The cheap Amazon tool I got is failing to grip and lock into the case back slots and rather than gouge and ruin my case I would like to hear what tool works for you guys when doing maintenance or battery changes.

I feel like i hit the accuracy jackpot with my Murph
I know it’s still settling in and it’s likely to change over time, but my Murph gained a second the first day i had it, and and bit over a week later it’s still hasn’t gained another second. I think it might be close to 2 seconds fast after a week. Really kinda hard to read a fraction of a second.
Continue readingBy contrast, my Seiko Turtle, still relatively new is running just shy of +2 a day, which I still think is pretty good. My Bulova Military UHF is very accurate of course, it has only lost a second…

A collab with a couple of Japanese game designers, the newest Boulton features a black pvd case (titanium, by the way), 36 x 48mm (not including…
Intra-matic Auto Chrono – Should this be a full service?
I bought an Intra-matic Chrono Auto (the panda variety) a few years ago and absolutely loved it. Pretty quickly though I felt like the screw down crown didn’t feel right. I should have made a warranty claim but didn’t – over time it got worse and worse until now it feels like it has almost no thread left. (For what it’s worth – I have numerous other screw down crown watches and never had a problem – and I’ve seen other people report similar problems with the Intra-matic screw down crown as…
