I’m posting this for anyone who might have the same issue at some point, it is very easily repairable.

Last week I made a post here looking for advice on repairing my Canon P’s viewfinder. At first I was very nervous that the actual beam splitter had been irreparably damaged, but thankfully I learned that early serial Canon P variations have a separate, glued on piece of glass protecting the beam splitter. Later variations do not, unfortunately.

To replace the broken glass, I used picture frame glass, cut to size with a tungsten carbide glass cutter. Sanded the edges, and glued it in place with UV resin. This worked quite well and I’m beyond impressed with the results. The viewfinder is brighter/clearer than I think it’s ever been.

Thanks to everyone who gave their input, the videos on YouTube left out a lot of details on the beam splitter assembly, and some of you helped me understand it better. I also got the picture frame glass idea from someone on another post.

I have a 6.75 inch wrist. Do you think I can pull it off? It’s very comfortable but feel like it might look too big to the average on-looker. I don’t want to be the “big watch guy” but I’ve always loved how the turtle looks and at the same time can’t get over the feeling it may look too big.

6 months of ownership and I continue to be amazed by the quality and versatility of this design for the price.

One year into collecting, and I’ve kept things pretty simple: a classic Casio, a clean PRX, and a tried and true Seiko diver. Nothing too flashy, just pieces I actually enjoy wearing. Each one has its own lane, and together they feel like a solid little start to the collection. What would you recommend I buy next?

Picked up this King turtle the other day and am on the hunt for a high quality stainless bracelet that will match the quality of the watch, and has a durable clasp with micro adjustments. I’ve heard of uncle straps, but I’ve after some digging I’ve seen some iffy reviews about quality control and value for the money. I need something as robust as the watch itself. Any recommendations are very appreciated. Thanks y’all!!
