Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
Dear all



Finally, after 6 months from my previous hoot, I'm granted to buy another watch by my CO :lol:



Have been eyeing on a few watches in the $300 range and decided on a Sardine; bought it at K2 today.



Here are some pics of my new watch, you are welcome to post your Sardines too.











will do some closed-up shots tomorow.

The rest of us will be wasting water. But Chris usually puts water to good use in his shots! Haha! Enjoy your new toy Chris!
Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!

hmm, since my watch is black, I think the original black shroud is fine.

Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
Just an update on the watch.



I've been wearing the Sardine daily since day 1. While on the wrist, the watch runs about -2 or -3 secs and if I put it face-up on the table, it gains back 2 or 3 secs.

Right now after face-up, I'm at +- o sec! Fantastic really!

Seiko 4R36 is a great movement. Extreme value for money.

Totally agree! Your shots are sensational. Made your Sardine "come alive" like a living thing with a heartbeat.

What camera did you use? Sensational!
Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
for the closed up I used a Nikon D700 , Tokina 100mm macro lens and some extension tubes. Actually should have used the D90 instead to have more magnification.
Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!

Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
nice! i saw that at k2 too. was slightly tempted by the sardine but i ended up with the monster. hah
Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
just found another "flaw" on my sardine beside the mis-aligned chapter ring.



The hour hand is out of alignment as in it is slightly ahead of time. When I wind the watch to exactly 12 o'clock, the hour hand sticks out to the right and not centrally position with the rest of the hands.



I guess this is a small fix which Mr Goh can help me fix.



I wonder any other owners have such problem?
