Few of y’all have been asking about it so here goes. This is a piece meticulously done by a good friend u/Ghost_Chrono , and if you need any vintage pieces commissioned, go shoot him a DM. You will be in good hands.
The Watch:
JK Mid Case (Modded)
JK Dial (Modded)
Swiss Hands
Custom Fat Font Ghosted BezelJuice Bezel
Rebrushed Upgraded Bracelet
2836-2 COSC Regulated Movement @ -2s/d
which one should I take with me?
ARF 126710GRNR or Custom 1680 Red Submariner
and we're wondering what are some must see and must visit places in the winter. We've went to the 12 Apostles before and some people are really recommending activities like the Puffin Billy (is it worth the travel?), and if any Singaporeans can confirm whether our Driver's License allows us to drive there. For locals, do you think it's worth renting a car there?
Appreciate all the advice and recommendations in advance!
and I’ve come across multiple videos of people getting straps to change and spice things up a bit.
Personally I’ve been thinking of 3 options:
- NATO straps (unsure what colour and brand to go with)
- Rubber Straps (same here)
- Leather strap (i’m thinking the Dark Brown with Silver hardware on rafflesdials)
If anyone has recommendations that they stand by, do let me know below or in DMs and ofcourse send them pics over!!
Thanks in advance!

You’re probably wondering, “Isn’t this the same photo of the same watch?”
Nope.
Same watch though, but I love the little nuances to this piece. The open ‘6’, over magnified cyclops, red Sub, aged hands, creamy/yellow lume, faded bezel.
Actually if you zoom in close enough, you’ll see scratches on the crystal. The ones I created trying to get the adhesive off when it arrived. You zoom in even further, you’ll see faint speckles and scratches on the bezel probably unintentionally done by Ghost while he was aging it.
It’s so surreal looking down at my wrist the past few days. I even visited a high end vintage store in town and my goodness the similarities are insane. Of course, mine looks better. 😏
Damn, what a dream. Anyways here's the build by u/Ghost_Chrono
Firstly, my deepest gratitude to the one and only u/Ghost_Chrono for this wonderful piece. I've spent the whole night just admiring it and thinking of how to show my appreciation to Ghost. God knows how many times I've erased and re-written this post.
The Watch: Rolex 1680 Red Submariner w/ Ghost Bezel
Life hasn't been easy lately but this watch given by Ghost serves as a reminder that no matter what, things always gets better. We are never defined by whatever shitshow we're stuck in, but our attitude towards whatever shit that's thrown at us.
I'm gonna be wearing this piece most often now. If anyone's wondering, no, I'm still in one of the hardest days of the year but I'm still swinging at whatever life throws at me. But I know sooner or later, as all things do, this rough patch too shall pass.
Have a great weekend everybody!
How’s this? I used to HATE watches and got into it the past year or so. I think I need a Chrono
Let me start off by saying well done again to u/Ghost_Chrono and the guys for creating and upkeeping a great community. Just like that we’re about to hit 9000 🤯🍻. We tend to overlook the small things in our daily lives in the midst of all that’s happening so here are some things I’m grateful for:
- A healthy body
- A sharp and functioning mind
- A partner that cares and loves me
- A family that always has my back
- A band of brothers that is always there for me
- A roof over my head
- A soft bed
- Cleaning potable water
- Access to delicious food at affordable prices
- Clean fresh air
- The privilege to be actually posting on reddit instead of being on survival mode

I have a 916 gold pendant that was given to me by my godmother when I was a baby. That’s pretty much the whole story behind it.
I’m torn because on one hand, gold prices are good and it does have real value. On the other hand, it’s one of those childhood/family pieces that I’ve had for basically my whole life, even though I don’t really wear it or think about it much.
For anyone who has sold childhood gold or jewellery with sentimental value, did you regret it? Or was it better to just cash out and use the money for something more practical?
Would appreciate honest thoughts, should I sell it, keep it, or maybe only sell it if I really need the money?
