Anyone else notice that watchuseek.com is not working very well today?
Yes … WUS is “Gone Fishing” this morning for me as well.
Wow, that Doxa-style SKX is stunning.
Yep, the Doxa homage is pretty nice. Great beater with lots of character.
They are switching to new servers & software.
The new interface for watchuseek.com is completely unusable for my needs.
If they don't fix it soon, I'll have to find a new watch forum.

I understand.
Most of the forums I belong to have been switching to this software over the past couple months, so I have gotten used to its navigation.
It's the search function that seems practically unusable for me.
Lately I just do a search for threads with "Timex" or "mesh" in the title, and so far it doesn't work like it used to.

Yes, the search specific to each sub-forum, especially the private sales, is now a major PITA for particular brands.
SteelDive Pilot with Seiko NH35 movement and sapphire crystal:
Nice clean pilot. How’s the lume?
The lume is decent too although it’s not as bright as my other SteelDive divers but it’s much better than the lume on my Pagani Explorer.

Watchuseek has worked out the revised site bugs and I find it quite nice. Posting is a breeze and adding photos are now drag and drop. No need to select advanced options to compose a post. A bit of a learning curve to break old habits yet, I am quite pleased with the new format.
On my wrist today. My Trusty Borealis Estoril 300.
I'm glad WUS works for you.
For me, the search is beyond broken.
If it worked correctly like it used to before the update, I would really appreciate it.
“SteelDive ”Sumo”“:Steel Reviews: EDC pocket dump #4 (knives, tools, gears, gadgets, watches etc.) today:
SteelDive SKX007 with all the upgrades what I always missed from the original Seiko (NH35 movement, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel):
The second Steeldive, Heimdallr, etc. releases one of these SKX homages with a solar quartz movement I’m jumping all over it. Can’t believe Seiko hasn’t done it already, especially with their moves toward retail/boutique shop sales vs watch enthusiasts (or anyone that needed a cheap tool/diving watch, but let’s be honest the SKX wasn’t king of that role for at least a decade).
IIRC Steeldive already has a quartz version but it has much cheaper fit and finish compared to the auto mech one they sell. Yours looks fantastic!
Thanks!
As I see SteelDive gives the biggest bang for your buck so I hope they will release a couple of “eco drive” versions sooner or later.
This SD SKX wears smaller than I expected, even the jubilee bracelet feels comfortable so I’m quite happy with it. The only thing that bugs me is that the recent version comes with a full lumed ceramic bezel. So I’m planning to upgrade mine with a full lumed one but I’m not sure about the process. Can anyone recommend me a good guide for replacing bezel inserts?
