Has anyone ever had problems with their spring bars? I have a Ti Khuraburi and I have had one spring bar pop out three times now. One time my watch fell about 4 feet face down onto the floor. Thankfully it was okay. I have all the tools to put the spring bar back in but I am not sure why it keeps popping out. Anyone else have any issues? I give the band a good tug and it does not budge at all but after a few days it sometimes pops out. I am thinking of just replacing it. Thoughts?

When you have your purchase code does it let you only buy 1 or could you buy a couple watches?

I was hoping for a Togiak code would become available but so far no luck. Guess maybe next year when it comes around

I have a expedition UTC I bought second hand. It has the compass bezel. I would rather it have the 12 hour. Will they swap these if I send it back. It looks like it's a bear of a project to do yourself even if I had the bezel.

San Martin, Heron, Phorcydes, Long Island, Addiesdive and other watch brands have announced that they are being affected by the NH and Miyota movement supply shock; some of these brands are having to increase their prices or switch to other movements.

Heron is keeping the price for a final run, but in 2027 will have to raise their prices by 12%

Reason: Seiko has tightened third-party allocation and increased wholesale pricing for the NH lineup to prioritize its own internal watch production and reposition the calibers.

For those of you who have ordered Helms recently, were there any price increases? I'm assuming Matt has already secured the stock for this next set of drops but will need to adjust accordingly eventually if the situation doesn't improve.

Curious when the next release will be coming out or a place where I could possibly buy one now.

I gave up a vanuatu ti last week. Looking for the expedition and the scout.
