My Hamilton Khaki Field Officer Watch is being repaired instead of replaced. watchweahouse.com claims it’s being repaired by their expert Hamilton repair guy. I told them I’m extremely picky as far as any evidence, scratches, accuracy, etc. The guy I spoke to assured me that they are picky as well. They said they will calibrate my watch as well. I was getting about 10 seconds fast a day which is good for a manual winding watch. Maybe they can get it better? I hope so.

Ordered a SEIKO PROSPEX MARINEMASTER PROFESSIONAL 300M QUARTZ BLACK RUBBER SBBN033. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

Nice one! Photo doesn’t do it justice, it looks so good in real life.

I should have it in a few days. I’ll take a picture of it on my wrist and post it here.

Those things are great.

I need quartz though. Plus solar and ‘atomic’/radio controlled.

Personal failing :slight_smile:

It is quartz. I’m personally tired of manual and autowinding watches poor accuracy to be honest. The Seiko I ordered has an accuracy of plus or minus 15 seconds a month, typically only a few seconds compared to plus or minus 15 seconds a day for mechanical watches. Not only that, it gets minimum 5 years of battery life.

I recently ordered my first automatic watch, will post pics when I get it :slight_smile:

This is the best automatic+skeleton watch that I could find for less than $500.
Wanted something where I could see the moving parts, such as the flywheel, second hand, and rotor.
Apparently the movement is pretty good too for the price.


1986 GMT Master II.

several of my quartz watches including a 1984 seiko are like 5 sec a year or less

15 sec / month is just the spec

will probably be way better

and of course the atomic ones are 0 sec /eternity :slight_smile:

Got my Seiko SBBN033 MarineMaster Professional today. I got it from an authorized USA dealer for a great price. I’m loving it!

pretty watch.

now you have to track and report accuracy in seconds/year :slight_smile:

I set it to the atomic clock at https://time.gov/HTML5/. I’ll be sure to check it often.

Would you mind providing links to these watchbands (Super Engineer II clone and the 6mm band)? I was looking at a Strapcode Super Oyster Curved End, but still on the fence on paying that much for a fairly budget minded SKX007.

Are there any HK direct bands similar to the Strapcode Super Oyster Curved End (#SS221803B019)?

Super Engineer II look-alike on Ali

I just ordered a real 22mm Super Engineer II from Amazon for my new Seiko. The fake ones are not nearly as good. I know because I bought one for one of my Timex’s. The clasp is thin and doesn’t clamp well. The band it’self isn’t bad, but uses push-in pins instead of screws. I already had to re-push a couple of them in after a couple of weeks. I ended up putting loctite on them. That said, you get what you pay for in most cases.

A leather nato is verry nice also with that watch, good to have strapoptions.
