Time for some higher quality wrist action (not mine, for sale on OF)

Missed out on a Sinn 656 today - and now I’m back looking at damasko DA36s

I do like the PRS-18Q, but I don’t think I’m looking for another diver this time. Something with a bracelet, not too dressy, and not a diver or chronograph.

A quartz Explorer, basically.

is this still for sale? for that price in that condition i thought it would fly

I have a hardon 4 Damasko.

whats OF ?!

That’s like polishing a turd. My rep must be as negative as my bank balance.

I'd be slightly cautious with watches like these as they tend to pack quite a lot of Radium in them. That, and I'm not sure why someone would want to own a Nazi watch when you can buy an IWC or JLC RAF navigator's watch which is also a more suitable size.

Because they're incredible watches and part of history and some people don't wear all of the watches they own. They are collectors pieces.

Also fairly sure that watches couldn't join the nazi party.

Ditching these... any interest?

Baby G BG-169G - working - offers/forum donation + post
Cronel Jet King - working, keeps time (didn’t notice a significant +/- over one minute) missing a bit of chrome on rear near crowns -£40 + post?
Citizen Eagle 7 - new SternKreuz crystal, runs a minute or so fast, haven’t adjusted, probably a bit magnetised, not an Ebay India special - £20 + post
Casio AQ-307 - working, bit battered - offers/forum donation + post
F-91 homage - forum donation + post

The Cronel is on a single piece chunky leather strap I made, not pretty but works. May include it if you’re desperate, but probably not worth it.

Fit of rage?

1655 tho 🤤

Edit. Steinhart. Ha.

I'll take the Baby G, please

I wish.

Still about £8k of watches accidentally dropped from a height. Box fucked but all the watches seem to be ticking. Will out them on a timegrapher later to check.

My heart sank when that happened.

Cool. It’s £50 new or something, then whatever the ebay current price is. You gonna make a good donation to the forum? Or want to send a wad to me on paypal and I do the donation minus post?

PM me to sort it all

I’ll drop you a message later, cheers

Quick update from outside a local hotel. My wife is pleased with the surprise present of the Omega. So I’m in the good books for a while - well at least until we get home!!!

I was listening through a load of 80s/90s electronic commercial music (like some of the wonderful muji in store music by Haruomi Hosono) and came across these pieces done for Seiko by Yasuaki Shimizu. Also forum-related by him would be his pieces for Bridgestone, I guess.

Keep in mind servicing a tuning fork movement is specialty work, from what I´ve heard
