The Watch Thread - Part 10

Happy Hump Day. Anyone going to theatre later?

Hi seniors out there,

I have owned a SEIKO SKX007 for about 6 months now. I realised the watch seems to be going slower - meaning, about every 10 days, I will need to re-adjust the time manually (by about 5mins). Is this common may I ask? Thanks in adv.

-20/+40 is seiko spec for 7s26. so adjusting every 10 days sounds almost about right. its a basic movement, cant really expect much out of it. if you are bothered by it, bring it to a watchmaker to get it regulated.

Just sold off this unique watch to a friendly bro earlier today.

Just curious, how much is this beauty worth now? Very very beautiful.

Your 7S26 movement has accuracy rated at -20 to +40 seconds per day approximate. So 30 sec per day is acceptable?!

I am on the lookout for a Grand Seiko but they aren't really calling out to me here. Looking for a locket white dial isn't all that easy. Saw a really nice rose gold Ginza boutique edition but it's going for 500,000yen and the dial is black. Where did you purchase your Grand Seiko if I may ask. Thank you.

Bought this from some other forum...

Wonder if I'll be lucky enough for another GS!?!

i miss japan. summer now? your shirt not hot?

tell me about it man. that's why I come here every few months.
short flight. nice place. good food. safe. easy for kids. honestly not THAT expensive.

not that bad, not the july-august kind of hot. in fact it was perfect with the sun out yet the wind is very cool. Perfect if I have to say it.

BALL的广告策略实在做的太成功了！
现在新一代消费者一想到入门级瑞士錶，就会马上BALL的品牌马上就浮现在脑海中。。。

I think at the entry price point, longines is very hard to beat. Decent brand recognition, decent enough finishing and tried and tested movements.

Sandoz not bad price point for a Swiss watch

 

[Henabi]

You can consider micro brands like steinhart or squale. Less than 1 k gets you decent watch
