What time is it? Watches and horology

I've also got a watch in need of service/repair. SKX007 (nearly 3yo), which no longer runs - I can hear it winding, the crown works fine to set date and time but the only time the second hand advances is when the watch is shaken. It literally stops as soon as it's still.

What's the probably diagnosis?

Ooh fun! I guess (and it is a guess) that the ratchet wheel spring has failed.

ayyyyye

I think youll find hes making a joke about not knowing about the speedy....

Daaaaahhh

Pics of Bulova please

out of curiosity why are you getting rid? Not happy with it? I keep getting tempted to order one of their Squale "homage"/ripoffs.

A watch I was after became available before the Steeldive even arrived, and I had to buy. Simple money raising exercise.
The quality is quite amazing for the price.

It’s Friday! New Apple Watch on today - looks rubbish but does the job. I won’t bother posting a pic.
What have you got on today?

Looks better than my Apple Watch 😁

Sailcloth strap would be so fitting on the Margrette.

really starting to like the Steinhart - I keep eyeing off the Ti Ocean 1 - just not keen on the dimensions.

Is it better to sell a watch on Chrono24 or eBay? Taking into account fees or getting screwed over

Good old SKX on Murts special today.

I'm thinking about switching bezel to a sloped, insertless type (pilots? I think I've sent him called)

They're the same as the Ocean One?

Too big?

They obviously do a 39mm in regular

Thanks for everyones recommendations for a new watch. I've spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at all sorts of options. I'm still on the fence about anything at 38mm or more, as i have narrow wrists. Would a second hand Seamaster quartz be a stupid idea? Size is good, lower servicing costs etc. But would a 2nd hand quartz movement have much life left in it?
