Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

Not really because I live on the east coast (Long Island, NY) where there’s a very weak signal. I have a satellite wall clock that almost always never connects. I think it might have connected twice in the 6 months I’ve owned it

Damn, oh well, at least you will look cool turning up late :sunglasses:

Sometimes the older ‘atomic clocks’ just quit working.
I’ve never known why.
But plenty of other atomic clocks in the same place, resync every night.
So, just because one clock quit, doesn’t mean the signal is weak or changed.

Can anyone explain the different grading of replica watch?

I have seen grading of JF, N8, AAA, A, V9, V7 etc but don’t know what is the difference between them.

As I know there’s a difference between traditional radio controlled watches and satellite / GPS controlled ones like the Seiko Astron for example. You can sync your GPS controlled watch anywhere in the world while the syncing of the radio controlled ones are limited to the reach of the emitters.

Hi.
Tried cheap watches in younger days.
I spend too much time IN water and rough on construction sites.

This watch Citizen Solar screen, Rolex basic copy. 15\16 yrs. never touched it. keeps perfect time according to my GPS. $470 Tax free in Germany. (Passing through, at jewellers)
Prev. A Seiko Went for 18 yrs. AUTOmatic. Adjusted around every 12 months by several seconds. Around $240. Then.
Shook it apart when working a big Jackhammer breaking some concrete for a coupla days. (Forgot about it)

Prev. An Omega Seamaster. Had from 18 yrs old, Bought in Germany while in Army, back in late ’50’s.
Would still have it but Wrist strap pin went while out night sailing and it didn’t float. Bummer.
Personally. I reckon a decent watch. Bought once. works well. Gives no problems, and Usually. Lasts forever.

3 in 50odd yrs. Used daily. Never a problem (usage wise)
is great value for money.

I have an Omega “dress Watch” for around 45\46 yrs. That fine
for going out dressed up…
But normally I always use the 200mtr divers watches
They worth the extra.
Basically 77yrs old next month on 3 watches.
Ain’t too bad hey.

Beyond awesome, love it!

I love Nixie Tubes! I have a Nixie Tube Clock. I purchased this one back in 2003. Still works like a champ. The flickering isn’t visible to the naked eye.

Darn, I love that nixie wrist watch, too.
Must google if it’s real and how many wages it’s worth :wink:

Just found this automatic Seiko 5 in a drawer while looking for other stuff! This watch belonged to my father. Not used since nearly 10 years. Good as new. Happy I found it :laughing:

Very cool find agent steel :slight_smile:

Great watch and it was your Pop’s …. wear it in good health.

So yes.
Getting a proper watch - missio still in progress.

I admit I got a bit of a set back since I had to help out parents for about six grand early this year - that meant I had to “touch” watch savings also…

So what do you do?

Managed to find a similar one, quality has better feel and movement functions are much more civilized and snappy than the Seiko Alpinist I had.

I’m so glad you posted that AgentSteel……I have my Grandad’s watch which very similar to your Dad’s but until now it has sat in a box untouched, dirty, scratched face and laden with sweat (ew!).
Seeing yours gave me the nudge I needed to clean it up! I polished the acrylic crystal with a dremel and Autosolvol cream and the same with the strap etc after a good soak in hot water and a scrub with an old toothbrush and washing up liquid. The end result is an almost brand new watch!

Cool!

That’s a nice watch G0Ose, good job :+1:

Great job G0Ose ,very nice and special!

Thanks for your kind replies guys! :+1:

Did you take any “before” pics mate?
