    What watch do you wear?

    Latest purchase. Tissot PRS 516 quartz chrono on rally bracelet. Warranty card in the box states it was sold to the original buyer in 2005 but may be a bit older. Bracelet had a few scratches but buffed them out with a scotchbright pad. Prefer a brushed bracelet as opposed to a polished/brushed...

    If your dead set on a titanium piece steinhart also produce one. https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/premium-line/ocean-titanium-500-premium.html I've got two steinys here, the DLC and an ocean one green. I was very tempted by the titanium after seeing a friends. Great looking well built...

    What watch do you wear?

    I've got the ocean black DLC here. Nice watch, but titanium is lighter and stronger. Both will scratch but it will be more noticeable on a DLC/PVD watch. Quality wise, steinhart and cw are both pretty much on a par. Though you do get a higher water resistance rating on the cw's. 600m vs...

    What watch do you wear?

    The hq is a nice piece, but movement aside it isn't any better than a steinhart ocean one green I have. The longines bracelet is awful by comparison. Push pins which I'm wary off versus screws on the steiny, and the steiny features two half links and more holes on the deployant for a better fit...

    What watch do you wear?

    Newest addition, Longines hydroconqest 41mm automatic. Ended up going for a second hand one on auction as precision time were unable to source one. Crystal and bezel are pristine, one tiny mark on the case side and a few on the bracelet. All of which should be easy to polish/brush.

    That's the only omega I'd buy, otherwise a Tudor pelagos blue. The former is the best looking omega diver ever made imho. Pelagos blue best ever of all brands. Such a clean looking design. The older model with the ETA movement is actually becoming much more sought after now by collectors on the...

    Thanks, ordered here. https://www.precisiontime.co.uk/longines-l36954196-hydroconquest-watch.html Though the price has increased now. Regarding the steiny Ti, no stock direct from steinhart? I purchased my ocean black DLC from them, delivery and price is similair to chronomaster where I...

    msi X99s mpower not booting?

    Kit is a gskill ripjaw 4 16gb 3000mhz one. It does have a lifetime warranty. Though I'm not the original owner. Purchased it off a guy on another forum along with the mobo and a 5820k.

    What watch do you wear?

    Thanks, will do. A friend has the older large numeral model, which iirc are applied versus painted on the new dial model. Also the older one uses the ETA 2824 as opposed to the 2892 in the new one. I'm pretty familiair with the former as its used in my two steinharts. Very solid workhorse movement.

    msi X99s mpower not booting?

    Can boot fine with 1-2-3 dimm's. But the minute I add a forth no joy. This is in slot 7, second one to the right of the cpu socket. Hopefully just a dodgy memory stick as I can afford to replace the ram but not the board at present. EDIT, tested all three known good sticks in slot 7. All...

    Ordered a Longines hydroconqest automatic last weekend. Red bezel white dial model. Quite a nice saving over the normal retail price of £790.00. Paid £643.00 including delivery.

    msi X99s mpower not booting?

    Turned on my system for the first time in a few weeks. But no display on screen or no lights on mouse or keyboard. Lcd indicator on the board is dashing between codes 04 and 55. Tried clearing cmos via button on the back and removing the battery. Still no luck. Also, as the previous owner used...

    Anyone ever used this shop before. https://www.precisiontime.co.uk/longines-l36954196-hydroconquest-watch.html Looking to buy a red bezel hydroconqest soon. Like both the white and black dial models. Though the latter is £790.00 in uk retailers. Heard from a friend on fb that the place in...

    Unseen highlights of your life

    Two grouse with two shots on a walking days grouse shooting on a local moore. Several years ago, i was using a pair of german short haired pointers, let them out hundreds of yards whereas my friends were using springer spaniels which had to be kept within 40 yards. A more relaxed form of game...

But generally im a pretty sociable person. I get on well with people in my small village, yet the vast majority of them i wouldnt class...

    Hyperthreading

    If for gaming only, yes it helps in a few titles. Mostly with sli/xfire. But even with one card some can feel smoother. Not something an fps counter can convey. For other tasks that make use of extra cores/threads it can make a pretty signifigant difference.

    Looking for advice

    I owned this exact case and tbh air intake/exhaust in it is excellent. It has 2x 140mm intake fans, and 2x 120mm exhausts at rear. The second top fan isnt visible in the op's photo as it is in the top most rear of the case. An area that can serve as a hdd bay with the provided adapter. Or a psu...

    What watch do you wear?

    The ocean one black DLC does look good on a NATO. Strap was bought for about £6.00 on the bay. Though this watch runs about +5 seconds per day compared to +2 on my ocean green. Both ETA 2824-2 elabore movements. Still well within margin for both.
