What time is it? Watches and horology

I think the point of this is that it's a 'Swiss' Quartz movement - maybe a Ronda? E.g. 'better' than the standard Quartz movements that they use.

At least the Sinn has a ETA 955 in, accurate to +/- 10s per year.

Most low/mid range quartz are +/- 10s per month.

In my experience, even the +/- 10s a year is ambitious. My Aerospace, with a modified ETA 988.352 has not lost a single second since mid Jan.

As per my previous question, I found something very Royal Oak-esque.

That's interesting.... What is it?

Unbranded, Chinese made but has a Miyota automatic movement

Don’t think a single one of those indexes is on straight... this is graphic designer kryptonite... pure evil

screws line up nicely though...

Didn't notice til then. Best part is that they had a grid too follow. 3 o'clock.

Interesting though!

Those are actually nuts. The actual screwheads/bolts are on the back.

I find it amazing that manufacturing screws to ultra precision to make them line up when tight isn't something that AP (or anybody else) can do yet.

The SBS issue model is quartz though

thanks... you can tell because they are hexagons!

steel and red oris is great.

Incredibly hard as the thread has to start at exactly the same point on the bolt. Same goes for the hole. As does the tension on each bolt. Bit like trying to stop oil tankers on the same line. 😎

I'm very attached to my Traser watch. It's been a constant companion since it was issued to me in 2003

Long term fancy of mine as well.

What's the quality like? Is the bezel unidirectional?

I really want a chunky and cheapish tritium beater but everything I've tried so far just feels a bit flimsy. I haven't handled a Traser yet.

Sorry a bit late to the black watch / PVD party . Just in ......

What's a good single watch travel pouch? Not keen on a wallet as I don't want the bracelet to rub on the watch.

Any suggestions?

A rolled up sock.

Already in use.
