Should the lume color always be the same throughout?
Or does it look better, or even work better when 2 (or more) lume colors are mixed?

It looks like they are located in Germany, and they have 2 models. See below.
It's almost impossible for anyone to F this up, using this standard (but excellent and classic) design, and V 7750.
Around $ 1,300 USD.
Does anyone have actual expe…

When / how did have yours?
It could be wearing the WRONG watch (for the occasion), or NO watch (when you should be wearing one), or doing the wrong thing wearing that perfect watch,… etc.
I had mine today.
I thought I'd do some minor cleaning…
Finding NH movements on Ali Express: Real vs…?
Is that even a question?
Are there 'real' Japan made NHxx movements for sale on Ali X?
Or are they all China-made clones?
They used to be available for as low as $30 – 35 + shipping.
But they've all gone up in price in the last coupla …
Other than bad photos, what else about a seller / store would get you to reject them?
On ebay, I just saw a "legit" seller, located in Indonesia.
A long time member, a huge number of positive feedback, etc.
Reasonable price on FedEx shipping.
All good.
But what annoyed me to no end was, the same ANGLE of photos.
No, not same …
Ali Express Copies — Which ones will be made in perpetuity? And which not?
I am always a bit surprised when a particular model – copied from a more famous precedent – is suddenly discontinued.
Continue readingIt’s not like they cost so much to make that they cannot keep making them even if at a lower volume, when they sell them for so low anyway. It seems to me, that there is ALWAYS a market for copies of well-known “iconic” models. So why not keep them all going?
On a tangent, I still cannot figure out why Seiko discontinued the SPORK, but then,
Seiko have a weird and…

There are some handsets that are canonic, and have their own nicknames. Mercedes, Plongeur, etc.
And Seiko have a few “iconic” designs that they use for their Turtle andTuna; What are they called, “Harpoons”? Fugly little things.
Continue readingAnd Seiko have a few “iconic” designs that they use for their Turtle andTuna; What are they called, “Harpoons”? Fugly little things.
But given that many famous hand designs are found inside diver watches, one would think they have primarily, if not solely, one function that MIGHT over-ride all other concerns.
Which is NOT to say that ‘looking good’ is not also their primary concern.
Anyway…

A VERY weird phenom: NH abrupt change in speed issue
I am regulating 6 watches – all are running on the NH35 movement.
After 12 hours, 3 are running + 1 sec, 3 are slow by about -5.
The weird:
30 minutes ago, 3 of those running at -5 NOW were actually running at -10 then.
So this means, they ALL som…

Some regulators popped up in my feed.
Continue readingThere was a time years ago, when I thought I wanted one.
And then, after reading about their origin — and their subsequent irrelevance in terms of the very function for which they were invented– I said “Meh.”
I’d still wear one if I got one as a gift, but I don’t think I’d spend my own $ to buy one.
It seems like an affectation at best, and an irrelevant anachronism.
Your take?
