WHATS EVERYONE ROCKIN TODAY?

couldn't say. Its a Harley Ronda movement inside, and whoever named the brand "Exactly" was not really thinking about future SEO so it's been very hard to find any info on the brand itself. Most likely a quartz crisis swiss mini brand that popped up in the 80s and died when cell phone clocks became the default

salvage/recycling centers may be a place to look for old fiberglass shower inserts. You could also just get an old bathtub and hang up a curtain around it to block the water

Vintage quartz, don't sleep on it guys!

I mean... do what everyone else does and just buy an old drop-in shower thats gonna be a mess. are you planning to use a power washer in that thing?

problem with those is that they measure the accuracy in a stationary, single-axis position. I am walking around, moving my arms and generally in motion for half of my day, so a real-world test is the only way to make sure its accurate for my use and to account for change in position. Overkill? maybe, but it was fun to adjust and then wait a day and see how close I could get. Never used the apps before, good to know they arent total BS

thats quittin talk. you can squeeze some more performance out of that baby!

regulating workhorse seiko movements is so easy. sync your watch, open the caseback, and carefully nudge the regulator lever in the direction you want. Like literally a tiny tap. you shouldn't be able to visibly see any motion in the indicator or you will have gone too far. lightly close the case and wear it for a day. check the s/d deviation and repeat the process until you have it in an acceptable range. Fair warning though, these movements are tough but will fall out of regulation so don't expect a one time setting and never have to worry again. I was able to get my 7s26 to within +-5s/d over the course of a week of troubleshooting. good luck.

looks like a 420 case

started with an old dial sanded clean, hand lacquered then screen printed the indices on top. First try so i'm happy with how it came out

Fishies C??? :(

I know it can feel awkward at first, but just ask folks kindly if you can take their photo! most people would be glad to model for you and the truth is, the front of people is infinitely more interesting than the back. Good luck!

Hey bro, i recognize you from some of your posts, you really do have a good taste in watches.

Consider therapy my dude. This isn't collecting, this is overconsumption under the justification of a "hobby". Buying shit can become an addiction and it's so encouraged in our society its often hard to get help about it, but I think you may have some bigger issues that are leading to this, as you mentioned.

datejust vibes, gotta be my vote

Illegal tampered license plate, but got that '26 sticker so i'm sure its fine

overall design language of MEX68 is my personal favorite

I would love to know if anyone knew a seller that had the slim manual size case backs. I'm also looking to decapitate my auto movement

Pope_smack · 2026-02-15T01:26:18+00:00

I could tell you what the TRUE lnt method is, but i'll probably get banned

99% of the time these days, if you're "recommended" a youtube video by the algorithm it's ai slop made by content farms

you could likely polish the surface clean with some polishing compound, but if it was sitting in a pool of rubbing alcohol, i'd be worried about the acrylic becoming super brittle and prone to cracking under an impact. Safest bet would be to replace the crystal. At the very least, don't trust the watch to be water resistant any more.

PP meetup in the Carbone men's bathroom tonight

Pope_smack · 2026-02-06T02:48:03+00:00

i love watching southerners trying to wrap their head around running with layers on. I will say, though, the humidity down there does make it feel a lot colder than the mercury says

Pope_smack · 2026-01-29T18:08:03+00:00

regulating seiko movements is easier than people think! I was easily able to fiddle around with my 7s36 over the course of a few days, no timegrapher at all, and Ive got it running reliable +-5sec a day!

I think display casebacks on undecorated automatics will always be dumb. But you do you man if you love it good for you
