M.T.O ZA2 list, (watch project#2)

[Zed]

I changed over to the James Bond strap as the metal one was digging into my wrist.  This is much better!

i think due to feedback ill be using the nato's more on future projects, i wear the bracelt on the ZA2 most days and find it ok but generaly use the ZA1 with the nato as well and it is more comfy for every day use,  but of course depends on the indervidual as most have been ok with the SS bracelet,

I just got the watch in. Love the presentation, and the watch is a real looker. My problem is that the bracelet is too tight, just as I feared from the start.

chako have you got monster arms  ive got over 8inch arms and i still removed 2 links, ok no problem mate ill send you out some links at the end of the week 

[Chako]

That would be great...thanks. When it comes to metal bracelets I always need 2 extra links.

I don’t mind paying for them if you have them.

My wrist has a circumference of 9". I can just close the latch on the watch, but it is too tight to wear or to move my hand up or down. What can I say, I am big boned.

I got a slip to come pick it up at the post office today so I'm excited to go get it!

[Chako]

Only once when I was much younger...the other guy didn't much like getting hit with the post. 

But I can honestly say that I have never broken a bone until recently. 

[Zed]

You want me to mark it as a gift?  What value?

Might take me a while to wrap it properly.  Need more bubble wrap.

[gunga]

The valves are all glued on these, right Zed?

[Zed]

The valves are all glued on these, right Zed?

there not glued, on my first test of these cases i found they leaked on the valve and as i cant gurantee the depths you would need a HE valve i filled it with epoxy resin, on these cases i used jb weld liquid metal to fill the whole on the in side to make them water tight, but i cant gurantee to any more than 3atm although i have used them to the bottom of the deep end of my local pool

My ZA2 stopped working this morning 

[Zed]

My ZA2 stopped working this morning 

   did you where it all the day before, and was it after you woke up, try winding it on the crown , and let me know how it goes, these all was run for 3 days and was fine, but i guess with all the little cogs etc anything can go wrong, let me know mate

[John]

Mines been running non stop since I got it 

[sawman]

I've been wearing it even to sleep sometimes but not last nite and when I went to put it on a few hours ago it had stopped.   I shook the watch and the second hand moved a little and then it stopped.  It seems the power reserve is not being charged properly/normally.

[Chako]

As far as I know, there are no batteries in Automatic watches. They run off a main spring that usually has enough energy for around aprox 2 days run time once fully wound. This means they should hold enough potential energy to keep time over night. There is usually a slipping clutch mechanism that prevents the main spring from being over wound.

[sawman]

I've had several automatic watches (Rolex, TAG Heuer, Seiko) and the power reserve will usually give you a good day of inactivity (if needed) and keep running.  A few hours, however, is unacceptable.  I'm trying not to get too "Wound Up" over the whole thing
