Zodiac ZMX 03 Chronograph Diver Watch Is Kinda Chronograph, Kinda Not - Kinda Interesting, Kinda Bland
It is easy to see how this watch came into existence. Zodiac is part of the uber-mediocre Fossil watch company. Think of a committee sitting around together. Maybe only one or two of them knows anything about the technical side of watch making. The rest are product designers, hipsters, and marketing people who like to gauge market trends. Someone blandly comments, "Zodiac has a deep history with diving, let's create something bold, that fits in the existing product line." The non-technical designers go to work, basically ignoring most of the functional elements, and only focusing on pure form, or what their teachers awarded them on in product design school. They take into consideration the memo that big watches are in, they look at other diving watches, and have some idea of the materials they can work with. Oh, and watches tend to look more 'legitimate' when there are lots of instrumental looking hash marks on the dial. Who knows what odd impractical thing they came up with initially?

So, in January I ordered a grey leather hornback strap from AP. I did this as I've never been a big fan of the rubber strap for comfort. It arrived after just 7 months! and today I went to have it put on my watch. My first surprise was that it wasn't a hornback as requested and my second surprise was that it wasn't the finish on the leather that I'd requested either. However, I'm actually pretty happy with the result. So here's a photo, the most important thing that they got perfect is the Leo Messi grey that I ordered, in the photo it's hard to tell but it's actually a perfect match with the grey dial.

Some help pls
Hi there im new to these forums and im looking for some info,While clearing out my grandads house after his passing i found a omega watch which he was given when he sold his company to his partners when he retired, I noticed the strap is broken and a little ball to lock the strap in is missing, My main problem is the watch was lose in his jewelry box and ive searched high and low for some kind of document or box to go with it but to was unable to find one so im includeing these pictures. Hopefully someone can tell me if its real or not and if so where the best place to get it fixed would be if not then i just get any strap but if real id like to keep it orig rather than changeing parts, Also could someone let me know what watch it actually is, Ive seen ref to panda face 20th july limited so im confused !:)

Seamaster Workhorse.........
My Father bought a Seamaster in the early 60's and wore it for everything. He was an engineer, mechanic, garage tinkerer, and horsman.. After a couple decades of hard use, he gave it to me, and I put another couple of decades of hard use on it as my beater watch. It was the garage, yardwork, fool-around watch until I lost the stem several years back.This is how it looked about 6 months ago: I sent it off with instructions to just give the case, dial, and hands a good cleaning; and overhaul the movement as necessary.This is how it looks today:A new stem, crown, and cleaned up dial and hands:The fresh Omega crystal is a joy to look through:The case has been cleaned up, but no polishing or removal of the already well worn 14k Gold:A new Omega Calf Leather strap and gold buckle:The 560 movement was completely disassembled, worn parts replaced and fresh oil:(file photo)The date change started at about 10:30, and changed completely by 12:15:I think it's earned a rest, at least from heavy
