, I love the orange on black contrast, but I know i will hate the dust collecting strap..Great collection you have there, congrats!

Also a nice watch, but it turned into a C&R for whatever reason. I prefer the Orange contrast also. The red felt a bit conspicuous. I am thinking about a different strap, but I like the deployment a lot and the curved strap ends. To fill both criteria, you spend some coin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah, quality doesn't come cheap.. I've seen a pic of Solebox on a thick brown vintage leather strap and it also looked awesome. I wonder what's the price of gen Sinn rubber strap, that may be the way to go. Sinn is not sold in my county, but I can always e-mail them and ask for the price.

I've checked out gen rubbers on eBay and watchrecon for these. They're in the $150-200 range. I may give the thick vintage leather a whirl as you suggest. I also really like nato straps. Or perhaps I should walk around with a can of compressed air and blow it off every 30 mins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted January 29, 2014 That's a pretty steep price for a Sinn strap...Does the price include the deployant? Man, I hate those sticky rubber jobs..they also tend to pull out wrist hair like an insane animal. Nothing worse than pulling a sweater over this kind of strap, there's like a billion dusty fabricky particles on it that are impossible to clean off. God, why do I always fall in love with a watch during CNY..why.. I think it would look great on a Caitlin 4 strap from Gunny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellistyle1 0 Posted March 12, 2014 I updated it. I have a PO and a 1016 in the air. Perhaps time to stop buying watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
