Shiny new crystal on my Undone chronograph. The company was kind enough to replace it free when it cracked.

so you like the watch? I have been tempted by Undone before but not pulled the trigger

I should have bought one of these back when you could get one with the bracelet for <$400

I like it. Such a big "dress" watch at 40mm is a little different, but I love the dial, the rose gold, the big onion crown, and the hybrid movement. It's my most fun, blingy watch.

The Seiko VK63 meca-quartz chronograph movement is cool. The instant reset and sweeping seconds on the chrono makes it feel like a real chronograph. And the small seconds hand means that I don't really notice that it's a quartz when I check the time - no big seconds hand ticking away. Plus quartz grab and go convenience - no setting and winding in the morning.

On shark mesh today, you know, in case a Sharknado touches down at work.

Ball is one of those brands that always seems to fly under the radar, while making some fantastic things. I love how the tritium tubes almost look sunken on the dial!

I dont really like mesh so I expected that to look worse than it does. Not bad at all.

Yeah, I think it's the beefier links that does it. I have a "Milanese" mesh strap for my Orient Esteem and a finer mesh like that wouldn't look very good on a diver.

It's impressive how small & comfortable 44mm can feel when designed correctly

Sterile manual-wind pilot today...

well thats neat.

well thats neat.

I appreciate the comments - this is a fun thread. Love the variety.

The sterile pilot started with a Parnis case, then a watch buddy sourced an xtal, dial, handset and swan neck movement to pull it all together. Nothing fancy, but I like it.
