how to remove stem?

I have a Skagen 956XLTBB that I am trying to remove the stem from so I can remove the rest and fix a dial issue.

Unsure what I need to do to remove the stem completely.

Brand logos can ruin the entire look of a watch

Poorly designed or poorly colored brand logos can ruin the entire watch.

The logo has to match the style and colors of the dial well. If it goes off from the color palette or is too intrusive it makes the watch look terrible and cheap, no matter the price or brand.

Tag Heuer having a red logo on a blue dial watch makes it look like a cheap Pepsi can logo.

Just because you’ve made a name for yourself doesn’t mean you can just throw a slop version of your logo on a potential nice watch without making it look worse without it.

color matched rubber strap

Tried to get as close as I could to the indices’ colors with a more casual rubber strap. I think I got close enough. Even has a titanium deployant clasp on the back to match the case.

this beauty arrived today

Never heard of this brand until about a week ago since they aren’t as prevalent in the US. So happy I did because this watch is gorgeous.

waist level viewfinder

Grabbed the Chinotechs I had posted about a few days ago. Overall impressed with the quality and clarity of the glass. Frame lines are pretty accurate for the 40mm version I got. You can see the lens in the bottom of the viewfinder but it’s outside the frame lines. Definitely would be an issue for bigger lenses.

Philadelphia Cycling Classic

Some shots from the race. Bottom of the Wall and heading down Main Street to the turn before the Wall.

40mm f2 finally arrived

Ordered from B&H on July 25th when it was back ordered. Got an email this past Sunday saying they didn’t know when it would be restocked or shipped. Got another email Monday saying it was shipped and arrived at my door today. Gotta love B&H.

older architecture in this city is beautiful

I love just wondering around this city and seeing the older homes and buildings that stand out in the neighborhoods. I feel like there are so many hidden gems in this city. Makes me feel lucky to live here.

overcast day

Not used to using a zoom lens, but liking the 18-40mm kit lens for the time being before the 40mm prime gets restocked.

your first Leica

I’ve been a photography hobbyist for years. Used old Minolta digital, Sony, got a new Lumix, dabbled in film with a K1000 and have a bunch of old film cameras from my grandfather that some work and some do not.

Leica has always been “the” brand, obviously for a reason if you cut out the hype and red dot clout.

I’m curious to know what was the Leica that got you into the Leica world? Why did you get that one (other than it was what you could afford). What drew you into the brand and what did you discover once you had one?

Apologies if this type of post is not allowed. It’s always been a grail to own one just for camera history sake. I find cameras as not just tools but also like the history behind them, similar to classic cars for some people.
