Watch of Today


mk3

Recommended Posts

Very wet weather here in Kuala Lumpur over the last week.  Since my transport to work a motorcycle I've been using my newer water resistant watches. 

Today it's my Seiko 7s36-01E0, or more commonly referred to by the cognoscenti as the 'Atlas'.

Too chunky for other days but fine for Friday's.

Not sure what you mean by your statement of , "  I ruined for myself by hyping it up to much."

Clean looking watch though .

I should have explained that better. Essentially before I got it, given the history (Scandinavian, aviation, design and horological) I built it up in my mind and it got worse as I serviced it, everything in the movement just seem to be designed so well. But when I put it on my wrist it just cant live up to that impossible image. :)

Onward to a watch that did the opposite. My first impressions of the Alpinist was small and dull. But it really grew on me and the dial/handset combination plays with the light just beautifully.

Picture reflects the Swedish weather quite well, grey and cold.

I've fallen for this mid-size Spinnaker. Fitted with the Seiko NH35 movement. Seeing as it's a "Keeper" I've corrected the beat errorbed7a6434d310909faaebcf335b12572.jpg2165bdc7b4874507d57c5bba376844c3.jpg4d8545fdba8a81c2af5f635007438a67.jpg

Great numbers--You've done a good job of regulating it. What does it look like Crown down as in the pic with you wearing?

Not sure. Watch taken off wrist and given the Seiko shuffle for a minute or so and then left for about 10 minutes

Right...Seiko's are fully automatic for winding. Looks good then. Amplitude would probably go up with a day or two on an automatic winder.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
