Hands-on with the Void V02
Not every watch that strikes our fancy is a rugged tool watch or a minimalist German dress watch. No, sometimes curious, quirky watches grab our fancy. Watches that aren't necessarily part of the larger watch tradition. Watches one might find in a museum shop or boutique fashion store. While these watches might not satisfy the horological cravings of the diehard WIS, they do grant insight into other concepts of what a watch can be. Often, if one is willing to loosen their own boundaries of what a watch should look like, or how a watch can be read, these unique, art/design watches can be very enjoyable to wear and own, if only on occasion.Void is a brand that fits into this category.

Clean, at times minimal and at times energetic, their watches range from fun, plastic, inexpensive digital watches, to

Crown Came Off Seamster Professional PO
Was setting date and time after not having worn it for a few days. Felt like I couldn't get it to seat when I was screwing it back in after setting the time. I wasn't using excessive force at all, but the crown just ended up coming off. Can anyone let me know what happened/what I need to do? Thanks!

Leaning towards a planet ocean
I dig the contemporary look and reading about the 8500 movements seem to be pointing me towards the omega po 2011 when they come out. I cannot seem to find much info on the 8500 movement. But looking at both the rolex sub and the po, I like the way the po looks and feels. Funny since I was leaning towards a sub initially. Now it looks like the orange basel po caught my attention.
