You can sometimes tell based on the other watches they have in their collection, but if they only wear one watch regularly, it's more difficult to get a sense as to what to get.

Which part are you taking issue with? If the TPD is properly set, then it should wind the watch as much as it unwinds over a 24 hour period. If you start the wind cycle when the watch is fully wound, then it won't wind it further. Also the winder when on tends to wind the watch faster than it...

I understand, but while the winder should be set to wind the mainspring as much as it unwinds over a 24 hour period, this is usually not true over a shorter period of time, since winders tend to front load the winding in the first half of the 24 hour period, as opposed to evenly spreading it out...

I actually prefer the original hands on the Sea Diver, there is almost a Bauhaus simplicity to the dial and hands on that watch.

The movement in the 5175 is definitely a work of art, but I much prefer the elegance and simplicity of my 5119 compared to the over the top case of the 5175. The Patek Grand Complication that I like is the 5140 perpetual calendar. I think that a dress watch can only have an intricate case (as in...

I think the delayed start is particularly helpful, as when I put a watch I have worn the entire day on the winder it probably already has close to its full power reserve, so it makes sense to give it a bit of time to wind down before trying to wind it up again.

I don't own one, but they're a sister company to Frederique Constant, and they're notable for having in-house movements at a fairly affordable price. If the quality is anything like Frederique Constant, then I would say that they offer a quality product.

For daily wear, I like divers, but in terms of my collection, I prefer dress watches.

As long as the box is sturdy enough to protect the watch while shipping, I don't really mind that it's modest, so long as the cost savings get passed along to us.

Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119J

My dream watch is the Patek Philippe 5140 perpetual calendar.

I just ordered the blue version. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get here.

It was an Invicta 8926OB, but I sold it a while ago. If you're referring to my first mechanical watch, it was a vintage Omega DeVille that my dad gave me in my late teens, but I never really connected with it. It didn't have any sentimental value, because it wasn't a watch that my dad ever wore...

Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duo Rolex Submariner 114060 Zenith Captain Winsor

I tried getting the bezel insert off my Steinhart OVM, and absolutely butchered it. There wasn't enough clearance between the bezel and case to pry off the bezel either. I ended up having to send it back to have them replace the insert for me. I just recently purchased this bezel remover from...

Are there plans for a blue version? You also mentioned that additional bezels will be available for the Sea Hawk, what kind of tool do you recommend for changing the bezels?

I like the Wolf Design 2.7 winders, as they are highly configurable, allowing you to set the number of turns per day, whether it rotates clockwise, counterclockwise, or bidirectionally, and it also features a delayed start timer.

I've been wearing my Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military on a blue NATO. There is a nice color contrast between the blue NATO and the yellow markers and hour markers.

Well, after looking at all the beautiful pictures of the matte ceramic bezel with engraved markers and lumed numerals, the thickly applied lume, and the highly domed sapphire crystal, I decided to pull the trigger on a blue Sea Hawk. I have been looking for a homage to the blue Tudor snowflake...
