Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

As it's my first Orient, I was very surprised by this to and I wouldn't accept a +10 seconds/day at all to be honest.

I wear my piece every day all day long and only putting it off just before going to sleep.

I keep it flat (face up) on my nightstand and every morning only giving it a 5x manual winding, that’s it :D

Perhaps this contributes to the very good accuracy I'm getting, who knows...

:BEER:

If I remember correctly, when new, my Makos were significantly more accurate… within 2 seconds per day. Over time, they got worse.

There is a way to adjust accuracy, but it requires some very precise and steady hands.

EDIT: I went back to check my records. My original Mako actually runs fast by about 30 seconds/day if I leave it face up, but that is the old 46943 movement. My newer Mako USA II with F6922 movement seems to be more accurate so far.

Do I get it right, you guys buy mechanical watches to complain about observe how many seconds the watches run fast or slow instead of buying a quarz watch?

Hmm, on the other hand I mod every knife I get and make a lot of handicraft thing so I guess I understand the fiddling. A bit ;)

Wearing the massive U-Boat Italo Fontana automatic watch today on my small 7” wrist.

I just ordered this watch...

I need a watch with a vibrating alarm, and I really like Timex digital watches.

This one should be good, although the cheap plastic band will need to be replaced with a nice steel mesh band.

Love the time pieces weklund, you have an awesome collection.

No shock, but seem to have accumulated about 6 G”s now.

Biding my time for a frogman next…….or mud carbon.

Very nice :sunglasses:

Another G day today

I installed a stainless steel mesh watch band, and I've been wearing this watch for a while now.

This is the largest watch I have owned, and the most expensive, and it's easily my favorite.

I almost always get Timex digital watches, and this one is a winner.

(Timex doesn't make many vibrating digital watches, so there weren't that many to choose from.)

This one looks and functions great.

I thought the plastic "compass" would bother me because it's so useless, but I just ignore it.

I like how the buttons are large and stick out pretty far.

It makes it easy to push them.

I'm a happy raccoon.

Nice … I am a G-Shock guy as well. Great watch.

Thanks weklund, yes I am sure I have seen you sport a few G’s in the past. I am also sure you have played a part in me wanting to get some as well(going back a good bit of time). An enabler for sure with an amazing collection. Iirc you have a mudmaster? The next one up from mine. Could be wrong……

Nice gulfman :sunglasses: , my little one is made up as he has just got one. Not the same, smaller version , the 9100. I loved the look, titanium case back,but the band is too small for my wrist. It appears only the double bands fit best. Basically when on wrist, it was 1 or 2 holes off the end………don’t like the way it sat just tucked in the retainer. I could of course got a larger strap, but the smile on his face alone was more than worth it.

I was about to post a pic from phone but looked huge . Will have to sort later .

Cheers! Love to see more of them weklund

Edit- the Gulfman

I like that raccoon , I must have some crazy retro digital thing going on……… :sunglasses:

Seiko day
