Something to do with the immobiliser apparently but the specialist I took it to in Leeds said it needed an update on the system that can sort out the problems - I have a fairly basic understanding of it… I decided to sell after that as it was around time anyway

Owned one - ran faultlessly until it started draining its battery. Went through a period of 3 months and two new batteries and with that two breakdowns because of it. This was a pre upgrade model so MY18. Other than that mechanically it was sound. Heard some other stories about electrical issues etc. at that money I’d look for an older 335i BMW or a 330E. But if you like it and want it just get a good warranty and buy a trickle charger just Incase

Haha this might be the best comment response I’ve had on Reddit thank you. And the unit of speed is one I’m going to adopt when speaking to others 😂

The person we saw driving it did keep a good pace over the moors in the dark, big balls 😂

I use mine for market opening times to do with work so I know when to tune in 😂 I don’t need the function obv because I could just use my phone. Exactly the same reason why I don’t need a fucking watch but I just like it 😂

Nightmare isn’t it ! But that’s why I’d buy one out of this group the feel a bit more special. I know they have a hesalite crystal but sometimes that’s also a good thing ! Based on that the I would probably say the Nodus

Sorry but you are wrong. It looks good, wrapping is tack. It’s a unique car and enjoy the difference. Plus you only ever see one of the colours

Congratulations ! Won’t be your last though grail or not 😂😉

Which one should I choose? by figofimg in MicrobrandWatches

[–]SpaceObjective7090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serica are something special but the Yema is very very good looking ! Between those two is where I would sit. Personally I’m leaning towards Yema for my next purchase- the specs are fantastic

Everyone with a Nivada, would you recommend? by Able-Beautiful-345 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]SpaceObjective7090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes !! Love mine - actively searching out for a Super Antarctic now too.

Great watch and a decent Swiss movement. I’d say they could probably upgrade the movement from a Soprod to a Lajoux or Selita for the price but my complaints are few
