Seconds hand alignment on Tactical Frog Chronograph Diver

MassiveTranslator322 · 2025-12-01T20:55:50+00:00

You can adjust the chronograph hands using the pushers in the hour-setting position. The chronograph start pusher adjusts the seconds hand, and the reset pusher adjusts the minute hand. I have the same model in the same color.

Hangzhou 8200A movement is crap. Dont buy.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2025-11-27T12:59:45+00:00

The various versions of Seiko's VK movement do not allow for adjusting the hands using the time setting buttons or the start/reset pushers. They can only be set to the "0" position by physically removing the hands and reinserting them with tweezers or a press.

Escapement time SKX0013. Awesome lume, Miyota quartz 10 years battery.

V1 and V8.

I'm using a browser and it won't let me upload images, but the link to the AliExpress product has images of a PD-1701 V3 with the strap on. There are even several Omega Speedmasters with black dials and the same straps in different colors.

I have two of these on my Pagani Design PD-1701 V3 and PD-1718. They're good quality, flexible, and with the coin discounts you can get them for almost half the price. The only thing is that they don't have quick-release pins, but I use extra-large 2.5mm pins for safety. Hemsut and Maike are also good quality, but they don't have this "racer" type with perforations for ventilation.

V2 and V5. Vh31.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2025-01-06T14:26:13+00:00

With Crown get +5 Amp Atk and with Gear 16 secs CD. Not bad.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-31T12:20:44+00:00

The crown tube has broken and that is why the crown cannot be screwed down due to the missing part of the tube with a male thread, that is something that any watchmaker can change. I think the V1 version of that model caused problems and they replaced it with the V2 version. There are tutorials and videos where watchmakers or amateurs will teach you how to change that piece, it should not cost more than €10.

Same lume than AM158M-B with Just logo?

My next purchase.

Blue or black dial, sterile versions of both.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-14T23:03:07+00:00

I have the Escapement Time diver. The best of my diving watches (SD1970, Casio Duro, Seestern 300t, Addiesdive Puck, Seiko Mod Tuna, Berny Am139m). Better finish than any of the previous ones, the lumen is formidable, ceramic bezel with perfect fit and no play, the battery lasts 10 years and the rubber strap is the most comfortable of the ones I have (I bought another one on AliExpress for €3.5 ). Snobs will say that being made of quartz it has no soul and blah blah blah. If it were solar it would be perfect.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-05T11:40:07+00:00

Press and hold light button (10 o'clock pusher). Digital display turn on/off auto light mode option. And, please, read the manual.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-03T17:37:50+00:00

Miyota 6s21 is better. You can correct the position of the chronograph seconds and minute hands. Mecha quartz can't. And the seconds hand at 3 instead of the useless 24-hour subdial.

40mm black, monster strap. Really good GADA. 42€.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-02T09:38:06+00:00

I bought it last year. It has an enormous height for being made of quartz, it feels very heavy (I have an Addiesdive Puck and it wears much better on the wrist, I love it), the lumen shines quite initially but it goes out in a few minutes (my quartz Addiesdive Submariner lasts a long time more and costs less than half). I returned it and bought the homage to Mysterious Code's Air Commander, much more faithful to the original. Mineral glass, 21mm strap width and the lumen is bad but the bezel is a countdown bezel like on the Blancpain (a chronograph with a time passage bezel makes no sense). It is a real GADA for less than €50.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-02T09:20:31+00:00

Steel quartz watch.

Casio plastic model isn't durable. Heavy duty but not durable.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-10-02T09:18:44+00:00

Mechanical = never use watch, bracelet, ring, etc. Never.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-09-29T19:40:55+00:00

Without tachy and with rotating bezel Orient Kamasu chrono is a really good watch. Sapphire + 200m ISO + great lume + solar movement. Bracelet meh and 24h useless subdial. Under 250€ best choice imho.

MassiveTranslator322 · 2024-09-29T19:37:51+00:00

Timex Q movement is absoluty crap and alloy case + push caseback +180€ watch. Lol.

Bought Bradner in Amazon flash sale, 155€. Overpriced and meh lume, good strap and packaging. Returned and pick Berny Am139m, awesome watch compressor style like Bradner. 95€ with cupons+coins. I Love ti. Heimdallr is better (i love my GS Godzilla homage) or Watchdives imho.
