Oris Aqua Date.

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) ;)

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • 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.
