Watch of Today

Recommended Posts

Driving the desk today, so got an OG desk diver on the go. 

Duward Aquastar Oceanic. A 200m rated EPSA Super Compressor with an Adolph Schild 1903 movement. Keen to find a 21** version of this movement to play with if anybody has one laying about.

Reminds me of a Tissot, down to the flat-side caseback!

Agreed.....no offense of course.

Im just not a fan of the rolex fluted bezels...not even on the DJII

Even on my stainless I much prefer the engine turned, although if I could have had smooth I think it would have looked better with he tapestry dial.

Then after I got it , I didn't wear it at all . And to add insult to injury , I lost about 2K as soon as I walked out the door with it .

I recently traded it for an Omega Moon to Mars watch  a couple of Baume Mercier watches , a Cherry Seiko diver , and a very Blingy 14k gold an diamond ring . And I feel good about the trade ,....go figure .

Y'all do have some mighty fine looking watches there! I admire Rolex for its build quality, but Omega is my preferred piece.

Bought for the price of a large Pizza Hut pizza. It was in a right state.

Looked like this when I got it...

No crystal and God knows what it was covered in.

 That watch looks like it's covered in Moon Dust ....

Nice job cleaning it up .  Is it supposed to have a center second hand ?

I would take an Omega over a Rolex any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The orange bezel PO is awesome.....Ive had a couple speedys and seamasters over the years....loved em, but that co-axial is redonkulous. I have an Omega coming soon that i think everyone will get a kick out of.....

Let’s go back to the days when Heuer became Tag Heuer. The is the black ip professional all lume dial. This was available as both Heuer and Tag Heuer depending on where and when you bought it. It was also featured in a James Bond film before the days of Rolex and omega.

Amazingly, the lume is still bright and clear, just doesn’t last as long as it once did. This beauty is too small for me now and I lost the extra links long ago, so it sits on my bench to be my time setter after changing batteries.

    • A already know the size movement I have the problem is the dial a had purchased has a dimension 20.6mm wide a want to find a watch case that going to fit the dial perfectly 
    • Hi.  I would like to take issue here regarding battery driven , watches, clocks,etc. I will and do repair these clocks in fact I have sever al in my collection as well as the regular mechanical ones. I have one on my mantle piece over 60 years old tha belonged to my wife’s Aunt,  long gone Iam afraid and it has been cleaned etc and never missed a beat and is accurate. Every one has their preduices as regards Electrical /electronic Horology but I regard it as part of the progress time line of the art of Horology and to be treated as such. Like Darwin’s theory of evolution it evolved.  Two cavemen knocking rocks together and a shard broke off , looking at it he worked out if it was stuck on the end of a stick he would have a spear. Likewise his pal seeing what he was up to picked up a piece  and did the same, now that’s evolution. Some clockmaker decided to build a clock that ran with a battery and no spring to wind up and break, progress and both the mechanical and battery driven clocks evolved, the battery ones got better to the point that if it broke you changed the complete unit. Likewise watches did the same but both can be repaired by people who approach Horology with an open mind without preduice.  We all have our likes and dislikes bu I for one would never dismiss any technology because I don’t like it.   The mobile phone is a good example of modern technology at work as is the automotive industry. There buttons and switches in my car I don’t use because to me they are not nesessary but I still drive the car.
    • I haven't gone through all the reading of what it might be or not. The first thing I would do if nothing obvious stands out is replace the mainspring, you have to start at the source of the power. Nine times out of ten that is the problem.  
    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
