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.

No offense taken at all .

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.

Been wearing this today
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.

    • Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

    • as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
    • I dont understand why a patreon membership would have limited places ??
    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. It’s highly unlikely you will be able to purchase a new bezel look on eBay for a pulsar watch for repair to find a bezel.
