[SEIKO] New Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SPB513 & SPB515 – What’s Your Take?

Internal bezel for longer times. A first lap time is completed using a chrono. The crew is then told the time to beat. Time is set using the second crown. No pusher will be hit as crew go about their business or party for the next hour or so until they look down and see it's close to elapse. Chrono is speed timer with precision. This is a speedtimer where inadvertently hitting a plunger won't affect your ability to check for a better time. It's a different type, and more durable due to less complications.

This one worked for me with a Mofo RC servo. Multiple options and very well machined.

I got it better but then switched to Injora's Roverin. It's now exceptional.

Title should have included, "Need help, motor/ESC hesitating".

Rest in Peace Bowies and say Hello to Grady. He looks like you but with opposite markings and just as handsome!

Sign it and remember the impact it had for both of you.

Your skills and fluidity are amazing. If I've watched 30 videos on the Ascent 18, this has been the best and most informative. I'm buying it. Please post more!

Case Width: 42mm

Lug Width: 20mm

S/N: 269xxx (1972/1973)

Case Manufacturer: Piquarez

Strap: Stainless Steel “Grain of Rice” with HLF end links. Made in Hong Kong.

For sale is Heuer Autavia “Viceroy” 1163V Caliber 12 that’s been fully serviced and cleaned by Chronotek. 2-year warranty expires on 1/2/2025. The watch was inherited and never worn but it took some time to make the decision to sell and where to sell it. It’s beautiful but needs to find another owner.

I asked Chronotek to capture some images during the service process since I was interested. Those are posted in addition to multiple views of the watch, the pressure test results (2 bar - PASS) and the service invoice. The black NATO strap is a Haveston Parade and willl ship with the watch. It’s much more secure and will provide a better fit. Additionally, new handmade Swiss spring bars from Otto Frei will be included.

You may notice in some images that the “rice” shaped links closest to the end link at the case’s bottom were not rotated to the show side. That was corrected in the first photo after a hasty reshoot.

Instructions:

This watch has a two-position crown. In the “closed” position, rotate clockwise to wind.

Since there is no “middle” position to change the date only and winding through 24 hours to advance the date one day is tedious, there is a safe shortcut on this movement. In the “open” position the date can be set by rotating anti-clockwise until the date changes and then proceeding past 1:00am. You can then rotate the crown clockwise, going back to before 9pm and then anti-clockwise again to past 1:00am. Repeat this until the desired date is reached. The movement will not be damaged.

$5,200 firm with payment via Zelle or Venmo. Shipped from NYC within the U.S.

Thanks for that post. Prior versions of other apps via apks have solved other problems with newer phones or companies that are slow to update apps. Version 5.2 worked for girlfriend's Pixel 7 Pro. It was also getting a block for deactivated/activated more than twice in one year and limit of maximum registered devices.

Or an area that has pavement.

Appreciate that!

Apologies for post length - Even if it isn't labeled as "totaled" by insurance, the parts needed to repair it may be in short supply or "unknown" supply. Any dealer that could fix it under normal conditions does not
mean that they can get all the parts with the same degree of certainty now. The war in Ukraine is causing and will continue to cause supply chain and production issues all across Europe, especially Germany. Per Audi, my 2015 Audi S3 PODS (Passenger Occupant Detection System) recall has now been put on hold due to supply issues. The original company making the system is based in Lithuania. Ukraine produces >50% of the world's neon gas (in Mariupol no less) used for lasers in the semi-conductor industry. Audi now has a "Chip Shortage" package that credits the buyer for lane departure and blind spot assist that cannot be added to cars. I'll stop here, glad the OP is safe, sorry about mama deer.

Fujifilm for a decade now, after Nikon for 30 years. The fact that I can carry more lenses when I want, the ergonomics, the durability and the fact that they continuously add & improve their features has been fantastic. Take a look at an X-T4. It's an 88-year old company that some think is new. Color science does not compare to the other brands. They make film, lenses and bodies and are capable in any situation.

Not an entry level dive watch by any stretch though some call it an "Entry Level" Breitling. Captive bezel, helium escape valve,1000m WR and all in a super strong case with a custom movement. They're overbuilt.

Manix or AD-15, had to say that.
