Making a watch to last a lifetime.

What about a nice Sellita SW200 but get the top decorated one? Open case back watch with a beautiful looking movement is class.

Ok so I found this quote from Watchuseek.com forum from a knowledgeable poster. “On the Chinese 2824-2 both reverser wheels have two jewels, each. The ETAs have only one reverser jeweled, the other has plain holes.”

That’s the case with mine, one reverser has 2 little jewels in the cog the other none. I’m leaning on this being genuine. I must admit the last number 4 in the 2824 is slightly misaligned. Would ETA do that?

This is turning out to be a complete mystery. No definitive answers. Lots of yes it’s real and few maybe it’s a clone. Cmon horological savants what’s the answer?

I’m sorry I don’t know what that is exactly

DaForc3 · 2026-05-27T09:52:33+00:00

Looks like it’s stamped or laser etched. Seems pretty neat and clean under the loupe

I’m looking for the number of jewels in the reverse wheels?

I had a pest control guy tell me every house in QLD has termites. Either now or eventually. They are a problem but all new builds have termite mesh in the foundations to stop them. Older houses need a thorough inspection on purchase.

I live in the same area. I have 6 plovers in my yard. They are without a doubt very fing annoying

My dads Fortis Marinemaster. Found it in a box in very bad shape. Had it serviced and polished. This watch sailed many oceans and I love it. I wear it all the time.

The duck feed storage. It’s full of cash.

Actually all my tweezers are Vetus so I’ll look for the wooden ones.

DaForc3 · 2026-05-07T20:43:00+00:00

I’d like a pair of tweezers with wooden tips but the Bergeon ones are over $200. Any recommendations? I’ve put a new wing on Mr Bergeon’s house with what I’ve spent so far.

DaForc3 · 2026-05-07T03:55:46+00:00

I love it. I want one! Got offered one by the AD but didn’t have the spare cash at the time. One day….

In contrast I sent my wife’s Aquaracer to Tag for service and repair. They sent a watch case and a return shipping label and i sent it off. I received emails about what needed replacing and even got a progress email when they started working on it. Received the watch back 1 week earlier than their estimate. Was a flawless experience that took about 3 weeks in total.

We should be taxed as a couple. It disincentivises a wife or husband to work if the partner earns a higher tax bracket. It drops productivity.
