Great value for money.
The finish and quality is mind-blowing, really.
I just love CW. ?
PS CW also has a magazine if you don't want to miss their new releases.
Nice coupons too.
I really don't like modern 911s.
They're way too heavy and too big.
Yes, they drive excellent, I know.
Another thing I hate is the analog rev counter in the middle of digital screens, very ugly imho.
Another thing is that you can't even see the engine anymore, just fans, no, not a fan...
Freshly restored Seiko 5 model 7009-3100 from October 1995.
New crystal, refurbished the case and bracelet.
And I made a sunburst. ?
Runs well.
On the right my 2022 Tissot PRX.
Do you follow when I say Tissot has some very 70s styling? ?
Freshly restored, a Seiko 5 model 7009-876A, 1995.
Getting better at this and it's quite rewarding to do.
One thing to do: replacing the bearing of the rotor, it's wobbly...other than that it works well.
That was about 5 hours of work.
It's hard to keep the sharp lines when polishing the...
Restored, a Seiko 5 automatic from January 1975 so almost 50 years old.
Not perfect but good enough for display.
It has a new faceted crystal (found an original one after a long time!) so the sunburst dial is even more spectaculair!
It does look better irl.
Next one: Seiko Arctura 1998.
I just...
Arrived today from Canada.
€45 cheaper than market value (incl import tax)! ?
There's a great demand for it but I got one!
Tissot PRX Tiffany.
Would be a great color on the Taycan...??
Another project finished.
A Casio G-Shock full metal mod.
Base watch is a green dial GM-2100 3AER (€150, black chrome) with the case of the 1AER (chrome).
To match the new GM-B2100 (€600) I bought a replica bracelet of the GM-B2100 (€60) cuz the original bracelet of the GM-B2100 doesn't fit the...
Missing even more parts...
Missing: 2 metal covers, 4 screws and two mylar insulators.
I'm also replacing the crystal.
So, hunting for parts...
Meanwhile:
I already restored the metal case and bracelet by giving it a sanding, polishing and brushing.
It came out pretty good.
To be continued !
1997 Seiko Arctura kinetic project arrived.
Although the titanium version is more collectable, I prefer the exo-skeleton bracelet.
Now looking for stem, crown and crystal.
New capacitor was included.
Case and bracelet needs make-up.
Absolutely beautiful. ?
Almost bought one too if it wasn't for the date window.
I really don't like it at the 4-5 o'clock position.
I learned that after my Breitling J Class. ?
Love the overall Seiko design though.
(and a 1998 3M22-0D30 Arctura project is on it's way).
I just started a group on Facebook, maybe you like to join?
It's just for showing what you wear today.
It's private.
Would love to have some more members and make the group bigger and more international.
You're welcome! ?

The Chronomat GT...
And had to have a Breitling quartz too: the J Class Chrono...
As a kid I was always amazed by Breitling, no idea why.
Bought a fake one when I was a teenager (still have it) and now I have four. ?
Love them. ??
I used a standaard Casio G-Shock GM-2100-1AER and a modding set from eBay.
You only have to unscrew four screws and take out the Carbon Core® and put it in the case.
You can use any GM-2100, there are different colors.
Tutorial video.
You can also use GA-2100, they are cheaper but don't have...
So I've modded my Casio G-Shock GM2100 with a new full metal case and bracelet.
This mod is called the CasiOak.
I wonder why...?
I'm very happy with it. ?
It's a unexpectedly good quality product from China.
I don't like the new full metal Casio G-Shock GM-B2100 but this one is all the...
