Lol Horologic virus! Don’t exaggerate like that. You are still safe. It’s not serious until you buy an a electronic time-grapher for checking the amplitude/bph of mechanical watches. And don’t let anyone mention the watch pressure testing machine, or if they do, explain to them that it does not mean you are hooked, because it can also be used for pressure testing small flashlights too, so obviously its more of a general workshop tool.
You’ll be fine until you catch yourself sharpening tiny screwdrivers every few screws, or until the words centistokes or ligne have meaning to you.
And even then, I can stop anytime I like….
10 years ago, your phrase “Horologic virus ” would have been suggestive of a course of Tetracycline or two, maybe a lecture at most.
And everybody thinks flashlights, and knives are addicting…
And that Ronda movement… you know that you just won’t be happy with the haphazard ticking… you need to replace it, don’t worry about the stem/hands removal/replacement issue, you just need a few more cheap watches to practice on. Or, maybe you can live with it the way it is. No big deal, just because it is a little erratic, after all, its an old watch, and it’s not like anybody but you will notice. lolol
Well, the Traser is working well again and the lume is bright enough, I’d only see the difference side by side with a new one (tritium half-life).
I even got the Seiko 5 running again after it didn’t want to move at all. It’s losing 5 mins a day, after “service”!
I’ve ordered a $7 demagnetizer, that’s my last resort on this watch. If it’s not working I’ll have a fun toy to shoot magnets with 
I am a watch guy, (and a pen guy), so I have a bunch.
Including the Citizen Skyhawk Blue Angels edition
A bunch of original vintage swatches
An Apple Watch
My grandpas mid 60’s Hamilton
To name a few.
But this is what I love to carry now.
1902 Waltham pocket watch. I absolutely love this watch.

Mine says Hi!

Not a wristwatch, but I have one of these incoming from a ebay which my mum bought for me. I already have one similar which was passed down to me, same make, but it only works face down!
I have tinnitus, worse sometimes than others and the rather loud ticking of this particular watch breaks up the whine very well. I keep it on my desk ticking away….upside down lol.
This one I plan to lume up with some modern glow powder and varnish and edc it on a chain in my pocket.
I wear a Damasko DA36 or a Seiko SDGM003
I am in the process of purchasing a used Casio G-Shock GD350-1.
My Timex T49851 died today.
One of the five buttons quit working, and now the watch is practically worthless.
I bought it brand new, and I only had it about 18 months before it died, so I decided to replace it with a Casio.
This will be my second Casio, and my first G-Shock.
My first Casio was very inexpensive and I did not like it very much.
I have owned many Timex watches, and I like them, but I think the G-Shock will hopefully be more durable. 
I’ve always loved that Seiko model, so much more interesting than the SARB IMO thanks to the crown, case chamfering and that great bracelet!

Thanks. I agree. I tend to find that SDGM line do not show their value in photo. I really enjoy this model and the finish is top-notch (for the price). It is sometime call baby gs.
Old school nostalgia and a break from the Apple Watch.
Pam177 & Magrette Pacific Diver, both with Isofrane straps.
I guess I should finally share a picture. This is one of my Bertucci DX3 Field Watches with the older face design. It’s simple, uncomplicated, rugged, and reliable. Since they released the canvas bands, it’s also one of the most comfortable watches I’ve ever worn. That made it comfortable enough to wear to bed. I’ve since realized that the lume on the hands is better than I thought.
I would like to buy any budget vvery crazy chinese watches…any idea??
I bought the ever-popular Citizen Eco-drive BM8180 analog watch over a year ago, and aside from the classic aviator styling I like, I also liked the solar power feature enough to think: “Wouldn’t it be great to have another solar watch I can use when I am giving my Citizen a nice sun bath on the windowsill?” After looking around, and carefully watching a certain retail website in the US with rapidly fluctuating prices on many items, I bought my first Casio G-shock - a GWM5610-1. I paid about $90, and I can’t imagine a better value in features for the money. Most G-shocks are too large for me, but this fits me well.
Sure, the style isn’t for everyone, and many people would not wear it in a suit-and-tie situation, but ever since I put it on, my citizen gets little wrist time. It just works very well, and does everything I could want a watch to do on a typical day, with no maintenance to worry about except for topping off the charging every once in a while. I have the power-save feature turned on, the auto-backlight turned off, and the time syncing works here near the east coast, even though my apartment windows face east - the opposite direction from the atomic clock in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
