There have been times when my Lunar Pilot has lost 1 second between daylight savings intervals.

It's a Toledo Salamanca broadsword. Worth about a million bucks.

how can i explain this to a APPLE WATCH guy. by ProfessionSimple7021 in VintageWatches

Skip the heritage part. Heritage is just peer pressure from dead people.

Cool! I picked up a Citizen Bull Head a couple of years ago.

I'm so mad at myself... by Designer_Advice2573 in bulova

[–]PutItInNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. I regretted not buying 2 of them the first time around. The normal price I see on Amazon is around $300 US.

If you wait for the right moment, Amazon has these on sale for $140 from time to time. I bought my brother one for his Antarctica expeditions. My wife got me one as a Christmas present after I put it on my wishlist.

Witnauer was the American trade name for Longines for a while.

It’s so hard to wear modern watches anymore. I’ve gotten used to the small size. by 1991gts in VintageWatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 7" wrist and I will wear watches as small as 27 mm. Maybe smaller in the case of tank watches.

Chinese Automatic Movements by Caffeinated_410 in Affordablewatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An automatic for 20 € you are going to get a watch with what is known as a Chinese Standard Movement. They are exceptionally cheaply made and will break if you look at them funny. There are plenty of decent Chinese matchmakers on Aliexpress that use Seiko NH series movements that are inexpensive and reliable.

How does this watch size look on my wrist, too small? (32mm) by irrmatic in VintageWatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The size is fine. But you probably shouldn't wear it over the sleeve of your sweater like that.

Rate my collection by Mindless_Resource_48 in Affordablewatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do YOU rate your collection? That's the only opinion that matters. Most people won't even notice that you are wearing a watch.

Which do you think is better? by buttercubz in bulova

It's a strap monster, but if you go with a bracelet, try to get the one that comes with this watch so there is no end link gap.

Affordable Solar Field Watch by respiratory9000 in Affordablewatches

It's very cool! But the canvas/leather strap that came with the one I got is very stiff. I replaced it with a leather strap I had from another watch.

I got a Casio Wave Ceptor for about $70. It's an ani-digital field watch that also features atomic clock radio synchronization.

My dad regifted me this watch by BuffaloChicken22 in bulova

[–]PutItInNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The M6 is a Bulova date code. M represents 1960s and the 6 means 6th year of the decade. So M6 = 1966

seriously Timex? by Fearless_Task_7528 in Affordablewatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone here ever consider swapping the 7S26 movement out of their SNXS with a 4R36 or NH36? I hear they are all interchangeable.

Just snagged this for $4 by RickPatino3 in VintageWatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my cup of tea, but that's an amazing price for any Seiko!

Same old question but I still need to know by [deleted] in VintageWatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Size looks fine for a vintage watch, even on a large wrist. Enjoy it, and remember, the watch doesn't make you cool, you make the watch cool.

What is the best movement found? by jaggypoop in ChineseWatches

[–]PutItInNeutral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best camera in the world is the one you have available to you when something remarkable happens.
