r/nixonwatches

I’m loving the watch, I didn’t expect it to be so large in person.

Its a bit more lurid than the photo suggests, I think I'll be toning down the yellow but overall pleased with it. Got a few more projects in the works, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, fun experimenting either way :D

10 years ago I snagged the Ranger 45, (02/350) when I had much smaller wrists. I have since lost that linkage, and would really like to bring this back to a daily driver. I’m struggling to find the matte black original linkage I had removed. Any help is appreciated!

Still loving this piece after so many years.

Is this Sentry watches real or a Replica? Are there any obvious ways to tell?

Something that is really easy to do is add colour to the engraved text - I just fill in with enamel paint, let it dry to the touch (maybe around 45 mins is enough), then wipe around with lighter fluid to clean off the excess. No need for any precision, just don't clean off the excess until the enamel paint has dried sufficiently within the engraving itself.

I took the safe option of using red here, to go with the black/red stealth feel, but something like fluro green would be a bold option, pop out against the red display :D

The variants with the red border, I ain't got. Priorities you know? For sure, I have my eye on the Gold SS and the Black Multicam. Got to pace myself ... :D

Trying out a Multicam Tropic band on the Sith Trooper Regulus. Kinda like it but maybe I have loose wiring in the brain... I'll give it a few wears and see... I like to swap as many of the removable parts as possible to create a different vibe now and again...
