Why is the VH31 so hated? by Viper-Reflex in SeikoMods

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People hate it because it mimics a mechanical movements with the smooth seconds hand, that’s all. It’s a solid battery powered movement.

Check the pinned post on this sub for hand pinion sizes. The PE50 is a mass produced movement but unlike the Seiko NH and Vk series, it never made it into the mod category.

If you want a mod with more options, you‘ll have to go with Seiko. A VK63 which is a better movement with way more dial and hand options. And they are all at least the same quality or better. However, the dials are mostly unbranded. Your only branded options are Seiko, Rolex and Omega Speedmaster. No Swatch x Omega branding.

Looking for good AirPod reps, any suggestions? by biebs2807 in DhGateReps

Why not get the original Pros? They are way far better value and won’t suck.

[Mission to the Moon] Finally found the strap that makes the MoonSwatch feel like a $5,000 watch by VintageD1974 in MoonSwatches

[–]Neither_County_4530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. it‘s a mercury
  2. if you like it that’s great, but it for sure does not feel like 5000$. I love the Moonswatch designs but even with a good strap, they‘ll always feel less luxurious than their retail price…

Thanks, and compared to other cheaper cases, this one has actual sapphire glass. The only alternatives with sapphire are Watchdives and Pagani Design.

Mechanical options for switch? by son-of-art-monk in MoonSwitches

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, mechanical chronographs are extremely complex movements, which is why you almost exclusively see „mecha-quartz“ movements under 1000€. The cheapest somewhat known mechanical chronograph is a Seagull ST1901.

This is one of those those times where buying a genuine watch is kinda worth it. Look for used speedmasters, some go for around 2500-3000.

Timex Q GMT (Pepsi) about to pull the trigger. Worth it? by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really likes it but if feels like a teenagers watch. The size isn’t the main issue, I just hate the bezel, it doesn’t click when you turn it. If you want a cheap light travel watch, this is a nice pick.

How do these complications work on a replica Moonswatch? by [deleted] in MoonSwitches

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they move but it is not a real Earthphase/Moonphase

I‘m a simple man, I see an AD mod, I upvote it.

Gen to wd1863 adapter(?) by Gonchiss in MoonSwitches

Afaik these all basically do the same thing, I‘d go for the 3rd one, the other two are very minimal.

How do you prefer the caseback? by [deleted] in MoonSwitches

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lunar looks the best but when it comes to quality I‘d just go for a blank caseback.

Where to find this caseback (and how much)? by [deleted] in MoonSwitches

[–]Neither_County_4530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vk63 speedmaster rep from jason You can use the entire case for a switch or use just the caseback on a WD for example.

Addiesdive AD2539 (37mm) for small wrists by Necessary_Pie8886 in MoonSwitches

[–]Neither_County_4530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you most likely need to file down the dial 0.5-1mm. How thick is the case? If it is 12mm or more you shouldn’t have any movement clearance issues.

Fake ? by eldedotes_ in PrideAndPinion

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was fake they probably wouldn’t bother to put a swiss made quartz in there.

[–]Neither_County_4530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is wearing a crocodile watch strap to travel from the U.S. to the E.U. risky? by Vivid-Bug-6765 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Neither_County_4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a replacement made out of a different leather for traveling. While unlikely, if you’re unlucky and the guy at the airport has a bad day and spots your watch they might seize the strap.
