Introducing the Hexa Q500
Hexa is young watch brand that made a fair amount of noise in the affordable watch world earlier in 2013 with the release of their 500-meter K500 diver. Hexa was founded with the goal of developing "purpose-built instruments that feature innovative and original design solutions" and with the K500 it appears that they delivered on that promise. Ranging in price from $624 to $799, the K500's are certainly affordable, and their uniquely asymmetrical, rugged design give them a signature look.Now, Hexa is back with the release of their second watch, the Q500, a more affordable quartz version of the original K500. What the brand is affectionately referring to as "a grab-and-go quartz tool diver" the Q500 offers the same case design found on the K500 at a decidedly more budget friendly price of $350 with custom Italian rubber dive strap and optional upgrade to 5 link bracelet. Also like the K500, the Q model is designed, built and tested in the US with 2-year manufacturers warranty by L��m-Tec

Then I decided that I needed something to wear daily. I did my due dilligence and set my budget for <$4250. I was between the classic Omega Speedmaster Professional and the Explorer II. I found one for a fair price from a seller listing in TRF's classifieds. Box, papers, tags - a nice no holes case example, and pulled the trigger. I couldn't be happier with it and wear it daily. I decided that I wanted a rubber Everest strap for it. I've been very pleased with the strap but have switched back to the bracelet for the Fall and Winter. I still had an Omega itch to scratch. I was on eBay and found a complete and li

Seconds hand remains hacked after pushing the crown back
After winding my sub 20 turns and starting the seconds hand, I set the time and the second hand hacks as usual, however it didn’t start ticking again after Having screwed the crown down. It was only after shaking the watch that the seconds hand started moving again. Is this normal?
