Just a tad bit larger than our GRAN PRIX only lah... but higher.

At least this one have a respectable Water Resistant grade @ 100m. Makes it fit as a sports piece.

This one will be the next racing theme chronograph from STEINHART, standard catalogue item, not L.E., as standard ELABORE grade 7750 is going to be employed. According to RIKER of WUS...

I read online people use the green scotch brite pad to scrub softly along the brushed finish, but like not very convincing leh.
Re: Racing Themed Watches
I've seen a pen like tool that has a kind of brush tip that is meant for removing scratches on brushed surfaces.

Re: Racing Themed Watches
Wont la, i actually baby it quite a lot :D just that the other time my gf asked me to hold on to her watch while she wash the dishes, i tried to be funny and wore it next to my GP chrono on my wrist, then the crown of her watch kept scratching against my GP chrono without me knowing until i took her watch off after like 2 hours. By then already too late, damage is done...

Titanium is soft right ?

Erm... TITANIUM tougher?

Physical qualities of titanium make it a preferable material used by automobiles, aerospace, jewelry and many other industries. It has been known for its high strength and toughness, durability and low density, and ability to withstand high and low temperatures. The corrosion resistance and biological compatibility of titanium are another two attributes very useful in a variety of applications like surgical implants etc. it is precious and costly when compared to steel. Steel is corrosive, rusts, stains, and is heavier than titanium. Steel’s density is 7.85 g/cm3, and titanium has 56% that of steel.

Re: Racing Themed Watches
Titanium is a very unique metal. It,s soft but very strong. And if u hold 2 pieces tgt fr long enuf n tight enuf, the 2 pieces will fuse :) it has "self healing" capabilities. Which makes it such a exotic material

Lol. Ya. Learnt abt it during my mountain biking days. I was using a titanium frame, seat with titanium rails, titanium seat post, etc. Aft many years, the headset, seat post, etc. those parts where titanium n other metals were tightly bonded, took a hell lot of effort to take apart. Back then i didn,t know, but There,s ppl who use titanium anti-seize stuff bef putting these on :)

Re: Racing Themed Watches

"Ed.YEO"

[quote]Hello,



just getting back from vacation, the purchase of RACETIMER was really only a matter of form

Last week by the pool at the hotel and browsed a little in there and seen the Platform Forum Introduction of the RACETIMER

Spontaneously, I fell in love with the blue version with titanium bracelet and decided to fish like this in Augsburg, right after the holiday spot.

Via the optical near to Tudor certain products need not be discussed at this clock, it plays absolutely no role for me but

Since I already own two of the titanium band Stone Hart with the Ocean GMT Pepsi and the Apollon Chrono and am convinced of the quality and workmanship so long as no consideration was necessary phase



So Saturday night came home, unpacked Sunday and do the laundry, meanwhile looked whether said clock is not sold out, and the same Monday morning, got into the car and drove the nearly 100KM to Augsburg.

This was my third direct pickup in Augsburg and the Steinhart team and Hr. Steinhart themselves were once again very, very nice and helpful



Anyone who has the opportunity should take advantage of this once and really look at the watch live locally.

In the original watches with the images on the Steinhart site are not really compare, and look much valent and beautiful.



Hr. Steinhart has once again really taken a lot of time for us and also equal to the titanium band set me fits.

Then there was some small talk and even a prototype still in development to see clock

To my question what would the cost the blue leather strap with folding clasp extra came the reply: I put them for free!

Additionally there was two bottles of "Steinhart Williams liqueur" on top!



Again, again, a huge thank you to all the team and Mr. Steinhart Steinhart himself!

I definitely will shortly come a fourth time



Satisfied and with a bulging bag of Steinhart left my girlfriend and I to the store and even spent a lovely afternoon in the city of Augsburg before we had to go home again.



Zuzulegen shortly FYI, who plays with the idea of ​​a RACETIMER should strike quickly, according to Hr. Steinhart are down to a few copies of all Sold Out

I agree such long drives (even long distance running) can be therapeutic, depends on whether he is an impatient person(to get to the destination asap) or a chillax dude.. sometimes the process and journey of getting something is more rewarding than the item itself.



anyway back to topic, I like heuer vintage rally style watches,also the under appreciated Yema rally chronos.

Initially i was quite tempted, especially when i see the term "COSC Certified" stated in the project introduction... then when i look further, 28XX + DD Chrono module... i stopped letting the greedy thoughts take over my sensibility... :lol:
