Periodic Watch Baw thread

I quite like the dial and the 1970s colorways. It is a chunky watch at 43mm x 15.4 thick and a lug to lug of over 50mm so it helps if you have a 7.25 or above flat wrist.

The Selitta SW200-1 Elabore is a solid movement but its weak point is hand winding which I would avoid as much as possible.

KS watches from new companies are always a crapshoot but the backer price is reasonable enough.

Sounds like for $100 can upgrade to "top grade"

So you have to hand wind it is not automatic? I think it is just that hand winding is possible a d you can strip it

I got suckered on watch gsng wheel spin

I won NTH I like it and Oceaneva Sea Deweller homage also like but probably would not have bought with out dreams of spinning Omega


Really thinking Sinn at some point

The older I get, the smaller of a watch I prefer. Not ladies small, but I can't stand swinging a dinner plate on my wrist.

Tool watches for tools.

I personally wouldn't pay more for a Top the Elabore is fine and they say it will be adjusted in 3 positions.

It is an automatic watch but you can hand wind if the movement has stopped. The Sellitta SW200 is a copy of the ETA 2824 but the SW200 has a high failure rate for the gears that are used to handwind it. It has to do with the difference in the tooth shape on the Sellitta gears. Nothing wrong with the movement otherwise I would just be careful about handwinding routinely and be slow and deliberate when I did.

I think you said you have a large wrist which is good for this watch. There is very little if any taper on the bracelet and the clasp is a chunk as well. It is a common clasp on KS an microbrand tool watches. I only own one microbrand (a Hexa made for the WUS dive watch forum) and while the clasp is very useful with the on worst micro-adjust it is quite bulky.
