What time is it? Watches and horology

Maybe says calibre number on the back? I dont know which year IWC stopped using ETA.

I think it's clear who the winner is here.

30.5mm 6430 from 1979. Nice change from my f91-w. Thanks for the people on here who convinced me not to sell it. Still seldom gets worn. Might try and get a 34mm air king from the early 2000s to be a daily wearer

Been wearing this all week.

Doesn’t seem much point in wearing anything else.

Finally got around to fitting the moody Erika's strap.

So comfortable! My fingers, not so much.

Some nice Omegas for reasonable money went live on Black Bough today. https://www.blackbough.co.uk/found-in/watches/vintage-watches/

I think your dial is better.

I have a watch with Sellita SW-200 and it runs within 3s/d, usually more like 1-2s fast. It doesn't bother me that it's not ETA. Or is it?

I’ll take a look this eve. Been wearing the Garmin mostly on lockdown

This turned up today. Also have the NASA G-Shock turning up.

Bought this limited Worn & Wound Lorier on a whim. Quite like it but not sure if I like it that much to be perfectly honest. They sold it in 20 seconds, so was surprised I managed to grab one.

Pusher to crown ratio is pretty funky!

Looks great. I saw they sold out crazy quickly. Manual movement right?

Edit - should have seen the manual text on the dial duh!

The hands look like they were designed using shapes in PowerPoint

If you haven't flipped that by the end of next week I will be amazed

Quite like this.

V art deco.

End of next week?

It’s been on eBay for half an hour already! I am a terrible person for flipping yada yada yada.

And yes, manual seagull chrono. Reset pusher feels flimsy as fuck. Do not want. I do however like the case shape, size and bracelet. Very nice bracelet. If Lorier used less shit hands, I’d be tempted by a three hander model, but this... not so much.

Interesting idea these new Freese watches, cool snowflake homage you’ve chosen. I’m thinking this would be the nearest I could get to a mil-sub. Are you pleased with it so far?

I only got it today, and I absolutely love it... Nice to be supporting Simon, and I was pleased to get the first of his new 002 watches. Am slightly worried that the Mrs is going to steal it off me, as she is normally completely disinterested in any of my watches, but seems to love the FreeseFlake

Oris on the bracelet which I finally managed to figure out how to adjust

I've seen a nice auto watch that is in good nick, but the seller has stated that the power reserve is only for a handful of hours. Is that a warning sign of bigger problems, or a mainspring that needs changing?

Depends if the seller knows what they are taking about.
I bought a "broken" Seiko 5 a few years ago for a couple of quid because they seller said it only works for a few minutes if it's shaken then stops again.
Took a punt and it turned out to be fine, seller didn't understand autos.

It also could need a service, and may not be cheap, it depend on how much you’re willing to pay for it.

yeah, although its had a recent service...
