[Turbo-lised]

[fffrozzz]

been looking thru this thread and other forums trying to increase my knowledge but the more undecided I've become.. I think sometimes it's best to just take the plunge and live with the decision.. cant decide between Air King 116900 and Explorer series..

the Air King looks attractive but I cant wrap my head around the prominent minute scale, it looks confusing but the yellow crown and green rolex looks nice..

explorer is simple yet very niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

why not this, http://i.imgur.com/io2FRU2.jpg

i demand more respect for Jaeger-LeCoultre!

I really like jlc. Unfortunately, I think the designs look too refined for daily use. Feel wasted to have it left frequently in watch box.

True, in house = sexpensive

Zenith hit and miss. Some ppl don't like.

Anyone knows how many hours can an automatic watch remains its movement w/o wearing?

Or is it depend on the quality of the build?
Like Rolex can last super much longer due to its fine build as compare to other?

depends on energy stored which in turn depends on how much charge was provided before putting the watch to rest (depends on you) , and the maximum energy storage capacity (depends on the movement - if you reach it, it won't charge further)

with my GS I am able to go a complete weekend i.e. friday night to rest, monday morning on wrist to work. (my weekends are usually casual)

a bro already answered your question. also, you can google a lot of stuff that you dont know. is it that difficult?

normally after how many hours didnt wear, the automatic hands movement will stop?

要看你指的是怎樣的機芯了。。。
以一般的三針機芯規格來計算，無論是eta28xx，還是sellitas sw2／3xx，a.schild s280，stp1－11，精工4r／7s##，星辰miyota 8xxx，平均續航時間為36小時（雖然瑞士機芯一般規格都咧名為38小時。。。）。

至於一些有附加功能，如，計時功能的7750／1／3／4，sw500 機芯的一般平均續航時間為40小時（雖然規格上咧名為42小時）。精工機械計時機芯我如果沒記錯，似乎是足足兩天。

特殊機芯如 hamilton pameuro，powermatic80，sistem51，chrisward sh21，就各為，60，80，90，120小時。

也许我的回应没有提到高级机芯吧。。。？

Hahahah too chim liao

use the force

 

[Crexzz]

How to check the energy level?

1. unscrew crown
2. turn time to 2210 - clockwise
3. turn time to 0915 - anticlockwise
4. turn time to 2115- clockwise
5. turn time to 1010 - anti clock wise
6. screw down crown
7. unscrew crown again
8. shake 3 times in left to right motion
9. then shake 3 times in updown motion

then you'll hear a "ting"

1 "ting" ish 1 hour, total number of "ting" is total number of hours left in reserve

Spoiler

Kidding

Usually only watches with power reserve indicator can tell you how much power is left. example - this watch

If you'll doubtful of your watch power holding capability, google on how many turns of the crown is needed to fully wind your watch, wind it, set the time to a fixed whole hour and let it sit on your desk. check the time again when the watch come to a complete stop
