ha, glow cord, i like it

Yeah that one turned out better than I thought. It glows bright at first, fades gradually but never goes completely dark. I dont normally like white watch straps at all.

Bezels machined for the actual SKX don’t fit unfortunately, but at least inserts do on the Heimdallr homages:

That SKX Monster has been sitting on my wishlist for a while. :slight_smile: How do you like it?

Finally I managed to find a decent paratrooper style strap for my SteelDive Sumo:

I had actually ordered the classic SKX dial version and received this by mistake (Heimdallr made it right). That said, it’s pretty good except that I can’t get the caseback off to regulate it and it’s running about 10s/d slow (I ALWAYS prefer a watch running fast). Lume is slightly worse than the MM300 dial version and San Martin 62MAS and on par with an Orient Ray.

Overall QC and finishing is very good for the price! Happy I’ve gone with them over the Long Island Watch SKX homage TBH thanks to being half the price. Just wish all SKX parts were compatible.

I have had my new Casio GGB100-1A3 for a week now and absolutely love it :heart_eyes: , I would post a picture but not able to.

What’s wrong with the caseback of the Heimdallr SKX?
At a glance it’s the same as SteelDive and I managed to have a couple of my SteelDives regulated without any problem.

Very nice, very nice :sunglasses:

I’ve tried almost everything short of supergluing a bolt to it (that’s an actual method, you can remove with an acetone soak afterward) to try and remove them and simply can’t. Neither my MM300 or Monster dial variants will budge at all. Not about to shell out for a professional caseback remover that costs as much as one of the watches either.

Great choice, my GWM5610 arrives Tuesday.

And because I also wanted something with traditional hands, this one arrives Tuesday.

I am also a fan of G-Shock watches. My current EDC watch is this Gravity Master. I like the copper tone and orange nylon band of this model.

Well, 4 years. I got the watch above in 2012 and it has worked flawlessly since, but recently the second battery has stopped working.

There were two reasons to buy a different one though, because I wanted a mechanical watch (I really dislike having to go to a shop to swap the battery every 3/4 years) and because after 9 years the tritium tubes are significantly dimmer than when new.

I tried a Glycine Airman purist version for a year now, it is beautiful but despite wearing it every day to my surprise I have not been able to get used to the 24 hour reading of the small hand, looking at my watch remained a puzzle even after a year :person_facepalming: . And I missed the tritium at night.

So this is my newest attempt, I gambled on a chinese watch from aliexpress, a black Epoch 7012G (it says “witness the times” on the face, which is a bit weird, but I don’t care about that), with Myoto automatic movement, sapphire cristal and tritium tubes. It was a bit over 200 dollar. I used my old leather strap that I like very much.

It runs 14 seconds per day fast, which is a bit much but the rest feels great and quality, and I can read the time again :laughing: .
And the trits are awesome, and considerably brighter than the trits from my old watch.

technically you are supposed to have mech watches serviced every couple years - usually at over $100
