Hi all. So as a 40th present from my dad i was given a voucher for a watch.

 

I was torn between the blue sunburst dial or the green bezel. I think i made the right choice.

 

One reason for the choice was the movement. Based on the ETA 2824 with my limited knowledge a really solid movement.

 

See for your self ;)

Very Nice . You can't go wrong with a movement based on the ETA 2824...........

I don't really mod my watches , but I put a green bezel insert on this Seiko 7S26 and not only do I like it , but I have received a few compliments and offers to buy it .... The double dome sapphire crystal with a blue tint is nice too .

Love the green. Much more vibrant than mine ;) is that an aftermarket part or did they produce it in a model?

Aloha Gingerr6 , 

  Both the Bezel insert and the crystal are AM parts . Seiko had the Black or Pepsi bezel on most of their divers at that time . At some time they offered a blue dial and bezel option . The rest of the watch is original .

I had just installed the DD saphire crystal on these 3 Seiko Divers and sent some pics to the vender for their gallery of customers watches .

BTW , I don't have an Oris watch yet , and something like yours would be a nice addition , especially with that workhorse movement . You said "based on the ETA 2924"  . So which movement is in your watch ?  Is it the Chinese version ??

Yes full swiss movement. sellita started producing the 200 series. These are identical to the 2824 with the addition of an extra jewel. (i think) ;)

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers on this online but came up with nothing, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people might be able to help. I have an Elliot clock that has been in my family for at least 4 generations. I recently enherited it, and I'm trying to get it to run properly again, as it's been neglected a bit.  Here,s the problem. These clocks have a silencer mechanism, which is supposed to stop it from chiming between 11PM and 7AM but for some reason mine is silent between 1AM and 9AM. I have tried figuring out how to adjust it but have not managed. Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this? Please find attached some pictures of the clock. Thank you!
