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.

    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍
    • If you're seeking advice for your "Harvard GSD" MArch II application essays, I'd recommend taking a thoughtful approach. Reflect deeply on your experiences, passions, and goals, and tailor your essays to showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the program. As for resources, I recently stumbled upon a gret platform for essays, and I must say, it's been quite helpful. Their selection of pre-written essays covers a wide range of topics, and their professional writers can also assist with custom essays tailored to your specific needs. Check out their offerings here: https://essaypro.com/essays-for-sale. Remember, authenticity is key in your application essays. Good luck!
    • For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.
    • Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe
    • It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
