Loving the knife so far. Snap is just as good as when I got it. Not really a half stop, but there is something there that slows it down.. it's a great knife overall and takes a good edge(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170708/711c554ae1906758640673178a217b6c.jpg)How you liking that knife so far?

Do not use superglue on it! It will ruin not just the movement, but the entire watch rendering it completely non-repairable, and that's if you don't screw up the use of superglue. A decent watch maker can fix that quickly and the cost won't be high. It's relatively simple but requires the proper hand setting tools and training on how to use them.I repaired that issue on multiple watches myself.That is one of my fav watches, I do have one of the tools to take the back off, but I don’t think I can do it.. it does need a battery along withabout 5 others, I just don’t even want to know how much it would cost.. :(

The trick is finding one locally that actually does the work on watches himself that knows what he's doing. Fitting hands to movements is one of the first and most essential skills learned. There are ways of repairing the hand and the hole in it that mounts it to the movement pinion that are simple and easy to accomplish, if it even needs rework and not just being pressed back on. Hands are not supposed to be permanently mounted, but friction fit onto the pinions. Otherwise they would not be removable to allow removing the dial and working on the movement. A mall or chain jewelry store is not the place to go for this kind of service. The independent jewelry stores with their own watch repair on premises are the places to start looking and the first question should be whether or not they do this kind of work in-house or send it out to a repair service, the latter of which you don't want.

The place I would take it where I live (much too far from you) was a Rolex dealer for decades until Rolex got too snooty about where their dealers were located and yanked it (you're not in the kind of demographic we want to serve). One of the reasons I'll never own a Rolex for any reason. Rolex is all about promoting a snobbish brand image that blatantly brandishes ostentatious wealth. They're a Swatch Group dealer now with several of the Swatch Group brands, as well as a Seiko and Fossil dealer. They sell a wide range from rather high end products to things like Fossil. They do custom jewelry fabrication in addition to full service watch work in-house, mechanical and quartz including complete overhauls of vintage pieces. Their head watchmaker has fabricated custom wrist watches from scratch. Prices for jewelry and watch repair are not exorbitant, they're very reasonable. This is the kind of place you want to find and it's likely where you live that it shouldn't be too difficult to find one. Resetting a hand is a very simple task for a modestly experienced and trained real watchmaker. One of the very first skills they learn as it's essential to reassembling a watch after having worked on its movement.

It's the "second" generation of 3. Model up is quad sensor (adds depth) but there are apparently some common issues with hand motors breaking. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180602/8b0a10f900b70615a06c96f0d926f8ce.jpg)

Thank you. It's my favourite watch.
It's an early Infantry - 24695, the European version with date only.
I put in a custom Stingray skin strap on it.

I didn't have to change the date this month, but it managed to gain one second last month anyway. :facepalm:

Yeah the Seiko 5 is on my short list. I wear my G to work every day and haven't picked up an auto yet because I'm not sure it'll get enough steady wear to keep itself wound.

Recently did some engine repair work, and my watch, esp. the strap got a good amount of grease and grime on it. I took a small nylon scrub brush to it with dish soap and it came out like new, pretty happy about that. :tu:

After reading those instructions for 4hrs I did figure out one setting, but the hands are still off by 4hr-4min, so it’s not just a time zone / day light savings, I mean I could just change time zones and make it only off by 4min, but then knowing my luck it would then finally receive the time signal then put it ahead 4hrs, so I sent invicta an email asking what to do..

Hey CLOWN, I’m sure you’ll like this..
I got an email back from invicta and they were sooo sorry, asking me to send it in, but in order to do so I have to send a check for $28 and that only to cover their shipping it back, nothing to do with what it might cost to fix it! To top that they also wanted paperwork on it, like dude, I got it as a gift! Anyway I kinda put 2 and 2 together after reading that link you posted and had an idea, I ended up taking that casing off the back and removed the battery(so easy, i tank I’ll just do them myself from now) but since it was cleared I could start from the beginning in which got what looks to be everything on point! It is not atomically set, it’s off by 30sec but I’m not pushing it, I’ll live with it for now, if it does go to set itself, all it will end up doing is spin ahead the 30sec, now if it was 30 sec ahead it would have to spin 11h-59m-30sec in order to set! So I’m good for now! Watch the video, it’s just 10sec but you can watch how it sets itself..

Well, she’s set to atomic time, last night it must have received a signal cause it’s to the sec on my other watch and clock! I did do a little fix on the clasp, one of the pins that went through I noticed was broke, so I found something of the same size then took a mini ballpeen hammer and made it all nice and neat, you’d never know! So I guess I’ll be switch wearing between this one and my Casio, :)Update:

Early Omega Automatic Seamaster Calendar. One of my favorite watches.
Nice one GLBM. :like:
I have my grandfather's retirement watch, an Omega Automatic but not the Seamaster unfortunately. It has the old flexible metal band with no clasp which is a real hair puller. Also the stainless back must have a high nickel content, which gives me a rash after 15-20 min. :-\ Still runs great! Funny how much watches have grown, the early Omegas were pretty compact, this one I have is no more than 35mm which seems to be average for that era (60's), but my INOX is 43mm, which is not even on the large side of average nowadays. Yours might be a little bigger having the date wheel, I think the early Seamasters were larger. :tu:

Yours might be a little bigger having the date wheel, I think the early Seamasters were larger. :tu:
That is a nice Vic watch. I love the color scheme quite a lot. :)
If you would like, maybe post a pic of the Omega. I have helped a few people pic out bands that are more appropriate to being contemporary. For example, a classic nato style band may siut your Omega and give it the appearance of being a little wider. The nato type band would also keep the case back from touching your arm. :)
Those twist-o-flex bands should have been outlawed years ago. I have tried wearing them and they just pinch and scratch my arm. I don't know how old-timers wear them. :think:

Thank you, twiliter!Early Omega Automatic Seamaster Calendar. One of my favorite watches.
Nice one GLBM. :like:
I have my grandfather's retirement watch, an Omega Automatic but not the Seamaster unfortunately. It has the old flexible metal band with no clasp which is a real hair puller. Also the stainless back must have a high nickel content, which gives me a rash after 15-20 min. :-\ Still runs great!

I don't remember ever seeing my grandfather not wearing his Omega, with the nasty twist-o-flex, but it didn't seem to bother him. When it was handed down to my dad, he never wore it either, probably for the same reasons I don't now. My dad had his own watch (a cheap Timex as I recall), which he fitted to leather straps with little snap attachments, his skin reacted badly with metal too, worse than me. I thought about getting a NATO style for it, but I'll probably leave it as is, the crystal is already fairly hazy and some of the gold plating has worn away. It still looks nice, but it's a dress watch more or less, and I don't have much need for that. A field strap wouldn't be appropriate for it because I'd be tempted to wear it places I shouldn't! :D

I sure appreciate the quality of the old automatics, this Omega has the old bumper wind which is so sensitive that whenever I take it out of my keepsake box, it starts running immediately, even after many months of sitting. I don't know if it was ever serviced, but I know he wore it every day for 18 years.

It is strange how many variants they are. Mine is from the mid 1990s I believe. 25j movement.
The titanium ones are sweet! The only titanium watch I have is a gruen chronograph. I need to get a battery for that one. :ahhh
Your bumper automatic Omega is quite uncommon. A nice piece of horological history. :cheers:

I like the hypoallergenic aspect of the titanium, and the light weight. Vic also makes a carbon INOX, but with a stainless back it defeats the purpose, as it's also slightly heavier than the titanium model (and uglier ;)). Not sure why they went that route, as the bezel is carbon, which is no harder to manufacture than a back. Seems like a shortcut, but maybe I am missing something. :tu:
Post by: gerleatherberman on July 09, 2018, 10:15:19 PM
I have a watch made of wood that I bought years ago, so that is another allergy alternative. It is made by Tense. Mine has since gotten too moist and the bezel is cracked. :facepalm:
Today is something different. Went to look around in the watch boxes and figured I break out the Automatic Vostok Amphibia. Russian made with a very unique look. :)
It is not stainless, so I put it on a vintage style lug strap.

Finally called Movado to get a quote on replacing the battery in my 800 Series Chronograph. I could buy a nice Timex for what they wanted to charge. I just decided to go for it and do it myself. The stories about case pressure and one-time seals is a load of smurf-dung. It is just a fancy screw-off case back and 395 battery. Only finicky thing was the retainer and screw, but I stayed patient and changed my Movado battery for $6 myself. Saved about $60(they also said it would be another $95 if the case seal needed to be changed.... $0.15 o-ring). ::)
I love this watch, but I don't recommend Movado as a brand. Their watches are phenomenally well-made, but their customer service is way below-par(cost-wise).
Anyway. TL-DR.Pics.

Handy for notifications and alerts, but totally not worth its asking price, and with a battery life of barely 8 hours, it’s not ideal for traveling or spending any extended time outdoors or anywhere with no access to a power outlet.

Very handsome, Gerleatherberman. What's the story on that beauty?Thank you very much, Myron!
I am guessing you mean the Universal?
Quite an odd watch and acquired in an odd circumstance. I know a lady who inherited a bunch of vintage wrist watches. He was a watchmaker. Most of the watches need a lot of help, and the Universal was no exception. I bought about twenty watches from her. The man did have a slip of paper saying it had been serviced about 12 years ago. The crystal is glass and was absolutely scratched to the point the dial looked bad. Usually an acrylic crystal is a 1,2,3 polish with brasso. Not glass though. I took it apart to check the movement and saw the dial was immaculate(hands are fair, but lumis isn't perfect. 70+yo watch, so that isn't a deal breaker. I sanded the glass down with 180 grit Emory paper, rough polished on the cloth wheel and finished with a hand polish with brasso.
I don't have any information outside of that. The band isn't original, but seems perfect for it.
Here are a couple of photos of the crystal work. :ahhh
Thank you for the interest, myron! :)

I put on the Universal Geneve this morning and did some quick research after taking my EDC photos. The caliber 261 15J movement is somewhat rare and kind of desirable in the mid low-end vintage watch spectrum. The only other watches I found with the 261 were your standard round cases, and usually gold plated. The steel square-case is likely to be the best watch with that movement from what I can tell. Circa 1943 or so.
I decided to give some wrist time to the watch I worked on half the night, last night. A Girard Perregaux Gyromatic Automatic 17J. Started by removing the movement and scraping out the disintegrated sealCleaned the dial/hands (has some patina spotting left, but turned out fine ), polised the crystal, put a new leather band on, and gave the case a good cleaning.
Photos below. :)

The only nice thing to atomic is like no matter what you know you got the right time, your not even off by a few sec.. even the DST and travel doesn’t always work especially for travel, cause even if you go to a diff time zone you have to adjust it, just because you crossed the line doesn’t change it..

Check Opinel out when you can. They have many different sizes and a few styles. They carry fairly well and are so light weight, you'll forget it is in your pocket. :tu:
I recently got a #12 and love it. It is a big one though. The No.8 seems most popular. Might be a good first Opinel. Go with the Inox blade though(in my opinion. Many will disagree though). The Carbon blades require more upkeep. :ahhh

It’s a radio signal, the one in US is out of Colorado, the rest are spread across the world. They are a pain cause if you adjust it come 2-4am it will readjust to what your timezone its set for, that’s why it should have a 2nd time, the first one you leave alone, but then when traveling you set that one because it won’t change back, then when back to your norm time you just switch back ready to go.. at least that’s what I thought I read in the manual when I got it..Do you travel often, JR?

I’ve wanted this citizen for so long, it’s analog, solar, the hours are in numbers rather then just marks, along with min, and it’ has both date and day, the only thing it’s not is atomic.. then it would be perfect in my book, I’m sure there’s one out there but then I’m sure the price would be waaaaaay up there..

Great watch! I recently got one myself. I wasnt thrilled with the strap as the large holes wouldn't allow the right adjustment on my wrist. I put a leather NATO on it and now its perfect. Enjoy!

That’s one thing that kept me thinking, congrats!I’ve wanted this citizen for so long, it’s analog, solar, the hours are in numbers rather then just marks, along with min, and it’ has both date and day, the only thing it’s not is atomic.. then it would be perfect in my book, I’m sure there’s one out there but then I’m sure the price would be waaaaaay up there..

Thought I was going to wear a diver today, but felt like something a bit lighter today. Victorinox Quartz watch was worn today. :)
I saw a review a while back by the Urban Gentry. He basically stated, these are the very watches, that you would want to wear in a post-apocolyptic scenario.

Pulled my Deep Blue NATO from the watch box. You know what they say: "Don't be afraid of the dark.".That is a classy diver. Coin bezel, day/date, crown at 4, clean dial and automatic. Checks a lot of boxes. :) . Great choice of band too.. :drool:

I’ve been looking cause I soooo want that citizen, yet that’s eco and I kinda like some of these divers which are automatic, now each have their downers cause the eco’s are still battery, it’s just a self charge so they can go bad, and an automatic is a spring, it gets wound up as you do whatever, yet it can also lose its tension, other downer is it can be to it’s max and will only run for like 2days if you do nothing, in like a solar charge eco which can go months without anything..
What’s everybodys thoughts?

Post by: gerleatherberman on September 01, 2018, 04:00:55 AM
It is a matter of taste and preference. Some watch-people tend to consider automatics and mechanicals to be more "genuine" to horological legacy. Technology-people will appreciate the complex circuit of the solar capacitance cell drive system.
I am a bit of both, so I can't say which is better for certain. However, with that said, I would choose automatic over solar, just because of my fascination with mechanical systems. :tu:

I was torn between that Citizen Eco and a Seiko 5 automatic. My budget allowed for something in their relative price range. In the end the deciding factor was the fact that I wasnt going to wear either of them to work and I don't typically put one on when I get home unless I'm going back out. I wanted something that would still be running after 3-5 days of not being worn. That's why I chose the Eco. Plus my work watch is a Solar Atomic Gshock and ive been wearing that for years with no issues.
That being said, there is something super cool about the mechanics and movement of an automatic. I don't have one yet and I wouldnt wear it enough to to justify a really nice one but that Seiko 5 will likely be the next watch I purchase.
Post by: MadPlumbarian on September 01, 2018, 08:22:51 AM
Like mentioned before there’s really no reason to have the atomic, it’s just really a cool thought, so that pretty much just drops you to which way solar, automatic, or battery, and it’s pretty much looking now adays that batteries are just not cool since they have to be replaced so often besides that one watch that supposedly lasts 10yrs? So we’re back to automatic or solar, like you two said I think the mechanical part is way cooler, it just sucks that it’s not like a grandfather clock that can run for like a month after being set and the weights raised cause not everyday am I going to wear it. My only other thing is that citizen is the closest thing that comes to what I’m after, actual #’s as markers, both day/date, 5-55min next to the markers, and a somewhat heavy case which it doesn’t really have. That seiko has a baby version and the bezel is marked 5-55 rather then only a few numbers, but the face doesn’t have numbers, now put those two together and I’d have like the perfect watch! But which way automatic or solar, if I had that perfect of a watch I say automatic cause I don’t think I’d ever take the dang thing off!

this is gonna sound stupid ( but im used to that happening :D) i always looked at opinels as a kitchen knife , not really an edc. maybe its time to rethink it .
Check Opinel out when you can. They have many different sizes and a few styles. They carry fairly well and are so light weight, you'll forget it is in your pocket. :tu:
I recently got a #12 and love it. It is a big one though. The No.8 seems most popular. Might be a good first Opinel. Go with the Inox blade though(in my opinion. Many will disagree though). The Carbon blades require more upkeep. :ahhh
id probably prefer the carbon . i like carbon blades. i primarily use diamond stones , so i keep a good keen on my blades and touch up isnt a problem . thanks for the reccomendadtion

Jaragar day/date/month Automatic watch. Exhibition balance wheel and exhibition back. It is too big for my taste, but looks pretty good anyway. All dials actually work as they should. All buttons function to adjust the date stuff. I had expected fake sub-dials for $45. :ahhh

Work today, so serious beater watch was worn. Been using this as a work watch for over 10 years. I think this is the ninth band it's had.Divers make good beaters! I used to work at Lowe’s and I wore that one diver all the time, a few times I was moving shelving and smash, I’d be so afraid to look at it, and yet not even a scratch.. the one thing that I like is raised numbers on the bezel rather then just a flat color surface.

This one has been subject to everything under the sun. I am not sure how the mechanical movement has endured so much vibration and serious shocks. It does gain a few minutes a week now, but that is easily remedied. :)
This photo tells the story a bit better than the other.

Love my GX-56BB (Japanese release, blacked out version) from the first day I got it. I have literally worn it ever single day and put it through the paces. It’s performed flawlessly and I love that it is solar powered. The size is quite large by normal standards even with larger watches being “in style” for the past few years, but after the first day or two the size felt great and I do not even notice the size any more than any other G-Shock I own. The only watch that I think would kick this one off my wrist is the 2018 Rangeman. :drool: Now that’s one amazing, and expensive G-Shock that I would love to get my hands on!

It’s a nice watch, a little big but come on it’s cool! Even though it’s BIG it still weighs nothing compaired to like a divers watch, and of course it’s great that it’s solar,, my only thing is all this technology is getting a little carried away, it’s a watch, what do you really need in it, to tell time and maybe a timer/chronograph, and maybe an alarm, all this other stuff is getting a little carried away,, I’m kinda getting to the point that I’d rather go old school and get a automatic rather then digital,, which I’m looking into.. something that tells time, the day, and the date, anything else just go find a phone,Went big today, besides its drizzling out..

Timex weekender 40 with lakehouse leathers strapThe strap really takes that Timex to the next level. :like:
I've always felt, that the band choice is almost as important to a watch, as the watch itself. If the Timex had an old twist-o-flex, it wouldn't look very good. :ahhh

Definitely agree! Though, I'm not sure that a twist o flex looks good on anything :whistle:
This timex originally came with a leather nato style band. Not great quality leather, but not bad and it looked good. I swapped it straight away because I don't like nato style straps.
I know natos are nice in that you won't loose a watch if a spring bar fails, but I've always been a little paranoid that I would catch the strap on something and it wouldn't break before doing serious damage to my wrist or arm.
Post by: gerleatherberman on September 16, 2018, 06:37:15 AM
My personal take on two piece straps is this:
I take care to use beefy spring bars and add some CA thin to the glued areas if they don't look right(particularly the fold over that the spring bar goes through). But, I've found checking the strap integrity periodically helps prevent the watch from coming apart. :)

At least on that model, the keyboard cover shouldn't disintegrate with time. :hatsoff:Casio used reverse printed acrylic on the CA-53A. A nice touch to ensure it holds up. Like you said, it shouldn't disintegrate like the older models. :)

Love the vintage of this watch.
While I really like watches its not a rabbit hole I'll likely fall into. These two I got for a extremely cheap price. The Wenger still need work on the crystal. It was unreadable and now I can actually see what time it is. The Jessop is a mechanical watch I think is super neat. Needs a leather strap at some point. I like it and I try to wear it often.That is definitely a good thing. Watches are high maintenance and costly. Who knows how many more MTs I would have collected if I didn't keep feeding the watch hobby. :ahhh :D
Good job so far on the Wenger crystal. :)Those mineral crystals are a PITA to polish. Fortunately I've only had to polish one glass crystal recently, but it was a bear to do, even with buffing machines and compounds. :ahhh
The Jessop is cool. I haven't seen that particular brand, but anything in SS with incabloc is nice. :cheers:
Switched from the two piece nylon to a lake house leather strap. Looks nicer and more comfortableInteresting band there, gustophersmob. It looks like the watch should have come with it. :)

The atlas model has several strap options stock, including leather, nato style nylon, Cordura canvas style nylon, rubber and titanium. I originally got it on the Cordura canvas style and went through a few after market cotton canvas straps and a different leather style before this one. I honestly prefer cotton canvas for comfort, durability and water resistance, but I can't find a source for decent quality ones at a reasonable price (I was using ones sold by Time Factors in the UK but they stopped carrying them).
Honestly this watch is really just about perfect for me. The 38mm size works great on my small wrist, lightweight titanium and the ability to go with multiple straps. Love the lume and legibility of the dial and the 100M water resistance and screw down crown. Has a sapphire crystal option, though mine is only mineral. Also they are supposed to have phenomenal customer service, though I've not had to use it.
Still, my heart will always be with automatic or mechanical watches. So far, this is probably the closest I've found in terms of features and cost. Just can't seem to spend the money right now:

OH yeah, those are nice too! I've seen some of the colors go under $50 around black Friday. Certainly nicer than an equivalently priced timex :tu:
I'd kind of like a bracelet so I have the option in the summer, but the Seiko bracelet for that model isn't highly regarded. Though, honestly it would probably end up on a strap anyway

I'd have a hard time choosing if I were in the market for another watch. But, if push came to shove, I'd probably split for the Vic, since it would pair perfectly with a SAK/SwissTool. :like:

I've been wearing my Momentum Atlas the last several days, but yesterday my oldest daughter asked me if I could wear the watch she got me, so I'm happily back to the timex weekender 40.:like:
My favorite watch that I've owned, because it came from her.
I need to find one of those Timex watches. Sure breaks down the stereotypes of Timex watches.
Finally got new batteries installed yesterday. Wore the watch today at work. Such a small thin watch that I forgot I even had it on a few times during the day,Very nice, Chako! :like:
Was that your first battery swap?
Just for GLBM

I think of them like cars, you have to maintain them or they will let you down, but also think about the fact a car isn't expected to work for 5 years non-stop without breaking down.
I would recommend buying ONE decent watch and seeing how you get on with it. I don't have as many watches as some others do, but every watch I have has a story behind it or a reason for me buying it (other than the magpie factor, ooo look, it's shines, I want it).

Case back presses aren't hard to use. It has the skill level of a coloring book in my opinion. Most peole just don't know how to use the press, don't want to take the time to change the nylon discs, and/or don't have the right nylon discs that come with the press to do the job.

They are not buttons but bolts that hold the outer shroud over the watch. Probably why this watch has the nickname of "Frankenmonster".

I've been saying it was a 1967 Spaceview for a while. It is actually a 1964 model(M4 date code). I already knew that, but some wires got crossed, because another one of my Accutrons is a 1967 model. :facepalm:

No problems reading with daylight

I bought it several years ago after seeing the same type of watch in a digital format.
I'm old school so I like analogue faces, and I could not get the watch in Australia.
I had to buy it from Texas of all places.
Its an ABC watch
Altimeter, Barometer, Compass and yes they all work quite well.
It has a solar panel face so it will not need a new battery for quite a while.
Claimed accurate to 1 second a year, in fact I found it to be about 5 seconds a year (Should I demand a refund?)
It also has the ability to synchronise itself with an atomic clock signal when in a country with said atomic clock.
Australia don't have one, but this is to be expected, we still get our electricity delivered by horse and cart.
32 time zones, its fun watching the watch move forward or backward at the press of a couple f buttons
5 alarms, useless to me I cant hear them being partially deaf from industrial deafness
I can record my altitude climb
The watch has a barometer that helps me predict sudden weather changes, and it actually works.
Stop watch, of course with split lap capability
Timer
AND
It tells the time.
A little beaten up, but its used every day.

Will be wearing this on Sunday. The Invicta Grand Diver Automatic again. :)
Just curious, what are your thoughts on the invicta automatic divers? My local sam's club has an 8926 for $55, which seems like a great price, especially considering it has a Seiko movement.
I'm not 100% keen on the homage looks (or the look of the original submariner, really), but I'm wondering if its a good enough watch considering the small outlay of cash?

Thanks for your thoughts.
I'm not really into the styling of G-Shocks, after trying them a few times. Plus digital and plastic are on my "naughty" list ;)
The 8926 has a Seiko NH35 movement and 200M water resist, so I would trust it based upon what I've read, I think. I guess its possible they could screw up the water resistance, but the Seiko movement should be solid.

watches apart from telling the time :facepalm:

They're worth the money for sure. :tu:Will be wearing this on Sunday. The Invicta Grand Diver Automatic again. :)
Just curious, what are your thoughts on the invicta automatic divers? My local sam's club has an 8926 for $55, which seems like a great price, especially considering it has a Seiko movement.
I'm not 100% keen on the homage looks (or the look of the original submariner, really), but I'm wondering if its a good enough watch considering the small outlay of cash?
I don't worry about the homage looks, because many brands of sub-$100 divers are styled similarly. :)

Not a bad watch for what is essentially Timex money. I'll likely return it though, as it just doesn't "speak" to me.

Thanks! Here's a couple more pics.
Really, I think the main thing I don't like are the bracelet's hollow end links. They aren't shaped quite right. Probably fixable, just now sure if it's worth the hassle. :think:

I decided to wear my Techno King watch..aka.the Liberace, to work today. I had a prep period first block, and the native study teacher had invited a brother and sister to talk about residential schools which both had first hand experience with. For those not in the know, in Canada, for a long time, natives were taken from their parents and sent to a boarding school to get the "Indian" out of them. Look it up if you care to know more about one of Canada's not brightest moments in history (while at it, might as well look into what is called the 60's scoop). Anyhow, I was sitting way in the back of the theater, with the guest speakers at the front on the stage. Around half way through the guys presentation, I had to scratch my nose. Doesn't he stop talking...and looks long and hard at me. I guess the Liberace outshone the stars and half blinded the poor guy or something. I took a look at my watch and the lighting was just perfect to get those stones a shining something fierce. With that realization, I quickly covered the watch with my sport-coat sleeve and I sunk a little deeper in my chair as the folks seated between both of us looked around wondering what had gotten his attention. Happily, he started for what seemed like a terribly long minute but was just probably a couple of seconds :facepalm:
My students love this watch more than I do I think...as they are now putting in request for me to wear the bling watch. :rofl:

I haven’t worn it because it hadn’t been right since daylight savings, and well, as you can see it’s not that easy to adjust.. so you’d think, since it’s atomic all it needs is to pick up the signal, but where it sits I guess it’s not strong enough? All you have to do is hold down the one button for 5sec and it does it for you, first it froze then didn’t do anything besides go back to working a few min later, but they say to get to the closes window facing west, so I put it in that window did the 5sec and it froze so I walked away, 5min later I looked at it and it was doing it’s going crazy arms spinning, and then 10min later I come back to it completely set right down to the sec! So, I gues we’re all set to wear!

I generally like a lot of the subdued Russian watch designs. My only complaint for the Amphibia is the chrome plated base metal case/bezel(wrist sweat does a number on the plating). The back is stainless though. :)

Very cool, Smashie! I have an AirBoss non-chrono of this same vintage and love it.
What's going on with the dial on your watch in the vicinity of 2 and 3? Or is it just a dog nose smudge on the crystal?

The non-chrono is also 42 mm but also wears strangely big! It's very comfortable, though.

Seagull 1963 Airforce Watch
“The Tianjin Watch Factory became famous throughout China for producing the first Chinese watch in 1961. The factory was assigned to manufacture the first Chinese aviation watch (chronograph) for the Air Force of the People's Liberation Army. The code of the assignment was "304".
The factory pre-manufactured three batches of the aviation watch by October 1962. In the end of the year 38 leaders and experts (industrial ministry, air command, and naval equipment supervisors) came together for the appraisal of the watch. After the meeting the Tianjin Watch Factory received permission to begin the mass production of the watch. In 1963 the factory completed and delivered 1400 aviation watches to the Chinese Air Force.”
This is the official remake of the watch as it was created in 1963; a unique and limited classic masterpiece. It has a hand winding chronograph movement with 19 or 21 jewels and power reserve of 30 to 40 hours. The watch is a special edition. Depending on the model the dial says "19 ZUAN" or "21 ZUAN", Chinese for "19" or "21 jewels". The symbols on the lower half spell "China - Tianjin Watch Factory".

Both rear, what the heck did you do, burn rubber around the corner, smoking the tires, in a hurry to get to work? Or did the police throw one of those nail strips to get you to stop but missing your front? lol, dang, at least your ok..
JR
Well it was both tires on one side of a dually. Looked like something got wedge up in between them. This hasn't been my week. 3 days ago on another truck all the lugs broke off one rear side. I pulled over just in time before the wheels fell off!

Ouch! All lugs, how the heck did that happen, I’ve had one snap off, or once a couple come loose, but all? Bad week but lucky!Both rear, what the heck did you do, burn rubber around the corner, smoking the tires, in a hurry to get to work? Or did the police throw one of those nail strips to get you to stop but missing your front? lol, dang, at least your ok..

The Spinaker really surprised me, I’d seen pictures of it but they really can’t convey the weight of it and the overall quality of finish. It’s a watch I’d quite happily add to my collection and wouldn’t feel at all ‘hard done by’.

Yes it is plated (it only cost me £35 on the bay a few years ago). But the plating is in good condition, the case back has been gouged which is a shame as it’s deeper than the engraving.

It is indeed. The strap is designed to fit 22 and 24mm watches. On the 22’s like the vic they can look a bit untidy. Time for an Elliot Brown Holton I think.

I got a story for you guys. A few years ago...while doing dental work...my dentist coughed while freezing my upper teeth. When he sneezed, he had pushed the needle into my nasal cavity and released the freezing solution which immediately ran down my throat. He apologized but continued with the dental work. Meanwhile my body, devoid of some of the feedback began to tell my brain that I had stopped breathing despite my knowing that I was still breathing. It was something trying to fight the ensuing panic an hyperventillation. Yeah, that was an experience I hope to never go through again.

Today I’m back rocking the Seiko SNK on another NOTABOND G10. This watch i bought in holiday years ago after completely destroying my holiday watch. It was inexpensive and didn’t look too bad. I had it serviced last year and that cost nearly as much as I paid for it new! You can put it on a leather strap and it will work with a shirt and tie. Or put it on a G10 and wear it around the house or on holiday.

It is hard to kill a Seiko "5" 17J or 21J watch. I think I've seen two that didn't run(out of a hundred that did run), and those were so well used that nobody would want to wear them again(ex. can't see through the crystal and case completely trashed). :ahhh

Very nice Omega GLBM :Tu: from around 1960 unless I'm very much mistaken.

Same Marathon on a different G10 today. The strap matches the regimental colours of the now defunct Yorkshire Hussars. Which should keep our token Yorkshire lad Al happy.Wow, that strap is very befitting of the Marathon Diver! :drool:

Close to the 1960s. But, a tad bit earlier, being mid-late 1950s according to the case style and 3 o'clock date window. It is very similar to the 1960s Seamasters for sure. :)

Always keeping an eye out for sleepers in the world of wrissmurfches, I have noticed that allot of great quality and affordable pieces have been coming out of, you guess it,.... China...
Here for your enjoyment, is the Oshen model OS0317 which utilizes both analog and digital, with a quartz movement. Although the nylon NATO strap was completely adequate and also of great quality, I decided to swap it out with
a rubber divers model. I've had it for over two years with no issues whatsoever.. If your looking for an inexpensive yet interesting cool looking watch to try, this be the one...
Cheers,
Serge
Post by: gerleatherberman on February 28, 2019, 06:29:48 AM
That Ohsen is quite a looker. :)
I have several automatics that were produced by Chinese watchmakers. The accuracy is good and the reliability is getting better every year. :iagree:

Today's watch is a classic Casio AE-1200-WH in Stainless.. I think it was shown in one of the last Bond films as well.
For being quite inexpensive, not only does it looks good, but it's also comfortable once adjusted to your wrists preference, and functions great.

What a fun watch sergemaster. I dig the looks of it..
Yeah, my thoughts exactly.. Plus having grown up in the 1970's-80's, it brings back a bit of nostalgia for me, when the digital watch was "hot", and was seen either worn or offered in some style everywhere..
Here is my watch for the day, which also seems to be my most worn, a Seiko 5. Although I prefer larger watches, this one always finds its way onto my wrist..

Today we have an Invicta 25760 Diver. This is a big and heavy watch, but I love the yellow face. The only change I made, was I replaced the band with one that was more of a traditional divers style, then the stock version.

Nice watch Smashie are they any good :think: :tu: :like:Mine has proven invaluable enough that it is really I have worn every day since getting it.
it is also a lot more rugged than I imagined it would be!
I do not miss Email or Text now and rarely have to pull the phone out as the info is right there on my wrist at the same time,it has really changed my life as much as I hate to admit it and for the better too.
My other watches are not all that happy about it though. :think:

Not an every day watch for me. An interesting stat released earlier this year is that the sale of smart watches is declining in the 20 to 30 age group. They are finally working out that you don't need to be connected all the time

I agree completely having run my own business and being nearly 50 I quite like being away from it all for a few hours every day.
The endless phone calls, emails and messages can get very wearing.

I like the Grand a lot, but it is VERY heavy, even with a nylon strap. Just something to keep in mind. I don't enjoy the weight at all, but the style makes up for it. Especially with the black nylon strap, it looks more like a dive watch than the Pro Divers.

I wanted this back running, as the face is nice and simple to read, so when my vision is off, I've still got a fighting chance of telling the time. Also, wrist watches get annoying for me after a while. I went many (20?) years without wearing a wrist watch regularly, and it's really nice to go back bare wristed every so often.
Nice to get it back on the belt loop again.

Awesome! I've already got my eye on a second one. Trying to talk my brother into one as well.
I've got this Casio on today. This might be my favorite of my non-work watches.

I have been eyeing that Casio on Amazon for some time now...it is quite the deal for something that offers 200m.
I think you'd be pleased with it. Looks good, keeps good time, super comfortable to wear, and as you said, good price! :cheers:

Is it any good MMR :think: :tu:
It’s handy because I use my calendar a lot and I get all the notifications about meetings/ events on the watch too, and I can see who’s calling and answer on the watch (and that way use it as a hands free when I am driving).
I don’t personally care about all the running apps and they just nuke the already short battery life on it too.
I like it because I am kind of a tech nerd and I like all the technical stuff and technical side of things, but I still think the €400 (or whatever they cost) is way to high.
Lately I have been kind of moving away from Apple products in general. I used to work for Apple and they treated me like a doormat, and I have never seen management as bad as what I have seen at Apple either.....
...but regardless of my personal opinion about them as a company, I think their computers and phones have gone insanely expensive, for a decent spec MacBook Pro your are looking at €2500 and for an iPhone you are looking at around €1000 too
My current phone is an iPhone 8plus and it’s from 2017, so hopefully it will last a few more years, but when it is time to change I’d be looking at maybe a Sony Expedia or something like that. I want to avoid Samsung because of how expensive they are in parts...I only know that because I fix phones as a “side job”
Computer wise I’d just be going back to windows, for my needs I can get well spec’ed out one for around €1000

I sold my iPad because it was kind of redundant when I already have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, but I kind of miss it at times.
I especially miss having an iPad when I am traveling or for taking notes at meetings

This one is 7 years older than the Pulsar. The more observant will have noticed the ’T’ under the CWC logo. That means it has the old radioactive tritium luminous compound on the dial and hands. The Pulsar has an ’L’ which stands for Luminova (non radioactive).

I like my iPad mini as well, although the battery is going on mine.
They are possible to change yourself, but a bit of a PITA compared to an iPhone, because the screen is glued on and is easy to damage when removing it.
A heat pad usually helps with softening glue, which makes it easier to remove without damaging.
However the replacement battery is pretty inexpensive

You can pick them up for not a huge amount second hand or buy them new from the Cabot Watch Company.
Or you could have joined the forces in the 80’s or 90’s and got issued one :tu:

Good grief! They've gone up in price! :o They were £40-£60 last I looked... that was probably about ten years ago though. :facepalm:
I've got the civilian version of the CWC (can't remember what it's called - I haven't got it on at the moment) and it's a great watch.

If it's the MWC its not connected to CWC.
I'm pretty sure CWC don't supply service watches anymore. They’re either citizen, I think, or the Elliot Brown Horton. To get the Horton you have to pretty smurfing special. Or you buy one.

This was my grandfathers. His son in law, my father, bought this for him in England in 1973 or so. When my grandfather died in 1977, it was passed to me.
I know little more. I suspect it was bought in a second hand shop, as I also received an Oris, with 'Kim McKay, 1963' on the back. I don’t wear it much, but I’ve just finally buckled and put a new bracelet on, because the original bracelet is too small for me.
Any information on this watch is appreciated. Thanks.
But that’s what I’m wearing today.

It truly can. I do painting and decorating and the paint just scratches off and doesnt leave a mark. Plus it takes all of your day to day splashes. Its a great watch.

Not sure what you mean by sweep... forgive me I'm a bit new to watches :-\
Post by: Chako on June 06, 2019, 02:48:52 AM
sweep is the motion of the second hand. Some tick per second...others have a more smoother motion that races around the face.
Post by: clown on June 06, 2019, 03:11:56 AM
:salute:
sweep is the motion of the second hand. Some tick per second...others have a more smoother motion that races around the face.
Gotcha. From listening, this one seems to tick roughly about 4 times per second. If you look closely you can see it in the second hand but at arms length it looks pretty smooth.

Yes it is an automatic, but its the most reliable automatic chronograph every made. The Valjoux (now ETA) 7750. Very little goes wrong with them

A word of caution should you wear a Rolex and enter a gentleman's club. The young ladies that work there can spot the blue lume from about 200 metres, you will not get left alone all night. Great for your ego, not so great for your wallet!

The beads I wear are brutal on most watches. Doesn't effect the rolex much and the damasko’s cases are hardened in such a way that I haven't managed to scratch any of them.

Doesn't effect the rolex much and the damasko’s cases are hardened in such a way that I haven't managed to scratch any of them.Indeed, the Rolex 904L does seem to withstand scratches quite well(from what I've read and personal experience polishing Rolex cases for a buddy of mine). Not sure what steel Damasko uses, but Rolex tends to use the 904L. Maybe Damasko uses something similar?
Looks like it helps that the beads ride on the crown side. :)

However, this watch made by the Tianjin Watch Factory is called the Chinese Airforce watch. It does however have a very good Lemania clone movement in it. For €180 it's pretty damn good value as well.

My god, the swatch is so beaten up it looks like smurf! Some trick photography worked wonders. It's from the early 90’sJust needs a good buffing wheel polish on the steel and a high grit diamond compound for the crystal. :)

This is a beast to wear. We had a week down in the snow and I decided to take it along for the trip. A fantastic watch, but big!!!

I recently got this new Citizen Diver. I have lusted after one since its release, but the retail price made it a little out of my reach. Then I found one on a watch forum from a very nice member in Oz.

Thanks mate :salute:.
I love the MudMaster so much that I've got two versions, the one shown above and this one

.The timezones are cool, same goes for the ABC functions, and it's Solar Powered (and indeed build like a tank). And I also like the fact that it's a big watch, I'm quite a big guy and as much as I like my Seiko 5 Aviator, when I'm wearing it, it does look as if I'm wearing the watch that I've got when I did my first Communion (age 6) ... ::)

Thanks mate :salute:.
I had just bought that Tilley 10 minutes before I took the watch pic, it was at -30% discount and the only one left in my size (I saw this hat on the site of an outdour store franchise, checked which store still had my size and it just happened to be the store 10 minutes away from my home that had the very last one of all the shops in Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Same thing happened with my Gerber CD).
I already own two OD green T3 Tilley hats, but at -30%, I just couldn't let this one pass ;).

marko, they're both nearly identical quality-wise. I would probably give the Citizen Eco-Drive, a very slight-edge. This one wears lighter, and is smaller on the wrist. Pretty-much a hands-free movement running on sunlight, that keeps phenomenal time. The Deep Blue is running the NH35A Seiko; a self-winding movement. The movement is hack-able, and requires winding if not worn, or you live a sedentary life-style. It's a much bigger, heavier tool watch. I wear the DB more, so I guess it would be more favored.

Fun fact: IWC used a cut-down hypodermic needle for the chrono split second pivot prototype. In the production model, the seconds pivot is 9mm long and 0.5mm in diameter while the hole drilled through it is only 0.34mm in diameter. The split second hand pivot fits inside this tube. Amazing engineering.

Interesting technology with touch functionality on the glass. The pressure/temp sensor is mounted inside the back cover with spring contacts that connect it to the main watch module. Small window with a plastic membrane allows atmospheric sensing. Second back locks down over the 1st cover with 4 screws and vents/air gap for the sensor.
Light and super-comfortable watch to wear (Ti). One of my watches I’d recommend without hesitation.

Uses an innovative balance wheel design with two curved elastic arms that assist with shock absorbance to the balance wheel.
Fun fact: In December of 1956, as part of a publicity stunt, several Wyler watches were thrown from the Eiffel Tower, which was a 300 meter drop to showcase the durability of their watches. Apparently, they were all working perfectly afterwards.

Nice looking Seiko Rapidray :like: :tu:My last Seiko dive watch was the one my dad had when he passed away, over 30 years ago. It finally died and Seiko said it was not fixable and so it was time for a new one! This one caught my eye as I like the guard protecting the down time bezel and it is Kinetic. :cheers:

Still wearing the GW-A1100. Thought you may find a closeup of the dial and back interesting. The triangular central logo presumably refers to the Triple G Resist construction (able to withstand the shock of gravitational dropping forces, centrifugal G-forces, and vibration.)

I've been looking at one of those in the past as well, but ended up going for the GWG-1000 Mudmaster, choices... ::)
The backs of those Master of G watches are always beautiful :dd:.

They also sell bands from the leather of a Porsche Targa (for 175 €) or a Mercedes Pullman, but I think for my tasks, the Waterproof Leather is maybe the best solution..
Apple is selling a Leatherband whit this Butterfly Closing Mechanism for more then 500 €, , I don’t know where they let these bands made,
But the BandWerk Bands are made in Germany and they should be pretty good..
I paid about 110 € , but I got it whit a pretty cool packing design (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200204/bcaa35f2c3c0b8aa6c1bf83fad88f086.jpg)

The price premium paid by consumers of Apple products over comparable devices from competitors.
I don't think my IWC handmade croc watch band with deployant clasp was even 500 Euro...

After wearing my Casio GWG-1000 MudMaster for months, I took out its small brother, the GWG-100 MudMaster (basically the same look, but without the ABC gizmos, but it does have Casio's "Neon illuminator" :D).

Thanks, Ws! Just got a new NATO strap that was back-ordered from Blu Shark, and paired-it with my Luminox.Looks nice eTripper :like:

I can’t wear my Liminox because the crown irritates my wrist. Only watch I have that does it which is a shame because I love the watch design and H3 Tritium tube illumination. :(

Probably costs less than what many people in this thread pay for a strap :rofl: The glass is all scratched to buggery, and it's not waterproof anymore from changing the battery myself. Doesn't matter a jot to me though. Still tells me what time it is, and how long my dinner has been in the oven :D
When I do write it off completely, I'll just buy another cheapo ;) I think this has lasted about 8 years so far, costing me less than £5/year... including batteries :P

To think this design goes back 37 years to 1983, to the very first G-Shock, is a great story. :tu:
I have a couple that get regular wrist time. My favorite is the GW-5000 which has a screw-down back like the original, and is still in production. Managed to convince a watch collector to part with it a few years ago. :salute:

Cool looking watch 8) :like:Thanks mate, been one I wanted for awhile and it would have been my late wife’s and my 23rd Wedding on April 5th, but alas it wasn’t to be, so got the Garmin Tactix Delta as a Wedding gift from my wife in spirt.
Here is a comparison with my G-Shock WR20BAR, Garmin Tactix Delta and Apple Watch Series 4. The Apple Watch is way smaller and the G-Shock looks bigger but that is more due to the raised bevel around it.

Today’s wear is the Geographic.
Fun fact...
The logo is modeled on the International Geophysical Year logo which shows the orbit of the first artificial satellite. While Sputnik was used for scientific testing, it created much concern (panic), not helped by the fact that it was launched into space using a rocket developed for delivering a hydrogen bomb to the US.
JLC supplied watches to some of the crew of the US Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine, after its trip under the North Pole in 1958 as part of this multinational scientific programme.

Thanks mate :salute:.That’s nice, I have a few automatic wind up, even solar, but nothing like that, the only thing that I have that I think is in a field of its own is a solar atomic, set and forget! But all digital, yet I do have a analog which is atomic, you can’t set it, I took it in for a battery and the jeweler looked at me and I’m like don’t worry it will be set by tomorrow morning,, but the battery burns out quick..

It has become one of my favorite watches in the 4 months I've owned it, very comfortable to wear, very easy to read (my sons would disagree, youngsters with their lack of analog clock reading skills ::)), very accurate, and it feels rock solid.

However, now I have a cell phone in my hand all day with the time displayed so no need really.
I feel like now a watch is more of a fashion style item and I will occasionally wear a nice watch on a special occasion.
The watch market has forever changed.

Citizen Eco-Drive solar with Barton silicon band. These bands are great because they contain spring-loaded pins and you can swap them out for a different look in about 20 seconds.

Saturday. Weekend. Sun is shining, life almost feels normal. An amazing opportunity to just sit down, take a sip of coffee and relax for a minute or two - nowhere to rush. Trees are blooming, people are smiling, it’s Easter tomorrow and our victory is coming
. I love this watch. I’ve been chasing this perfect balance of color, form, function and the price for quite a while and this is my absolute perfection. Glad I found it. Make me feel something really special every time I glance at it.

Today is an absolute gem, and a gift from a departed friend, my Luminox Blackout.
It needed a new battery when I pulled it out of the drawer last week, but that wasn't a big deal and now it is back on my wrist where it belongs.

Post by: Grant Lamontagne on April 30, 2022, 01:57:09 PM
Not bad for a watch I didn't think I wanted!
I was reading all of Cluve Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels and there were frequent references to Dirk's orange Doxa dive watch and I figured I wanted one. That is, until I saw the price and decided I didn't want one after all.
Then I found out about the Orange Monster and I wanted one, so I set about trying to find a decent priced used one, and along the way I sort of felt that I'd rather maybe have the Black Monster as maybe I'm not really flashy enough to have a bright orange watch.
That's when I found this one for sale on KF for $80 with no strap. I snapped it up instantly and agonized about it being too flashy for the longest while. I may have even tried to trade or sell it before it even arrived. :facepalm:
But, I decided to bite the bullet, get a strap for it and wear it, and, when I finally had it in hand, I was very pleased with the rock solid build quality of it, and the orange color grew on me as well.
I was so proud of it in the early days that a friend of mine, SwissMan here on the forum, harassed me unceasingly about sending it to him, which he knew I'd never do.
Eventually he got one for himself and it opened the floodgates for him, as he started to collect watches. He'd pick them up at pawn shops, thrift shops and anywhere else he could find them, and most he would give away- including the Blackout I posted yesterday, and some more that you will see in the near future.
Unfortunately SwissMan passed away last year from COVID, which makes all of these watches completely invaluable to me. The memories of a great friend, a better one than I ever deserved, make these already great watches so much better.

I did a major no no today.
Most days I get up, pull my smart watch off the charger and put it on. Since my smart watch has died, I have been enjoying wearing my other watches until I replace my smart watch- my Mom just got a new one less than a week before she passed away, so I will probably get that one in a couple of weeks when I visit my father next.
Anyways, on to my boo boo today- I looked at the watches in my bedroom and decided I would wear one of the ones in the other room and so I didn't put one one. Then I ran out of time and forgot to get another one, and now I'm at work with no watch at all.
:facepalm:
I wonder how many times I am going to look at my wrist today and feel really stoopit?

Yeah,,, I do that at least once a month,,,,, and it's always on a Monday ironically. We clean the house on weekends and my week day EDC always gets "put away" by my wife. Sometimes I forget to go on a search and rescue mission until after I've had to go through a day without my watch.
BUT!!!
I carried these two today. The banded Casio is my official work watch. The pocket watch is something I picked up and repaired over the weekend. I'm thinking about mounting it to the lid of my tool box so at least I will have something the next time I forget my EDD watch.

Nice Casio- it looks like a Telememo series watch? I love them but that's because I'm old enough to recall when having functions like phone numbers on a watch was really, really handy!

I originally got this model (not this specific one) in the early 90's. Up to that point I hadn't been able to wear a watch as they would almost always break or be lost, but when I saw this one I figured it would be able to hold up. I told my Mom I wanted it for my birthday, and she was apprehensive because it was expensive (I think about $75 at the time, if I recall correctly) which, from her point of view I'm sure, was a lot of money for something that wasn't likely to live long.
Still, she got it for me and it survived for several years, and is probably still going strong wherever it is. It was stolen out of my car a few years later when I lived in Toronto, and I was pretty heart broken.
Then, a number of years later I was searching for info on the model and I joined a GShock forum to ask about it. Someone there sent me a spare one they had- and that's where this watch came from- literally a stranger being nice to someone on the internet.
Getting back to the year thing, it always amused me that this watch would tell you what year it was (obviously not anymore!) but it doesn't have a light. It always amused me that it would be handy if you were in a coma and woke up, you'd know how long you were out, but only if you woke up during the day! :rofl:

Bertucci had this one listed as "used" for $30 (basically what a cheap Armitron is these days) when I bought it last year .While they replace the bands and batteries on all used watches, all the protective films were in place, and the date code was Dec. 2020 (basically only about 3 months old at the time), so I don't think it was a used watch. I guess it was a watch someone returned, and it was serviced.

The watch is the poorest mans version of the famous Seiko Poor Mans Marine Master. Just a simple bezel swap from an SKX007 :D

This Casio Pro Trek, or its all-black sibling, are my default watches. I gravitate toward the solar, atomic genre, but will branch out into non-atomic G-Shocks when I want a change of pace.

I gravitate toward the atomic G-Shock genre, but its fun to go old school analog sometimes. Eco-Drive is solar, so it has that going for it.

Bought this 6900-1 as a work beater watch and seeing how it’s Saturday considered switching it out for something fancy and mechanical.I was thinking of getting something myself, but rather then digital something analog, but I didn’t want to give up the solar or the atomic, so I saw this one, a CASIO AWGM100B-1ACR "G-Shock" Solar Watch

Technically yes, although they keep finding money from somewhere to keep it running. :dunno:So technically it’s not even a point to get one cause if it shuts down you’ll have to set it, yet somewhere I did see one similar but it tapped off your iPad or phone instead, no not a apple..

Picked this Seiko up a few weeks back. I love everything about it,,,, EXCEPT,,,,, the 7S26A movement. I did not know that you couldn't manually wind it when I bought it. I have since been educated.
Swapping the movement to an NH 35/36 (I can't remember which is the right one) is pretty simple if you take your time and have a few basic tools.

:like: Thanks Smashie. As it is I only wear the watch on weekends. While having my coffee on Saturday morning I open the back and manually wind it with a small screwdriver. It runs all weekend with that one wind. I will most certainly be looking into a movement change though. Thanks again!

Picked this Seiko up a few weeks back. I love everything about it,,,, EXCEPT,,,,, the 7S26A movement. I did not know that you couldn't manually wind it when I bought it. I have since been educated.
Nice one :like: ...a pitty with the missing manual winding though.

If by silver, you mean white gold or platinum, then yes. I would like to mention that the Day Date only comes in precious metals. I still think white gold and platinum look like SS after a very short time.

It’s been a while since I had this watch on my wrist - it loses the practicality game to an Apple Watch despite Hamilton is way more beautiful and inspiring.

have it now since 3 months and I’m quite happy whit my decision to move from an Apple Watch 4 to this: ca 24 Days Batterie including 2 Running Trainings, you don’t have to lock a Touchscreen to make it waterproof, and the time is visible even in direct Sunlight like on an “normal LCD Wrissmurfch”
The Apple Watch needed in between charging breaks when you wanted sleep monitoring, this watch can stay on my wrist the whole 24 days..

The only reasons I guessed tourmaline is because guys don't normally wear emeralds due to being more prone to chipping and the bright color and high clarity. A beautiful stone!

Though I am highly addicted to any Casio solar atomic watch, I sometimes stray into something like this Seiko solar SNE475P1 with Barton quick-release silicone strap. I love the simple, easy to read presentation. And with the relatively inexpensive Barton bands, you can change the whole look pretty easily.

Big fan of the King Turtle here :like:.
I own two, a green waffle and a black waffle dial. But there are so many beautiful Turtles out there, with amazing dials, like the one you have there, stunning...

i'm becoming a fan very fast. it really does wear extremely well
I agree, the Seiko cushion shape case I very comfortable on the wrist, especially for a pretty sizeable watch as the Turtle.
Since I got my first King Turtle, my custom modded SKX stays at home more often. The SKX, while smaller, does not feel as comfortable as the bigger turtle.
