The Watch Thread - Part 9

[AyuReady]

Recently had my eye on the Batman and can't seem to get my mind off it. Damn!

Cool Moonwatch. I think I saw your query on sgroc yesterday.

Yes bro, spend last night reading. Seems like a worthy watch!
Hoot ah!

Photo coming up!

 

[AyuReady]

Not yet size the bracelet

Size of the box and the various accessories relative to the watch.

40mm Gmt for comparison, realized the lug of the speedy is much longer than most of my watch who are usually shorter and fatter

no more battery leaks = maintenance fee

solar quartz watches are the future for the masses!

师兄这一点就太乐观啦。
太阳能动力还是要靠一粒可充电电池储电，电池太久没充，还是用了一段以年计算的日子，还是会坏。。。 。。。始终还是要换的。如果我没记错的话，老吴上次换过一粒。。。好像大概80吧。。。

Orient Rainbow dial going for USD122 @ Massdrop

Is it a good price??

Its shipping only to US and Canada...

 

[GegeV2]

Yup.

Doesn't matter for me though.

If shipping doesn't matter.. At the moment i think yes.. But for some models Amazon might have a lower price previously..

not a advertiser, just wanted to know if any seiko dudes try shaggyhighendseiko?

Bought my gs from him. Authenticated at thong sia. No issues dealing with shaggy, only problem is its cash only so if that makes you uncomfortable I suggest don't buy

not difficult to get ample daylight even if not direct sunlight in singapore. the technology has come a long way since the 80's brother. my 2015 citizen solar can connect to gps satellite to update the time, i leave it on my dresser and it has 1.5 YEARS of battery charge in it every time i check.

I think what he meant was it's still battery operated and will soon conk out after a few years as battery itself has a life time. Replacement of battery may cause slight abit to replace.

It's true. Depending on the battery, if you keep charging it (not sure the tech has a way to stop overcharging, cutting off power to the battery once it's full), battery will still spoil easily. As compared to normal quartz where non rechargeable battery is left running thru out its lifespan.

Its moonphase day. Did a group shot:

Except that it's not a battery, it's a capacitor that holds charge, and in its very low voltage application will outlast the mechanisms it's hooked up to.

The lack of reflections from a matte surface makes the dial highly legible:
