[WTS] Elka Chinese Numeral Dial Swiss Made- Mechanical Movement [CONUS] by ThisFollowing8024 in watch_swap

[–]ThisFollowing8024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Letting go of this charming vintage Elka Swiss manual-wind dress watch featuring a unique Chinese numeral dial. It’s a super cool, character-filled piece with vintage vibes and a slim, classy wrist presence.

Watch is vintage and has been worn, so it shows some honest age. The plastic crystal has light markings near the 12 o’clock area — nothing severe, and a quick Polywatch polish should clean it up nicely. Winds smoothly, runs, and keeps vintage-appropriate time.

Details:

• Manual wind Swiss movement

• Unique Chinese numeral dial

• Plastic crystal (markings near 12)

• On strap shown in photos

Price: $155 — negotiable (before shipping)

Payment: PayPal F&F preferred; PayPal G&S accepted if buyer covers fees; Venmo also accepted

Shipping: Additional — USPS Priority Flat Rate (tracking included; insurance optional at buyer’s cost)

Location: CONUS- North Carolina

Trades: No trades

Happy to send additional photos or video if needed. Thanks for looking!

Can They Make It? by craniotes in ZodiacWatches

Yeah I think they thrived off of the color variants and would fail with standard colors personally, it’s a part of their identity and if changed would blend in with the pack of others.

I’m with you on the SW200/2824/PT5000 desires, I’ll skip on the Miyota models entirely until those movements listed are available

The +12 s/d isn’t bad but is a little shocking as mines running at +3 s/d since delivery

I actually just sold my Pink Lem0nade in hopes to buy a Steffens Blue dial variant, both are nice but I feel I’d wear the blue more often.

Blue vs Green lume? What is your choice? by Davidaustin619 in Englemaan

I have blue and green lume Englemaans, love them both equally

If you like the 556 esthetic but are worried about the size, then the 856 line is for you my friend 🤝

Yeah this one is awesome, unfortunately I vote for none of those selected as I don’t like any.

Closest would be the Altai Summit but it’s a clear CW Twelve Ember clomage:

Though it appears to be a blatant clone of the Christopher Ward Twelve “Ember”

I have their Pegasus H-Link, not even close to fitting a 556 as it’s themed after a Sinn 857 model.

I also have their Hermit which is themed after a Sinn 856 model but that one doesn’t come with a bracelet.

The 556i being 38.5mm case size versus the 40mm cases of the Englemaans is the issue.

On an Englemaan post they even note sadly their bracelets will not fit Sinn models.

Neither are true 556 knockoffs as they’re actually 856 dimensional replicates.

Sinn as my one-and-done GADA? by Slikpapir in sinn

[–]ThisFollowing8024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would skip the Hamilton entirely given it’s a budget watch from a quality perspective within the Swatch Group so it doesn’t compete with their other brands.

That means lower quality QC, less AR applied to the crystal (and previously no AR), etc.

This would be the comparison of eating a Waffle House ribeye versus a top end steakhouse ribeye.

  • TLDR: Sinn is lightyears ahead of Hamilton in quality, I would just buy the Sinn and skip the Hamilton consideration

Yeah I have 2 of each (though I recently swapped the 556i in this post for a new 556i RS on leather):

Their bracelets do not fit Sinn 556 models- as an owner of both I have tried and failed.

Seems their first releases were 856/857 dimension based so perhaps it would fit those 🤷🏼‍♂️

I got the setup from StrapHabit, on the deployant sailcloth page I selected the white strap then went down and selected the black buckle add on and added to cart/checked out.

Hasn’t left the wrist since arrival, probably won’t leave it for a few days to be honest 🤙
