The Watch Thread - Part 10

[cyrenic]

might wanna send your watch for servicing...

Yeah I'm gonna do that, just wondering why.

Googling suggests a possible cause is the seconds hand is stuck on the crystal.

 

[cyrenic]

One of the gear tooth could have dirt/rust on it and fail to engage the other gears, resulting the issue to always occur at the same area at each cycle.

OIC. It's erratic though. Sometimes it will go past smoothly, but other times it will just stop there.

Oh wells.

 

[reikizi]

Very nice photos cichlid.

Wanted to ask - what is the cause of an automatic watch second hand getting stuck at the same position? When shake a bit, or pull out the crown and put back, it will move. Power reserve almost fully charged.

it happen to my sinn quite some time (few months) after i send for servicing
the hand always stuck at 35mins

As it was still under service warranty, the repairer fixed it for me without charge. quite fast job got it within 2-3 days (their servicing took 4 weeks)

so far so good now

 

[Lezzare]

Just a suggestion.

We find a day, and Cichlid helps us take nice photos of our watches. We pay a sum and this goes to charity. Of course it may be inconvenient to Cichlid so I think it's also fair for him to charge a fee to cover his transport or whatever.
I'd love for him to take pics of my watches.

any takers?

Great idea. Then can compile the pics for a calendar.

WOTD...Hail Hydra

Phew, hope mine is also quite mild case. Everything else was fine before this, and it seems to keep time well, other than the getting stuck part.

Did your repairer tell you what was the issue for your Sinn? Thanks.

Its very difficult to tell the difference solely with a naked eye

but of course... the position of the cyclops window looks weird as well

The two in question from Ed Yeo's post:

watch 1:

watch 2:

Which ones are fake?

 

[Henabi]

COERN... I really salute you!!!

tbh, if you never crop, zoom in and magnify the 6 o clock area... its REALLY easy to miss the LEC

so... can say certain people's rolex can just burn it?! =P

Ed Yeo's post, watch 1:

see two more examples from Cichlid of the correct font:

那那那~~~先声明先啊！我不是有意要挑起你们紧张的神经呀！
我PO的那两张相第一只绿巨人是我们另一位錶友的。。。

Long time no post.

然后见到接下来的回应。。。

wah, all the Rolex Submariners come out liao。。。

才仔细的与香港论坛錶友的绿巨人做详细观察与对比，加上山尼师兄在錶行拍的那张。。。

山尼与KokJj87几乎一样，而且新港两地三只錶都有序号但是有三个地方不同。。。于是我在香港论坛回应我的发现：

師兄唔好太紧张先。。。你隻錶嘅内圈有“身份号码”，我無话你隻錶有问题。。。
只是同我PO上嘅两隻相比，有些唔同之处。。。我系諗紧系唔系唔同批次采用嘅防伪标志姐。。。
1。你嘅SWISS MADE的S，字体同坡版有别。
2。你嘅SWISS MADE的I，同31秒嗰条线几乎连成一线，坡版两线有偏。
3。你嘅等于标志“=”直接位在個C上面，坡版远离嗰C好多。。。（留意soilwork师兄的=标志位置）

直到现在那錶友还没回应。。。或者他紧张的拿他那只绿巨人去HKRSC查证吧？

Initially I thought the spacing and the font sizes were weird... but can't really pin point it. now with it zoomed in and side by side.

Its clear as Day.

All rolex watch parts from the other 3 manufacturing facilities are sent to the Rolex HQ for final assembly, testing etc

any slight deviation will be taken out (unless some mishap happened to the watches while it is on its way to Rolex ADs)

so technically, there's a reason why people generally says that Rolex make watches which are just... perfect

 

[Seannie]

Chey hk alot fake rolexes. Everywhere only rolexes. Think they only know this brand. Lol. Means both watches from ed yeo's post are fakes. 是吗?

hat tip to you guys...for being able to tell base on a pic

but isn't the most obvious telltale is how dull the dial looks under sunlight?
