No pic to post, but this link may be of interest. Scroll down a few watches... Sinn U50- scaled down version of the U1 |

Hoping someone knows of some obscure over-engineered solution that will withstand fast roping, karate-chopping, butt-stroking and general mayhem only a member of ARFCOM would understand.

It looks way bigger on my wrist in the photo than it does in real life. Attached File |

Soak watch upside down, up to crown in nail polish remover to soften the double sided tape holding the bezel insert on. Clean real well. New tape, and take your time sticking the new insert on so it's all lined up correctly. I'd go with a ceramic insert. Maybe lumed even ! Good luck. |

Diving into the pool, cooler, and maybe Mrs. Finslayer’s swim suit later. Don’t judge me, the lime ones are awesome. Happy Birthday America! 🇺🇸

This was given to me a few years ago but I only wore it a couple times. I just came across it again and I don't know anything about it. Considering finding a strap for it that I like. Anyone have any experience with one?? Is it decent quality? Attached File |

I was between that one and the BN0150-28E I ended up getting. |

I couldn't tell you the reference number without looking it up. It is the 38.5mm Planet Ocean on a 6.75" wrist. I wasn't as keen on the orange accents at first, but they've grown on me. I appreciate the micro adjustment on the clasp. While the watch is very heavy, it wears quite comfortably. |

The orange is subtle, I like it. While I've never handled one, I saw a gent recently on vacation in Aruba that had one of the orange bezel variants and it was really nice. |

Yes, I got the original when it came out about 10 years ago, The TATOSKOK 2 about five years later, He got busy with life/work and stopped his watch hobby business soon after. About a year ago he made some examples of a titanium TATOSKOK 3 and instantly maxed out kick starter funding but called it off right after. I don’t know what happened. To be fair a dozen years ago when he started the Swiss entry level auto diver market wasn’t the full blown renaissance it has become, the microbrand market wasn’t flooded, and there were not every possible sub 100$ homage models out there like now. Bringing out a microbrand auto diver now is probably the equivalent of bringing a polymer framed striker gun to market. |

| Good luck. I asked my wife for the 42 for my 30th wedding anniversary. She got the 39 because the 42 was out of stock. The 39 felt a little small at first, but I’m glad she got the 39. I like the bezel better. Plus I bang my watch into doors and such, so the 42 would probable catch on things a bit more. |

Mine was shopping with her Mom. She already left the store before she got my message so I had to go and get it myself.
