Jealous


I synced my Seiko SKX with my iphone this morning around 8am and it's already -20 sec.
7S26 movement


You seriously need to do something with that thing. Mine is currently running +12s/d

All entry level stuff, currently:

Earth tone: Seiko Sarb035 on a brown leather strap.
Cool tone: Tissot Le Locle Automatique Gent on the original black leather strap.
Diver: Seiko SKX009 on a navy blue original Nato.
Field: Olive green dial Seiko 5 on a drab tan original Nato.

ETA: Now realizing that the Tissot and Seiko 5 descriptions aren't sufficient, so stock photos of what I have:

I feel like this is a sales pitch, but I'm not sure I understand

I’d love a manual winder actually. I wear one watch every day, so I could just wind it when I put it on. If I break this movement I’ll ship it back and have it converted, since they offer it now.

I bought my watch as a 40th birthday present to myself and even after 5 years it’s tge perfect watch for me. I have no wants.

I want an Omega Speedy and I’ll be set for a long time. Might be a little while on that one though.

I’d like one as well. The sapphire sandwich is beautiful, but I’d probably go hesalite just for the cool dome.

A birth year, 1974, would be what I wanted if I ever got one.

However, this has always been the DGAF, I’m buying it watch for me.

my 36 year old 16800 sub is running at -2 sec/day. Not bad for its age.
