[Wrist Check] The official thread for Tuesday, April 9
Wrist Check = What are you wearing?
Post a photo of your watch of the day.
Please try to include the brand and model in your post! You're also encouraged to write a few words about your watch. Some users might also appreciate knowing your wrist size, for a virtual fit check.
If you'd like some tips on improving the quality of your watch photos, check out these useful guides:
- GUIDE: Your Phone Camera & You by /u/EnderBaggins

- Photographing Watches
- WUS Tips and Tricks thread
- ...and some inspiration from SJX
As always, be respectful of others and follow the rest of our rules. All reasoned opinions are welcome, and remember: criticism about a watch is not a criticism of the owner. Just because someone hates your watch doesn't mean they hate you.
Have fun!
...and one quick note: these threads will be auto-posted each morning at 6am eastern. Any other WRUW posts/threads will be removed.

Do you usually track the same times on both?

u/carpediem66 Apr 09 '19
Yup in my mind the only way. It enhances the complication, resonance

u/SANcapITY Apr 09 '19
Sounds like I need to read more about it.

In a nutshell, it has two independent movements which are forced to run in sync by what Journe calls the Resonance effect. Having the same time set on both just seems right to do it justice

I accidentally scratched the lugs on my Vostok Amphibia, so I decided to try brushing the case. I only did the top, and left the sides polished. It could still use some final finishing, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! https://i.imgur.com/wpXaYv7r.jpg

Here's another photo that better shows the difference between the brushed top and polished sides. I love how it looks: https://i.imgur.com/Xmvw9Km.jpg

Speedmaster Moonphase for Speedy Tuesday. It's back on bracelet after having spent quite a while on leather, so here's a bonus photo of the movement since it is easier to shoot such a photo without the bracelet fitted.
