finally gotten this watch ytd after month of contemplating

yes i hate my 6" wirst, sort of cant live up to the watch size...

the watch was the last piece, sort of "display" set, but all the plastic wrapper still intact
the shop gave me $20 discount i bought it
then came some afterthought... having realized it is kinetic, i now fear that the capacitor might had degraded as the watch is likely to maintained at a low charged while being "display" for god knows how long...
and i will have no way of telling

i just bought this too last week (ebay) too!
the bracelet is mass-ive and too rigid so currently have a replacement strap on the way.

U intend to wear everyday? If yes automatic should not deter u as the power reserve will be enough and u no need to wind everyday

If u dun wear everyday, occasionally wind and adjust also ok mah hahah

New hoot!!

heuer making money after all the vintage owners spent all that cash creating the heuer vintage market.

same as all the big watch brands going vintage dive style - a trend started by the microbrands 10 years ago?

the big brands are dying - no creativity, no ideas - their biggest success are all near copy of reissues.

Change to leather strap, the watch will immediately look "smaller".

thank you! but too complicated for my liking leh

 

[philipsony]

Even a brand new piece will be kept in a drawer with no chance of being charged.

should not be a problem, I've just bought a Seiko kinetic last month.. an older model then.....It was an very old stock.. so far no issue .. wear it for few days continuous .. and the power reserve is fine ..

this is reassuring
