Me, I’d replace a regular quartz movement with a thermocompensated one. I’m sure that there are a mess of ETA movements that are the same size as one of ETA’s PreciDrive thermocompensated models. I’m not sure I’ve seen any PreciDrive movements offered for sale at the usual sellers of watch parts. I haven’t looked very hard, however.
It was a manufacture issue taken care of by a send back/service. No need to be condescending. You the one commenting on a multi-year old video bro 🤦♂️
😮People buy a product according to the aesthetics. It's how it makes us feel. We ignore its flaws in favor of presentation.We are about to elect a president that way!
I’m sure you have already figured this out but if you get it up to full charge it should maintain a charge as kind as you want. Once fully charged and you wear it at least once per month, like I do, you will always have enough charge.
Are u still with it? Would you provide a 5 year update? Been interested in one but wsnt it to last. So your long term feedback is much appreciated, best!
Can anyone share their experience with the waterproofing on this watch? I couldn’t find any videos or detailed information online. Is it reliable for daily showers, splashes, or riding in the rain?
I just saw your video. You have no idea how much some of us appreciate that you aren't just showing off you rolexes etc. This two tone lunar pilot and your wrist timex one... amazing pieces. It shows that you dot need to spend a lots of money to have very cool and unique pieces.
Oh man! When this popped up, all I could see was “saw your video. You have no idea…” and I was ready for all kinds of insults. lol Opened the app and was not prepared for a compliment. Haha! Thank you so much for the kind words. You made my morning! 🙏
I have an older Casio Solar Atomic and it required a lot of charging in the sun, rarely reaching high charge. I ran it that way for over 10 years, and eventually it would hardly get to medium level so I replaced the battery. Now it charges to high and thus the battery was always the problem. If I were you I'd get a new battery and an LED watch charger and whenever it gets down to medium or low give it a night on the lower level in the LED charger, or a day in the sun. Avoid getting the watch hot which the LED on high may get too warm, and full direct sun may also be too hot. But keep charging it till it registers high and make sure power save is on, then it will survive storage better.
I can see taking Los Angeles CA off the dial, and even not putting Nashville TN on, but how about a U.S.A. on the bottom of the dial. Most Swiss companies do (or did) put SWISS under the 6.
Long Island watch makes an excellent metal jubilee for SKX, solid end links and milled clasp, they even give you a screw driver that fit the screws perfectly (Scews, not pin and collar links) and thick spring bars that fit better than Seiko spring bars. $59.00 a no brainer.
Why don't you buy yourself a Skmei full metal for only 28 pounds pretty much the casino full metal looks like it same size, and even the same looks and weight match, so look into one you will be amazed. Why don't you buy yourself a Skmei full metal watch for only 28 pounds? The casino full metal looks like it's the same size, and even the same design and weight match. Take a look at one and you will be amazed, or simply charge the watch more.or just charge the watch moor.
I have a couple of tough solar/ multiband 6 g shocks (looking at getting one of these in the gmw b5000 range) I just keep them on a windowsill in a spare room when not in use. They always have full power and recieve atomic clock radio signal nightly.
I have had a Hesalite Omega Speedmaster Professional MoonWatch, A Mark II Omega Speedmaster, A 3511.50 Automatic/Date Speedmaster & sold many others as an Omega retailer, and I can assure you that is not true for the Speedmaster. Nor is it true for for the other lines, as the Seamasters are some of the best designed & built diving focused timepieces in the industry. But okay
I bought this watch from a Japanese shop in, I think it was 2020. It was their last one. I also have a Seiko titanium without any DLC coating. I'm always torn because I like the natural look of titanium but I also really like the strength and 'feel' of the DLC. Anyway, this watch is a real treasure. It's amazing how light it feels on the wrist in spite of its size.
You hate solar for your purposes? Just don't store it in a dark place. It's not so difficult. Also i saw a beat up B5000 and it looked awesome. So no need to worry about scratches at all.
I keep mine in a Southern facing window sill and it is always fully charged, even if I haven’t touched it for months. As others have mentioned, the power reserve is many months if fully chaeged when you put it away.
You got a sub, I love your collection. Omega guy myself, you don't see a MKll everyday in a collections and that Planet Ocean ref I have always wanted. I could see an Omega mil spec 300 fitting into that collection. What model is your Porsche? Sorry I need to set the scene for myself :)
This is so cool. If I wasn't obsessed with my original lunar pilot, this would force my hand to buy it. For the last six years I've worn the BLP all the time, but especially when failure is not an option. Currently in grad school and it's on my wrist a lot for that reason. So I can't justify the meteorite because it's just too cool and I'd end up wearing it instead of my current LP. Not a bad problem to have. Thanks for the vid
Which is better, the all black on resin or the silver on metal bracelet? I like the look of the silver, I’m just worried I will hate the cheap bracelet. Any thoughts feedback (from anyone) would be greatly appreciated.
