Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

The 3100Y is running fantastic and wears super well. I actually used it to check the time of my GMT Master, which is running crazy accurate like 0.5sec / day. One slight issue I had was that the screws holding the band on both sides of the 3100Y were a little rattly when I moved my wrist in certain ways. Normally it probably wouldn't bother me because most metal bracelets have a little jangle to them (except the Rolex) but this just sounded so cheap. I did a little digging and as I suspected, the fit of the screw tube to the metal sleeve was not as close as it was on my last two Protreks. Instead of rolling the dice and sending it back again, I did a little quick surgery:



I took some plumber tape cut to the length of the screw tube, and then cut the tape in half to give it a "coating" of the tape. Anything thicker than that really and it was bunching up and not allowing the screw tube to slide back into the sleeve. After wrapping the tape around the screw tube lengthwise (like rolling a cigarette) and carefully inserting it back in to the collar, no more rattling! Easy fix!

That's way less surgery than Joey is getting started on today though! I won't spoil his update but he should have some exciting stuff with his Seiko "Sea Urchin" project coming
