Has anyone experienced their 6R35 losing time at -5 minutes per hour? I know that the power reserve is 70 hours and you really have to work to fully wind it, but my friend claims it lost about 10 minutes in a couple of hours and when he wound it fully,...

Has anyone experienced their 6R35 losing time at -5 minutes per hour? I know that the power reserve is 70 hours and you really have to work to fully wind it, but my friend claims it lost about 10 minutes in a couple of hours and when he wound it fully, went to bed, and woke up, the thing was 6 hours behind. Not sure if the watch was stopped or running at -6 hours. Model is SPB155J1. Thanks for any insight!

Edit: He confirmed the watch was still running in the morning (not completely…

Happy Friday, my WUS friends! 1975 was a great year, and I hope the stars were aligned in your constellation this week. 😉 Similar to the standard pie-pan Constellation with dog-leg lugs of the era, this rare reference (168.0065), from 1974 to 1977, was...

Happy Friday, my WUS friends! 1975 was a great year, and I hope the stars were aligned in your constellation this week. 😉 Similar to the standard pie-pan Constellation with dog-leg lugs of the era, this rare reference (168.0065), from 1974 to 1977, was made especially for the Japanese market. Bending tradition, this dial displays the “Omega” name at six, while the logo, “Constellation,” and “Automatic” are placed at 12. Inside is Omega’s (then) high-grade 1011 movement, currently working…

The Scoop
Up for sale is a gem of a copper/salmon dial from an impressive and overlooked brand, Fears. Hand built in Britain in small batches, the Brunswick sports a very handsome and retro-style cushion case with brushed and polished surfaces. Due to the ETA 7001, minimal hand-winding movement, the case is thin (10.5 mm without glass) and with a lug-to-lug of 44 mm, the watch will hug and love your wrist. The dial is vertically…
