The Watch Thread - Part 8

[radiancez567]

Do note that 7s26 movement (same as the SKX 007/009) is not hackable/handwindable.

Just don't want you to be disappointed.

But otherwise it's their workhorse movement, so to speak, even though some Seiko 5 models have upgraded to the hackable/windable 4R36 movement.

Not too particular about the hackable part. The look wise is clean enough. And overall is silent enough can liao

Thanks TeenTitan01. I'm not too particular about hackable I guess (hackable means the second hand would stop when setting time?). Most importantly it looks nice (or classic) and affordable

where to buy higher quality nato straps?

I've bought Nato straps from a few shops and also online sites, but they are the 10-20 dollar varieties that seem to be of low quality and material. Are there any better made nato straps around and where can i get them?

No 1 fear when going to Japan:

Not the radiation fear, but the potential damage to wallet.

yamatehh in April.

I prefer the Squale with the date magnifier. Also like it without the numbers.

Will pick the Glycine. The Squale looks too much like a Submariner Date..

 

[pwillie]

Vintage watch?

Yup seiko 6159

 

[pwillie]

Glycine, but choose the other version with nicer font markers
Squale has too much homage thing going on

Hi all, like to ask a question regarding my Seiko SRP641 which uses a 4R36 movement. I suspect that there is a problem with the power reserve. Normally, I'll wear my watch from 8am to 7pm, then take it off at home and the cycle repeats the next day. I noticed that sometimes, the Seiko will run out of power and stop moving the next day. I never have this problem with my 3 Orients. I'm not sure if it's because my Seiko just needed more time to be charged up fully. One way to test this is to put the Seiko on a winder for a week, then time how long it takes for the power reserve to run out, but I don't have a winder. Any bro here has another suggestion? Thanks.

Manually wind it up?
