Makara Sea Turtle Review
Funky tool dive watches will always have a home on worn&wound. There is something inexplicably charming about them. Sometimes they are too big, sometimes too clunky, but they are kind of always fun to test and try out. The biggest problem with them is variation. Many brands have nearly the same designs, sometimes suspiciously so, making them become tiresome and tedious. So, when a brand comes along with something unique, it tends to grab our attention.We've talked about Makara before, when we got the chance to handle a prototype of their first watch, the Octopus. It was a fun watch with a unique design that sold out quickly. As a follow up Makara recently released a new watch called the Sea Turtle. Available only in bronze, but with a bunch of dial options, it takes the distinct look of the Octopus in a new direction. Featuring a 300m CuSn8 case, sapphire crystal and a Seiko NH35A movement for $395, it's also well priced. Let's take a closer look.Makara Sea Turtle ReviewCase: Bronz

Omega? 1941? Model Depose?
Hey there Omega folks... Do you folks know anything about this particular watch? It looks cool and I can get it for what I consider a reasonable price. I just don't know anything and a search doesn't provide much. This is what Im told...1. 1941 Model Year2. Military Watch3. Model Depose 101542314. 30mmThat's all... HELP?! (If I've posted in the wrong spot, sorry!)

Omega AT big size chronometer 2502.33.00 v newer 8500 AT
Perhaps covered elsewhere but indulge me. I'm in the market for the white faced big size chronometer with the 42.2 diameter. I'm really struggling and may look instead at the rail master or the newer albeit smaller AT but I need a big presence watch and the 41mm just isn't doing it for me.Any tip or pics showing side by side comparisons?

A special one for my 5000th post!
I've been planning this for a while and actually had to refrain from posting for the last couple of weeks, so I wouldn't go over the mark After spending years with the sports models exclusively, this one feels... special. That is the first word which came to my mind when putting it on for the first time. It gives off a very distinct feeling from, say, a 619 - which is amazing in a different kind of way, as the 619 is robust and sporty to the core. This one feels like it would also take anything you can throw at it, but with an elegance that few others possess.As for the 5k posts, my sincere thanks to the TRF family - Steve, moderators, forum sponsors and, especially, all the friends that I have had the privilege to make over the years. This is a truly unique community.
