With the loud gay as fuck music at the start and I swear you like to hear yourself talk. Took youbway to longbto getbtonthe point of the video. You could make this as a short.
I’m looking at this for my second Rolex, and that easy link extension has been a lovely luxury. I really love how bare-bones the OP is, and how well it flies under the radar. My only wish is that it came with an oyster lock clasp.
With a timegrapher, you can know instantly if the stud movement increases or decreases the beat error. I don’t see the necessity of removing the rotor etc.
Totally agree. If you have a timegrapher NO need to remove parts of the movement. This is only demonstrating how you can roughly adjust the beat error by visualizing where the jewel is resting. (Only way to see the jewel is to remove some parts of the movement)
A ni e watch, just fot my dads old perputual date just, he had it for 30 years, never serviced, wored everyday, he was a firefighter, when dirty, just threw it in the dishwasher….so it had time on it… paid rolex the 500 pound for a full service and polish up, looking great again, and it will be beating 30 years again,till my boy gets it. You don buy a rolex… you take care for it, till next generation to pass on to
Possibly. If the watch is running extremely fast it could be due to a number of things (stuck hairspring, magnetism, extrene beat error etc..). Have a good look at the hairspring and see if any of the fine coils are stuck together.
@@gkimmyreviews had it by a watch repair. Said the spring was damaged. So i just bought a nh35 movement and replaced. Now i have a watch with strong movement. 1s/d. 0.1ms. And 285 rate. 😉
I have the SKX since November 2018 and by a weird occurence, it's the least scratched watch i got , even looking newer than most of my more recent swiss pieces. This watch is Legendary...
Hahaha yeah i was thinking the same thing the other day! Maybe it is because I do not look at the fine details on the watch or am not too bothered by the small marks it picks up but it doesnt seem to pick up as many scratches in comparison!
Not sure what this gentleman is talking about. Under no circumstances should you remove the rotor or any other parts. It is normal practice to adjust beat error just as you do with adjusting if the watch is fast of slow. I've done it a dozen times on seiko movements. Other videos show you how.
Yes correct. If you have a timegrapher you do not need to take the parts out. Just adjust the 'other' lever and see the results on the timegrapher. BUT if you do not have a timegrapher, and are okay to risk damaging the watch, then you can try and visually adjust the positioning of the jewel by removing some parts of the movement to see the jewel.
A fine watch to be sure. For equal or less money you can get an impeccably detailed dial, gorgeous Delphine hands, polished indices, a movement that blows away any Rolex accuracy claims, fit and finish second to none. I’m referring to the Grand Seiko spring drive.
Good review, a watch that will last a lifetime, easy to adjust, super accurate and well built. Dress it up or down, wear it in the sea or pool, slips under a cuff, very classy!
Oh it was this item on ebay (Not affiliated in any way) www.ebay.com.au/itm/275315074538?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=IUBgZ_UnQBW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=0AFKEraVTzi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hahaha aww thanks man, I was very satisfied with the quality of the strap. Had some really disappointing ones from ebay in the past but was satisfied with this particular item
Very beautiful, timeless, and elegant seiko. I've been eyeing a different color dial off this model. The leather strap makes it a stunner. Nice watch that everyone should experience. I wear a daily SNXS77 and it keeps impeccable time.
Its definitely a very handsome watch. Ive been eyeing the SNKL17 (white dial, gold markers) for years have yet to pull the trigger. Have you had that model before?
Oh dear, im not sure about it being super easy to scratch but I can say that the 904L stainless steel didnt seem any more scratch resistant than the standard 316L that most watches use. Mine have picked up some scratches too despite me being not too active with it on (no sports or anything like that).
I also have the blue one, brought it in 97-98, only difference is mine has a solid case back instead of hardlex display. Never serviced it all these years, still running strong and still wear it. Build to last.
Oh yes I would love to someday. I think with the 8J86 you can independently adjust the hour hand without stopping the watch for multi timezone timekeeping
Depending on the movement and how it is cased, it is quite normal for the rotor to make some sound (kind of like a ratchety sound). But it would be abnormal to hear like metal on metal scratching kind of sound. Some movements make much more of a sound than others for example citizen NH rotors were much noiser than the rolex rotors.
Yeah I read the article, wasnt totally convinced as the 9F movements perform just as well and are so well finished. I must say in terms of value for money though, the 8J are the last few true bargains that remain in the Seiko lineup
Good video for getting an understanding of beat error. If anyone would like to regulate a watch a timegrapher is an absolute must, for just over £100 it’s fantastic Weischi 1000 is what I got, just great.
Great instruction! Only problem I'm having is getting a good grip on the case to loosen the case back. There's just not much to hold on to lol. I will try this technique of laying it down flat and seeing if that works.
For anyone else having the same issue, I ended up taking the spring bars out and using a blanket to grab onto the watch case while prying it loose. This worked well for me, and allowed me to hold onto the watch tightly without the edges of the case digging into my hand.
