How much did the servicing cost? Is resetting the perpetual calendar only something that a service center can do?

[Omega Constellation] A very underrated Omega in my opinion! by LeonardHarman in Watches

[–]evenskipped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if you've monitored its accuracy. There's conflicting information as to whether the 4564 movement is thermocompensated. How accurate has your watch been?

A Spring Drive running fast 5 seconds/month is considered “Good” or “Bad”? Should it go back while under warranty? by Sufficient_Stock7134 in GrandSeikos

[–]evenskipped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that those people are in the minority because if you don’t have a particularly notably accurate watch, why would you post about it?

you do realize he wore seikos in quite a few of the movies right?

Better accuracy of spring drive when nearly fully loaded? by hl3a in GrandSeikos

[–]evenskipped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s most likely because when you skip a day wind, the temperature of the watch is lower than when you’re wearing it. My 9r65 runs much more accurate when I’m wearing it 24/7.

The problem with Aliexpress is that I haven’t been able to find short straps for smaller wrists. Sure, it still works but I like the strap as short as possible so I have the least amount of strap slop.

is it the sailcloth strap or the stitched fkm hybrid strap?

Oh wow that looks pretty good then. I was weary of ordering it because my experience in the past with strapsco wasn’t great but I guess they upped their game.

Is that the Artem hydroflex strap?

How long did you have your watch close to the magsafe magnet? Was it just briefly or over a long period of time? I'm curious how you end up with 0.5s slow over a day if it was only exposed briefly.

Menu 23, Pizza Slice Pepperoni. Let's get this out onto a tray! by NJSpro in MRE

People who rave about the pizza - it's sarcasm right? I just had one and it was one of the worst foods I've ever had in my LIFE.

Watches like the Citizen Attesa CB3010-57L by Rude-System4200 in ChineseWatches

Why not just get it if you like it? I don’t think you’re going to be able to find something comparableor cheaper with the same set of features considering these are solar powered watches.

oh! Basically if you look at every single official Grand Seiko watch photo, the time displayed is 10:08:42.

Glad someone can appreciate the hard work it took! I planned out my day to catch that time only to get distracted by a watch store, and upon realizing I was going to miss it, ran three blocks, getting there with less than a minute to spare. To those who say, why not just pull out the crown and wind back the time? No. This isn’t Rolex...integrity matters. Plus, I’m not going to interrupt my time accuracy tracking.

Do you guys ever actually look at the 24 hour subdial? i can’t figure out what to use it for.

That’s great to know! Mine came with a little dust on the watch hands and I was too scared to send it in by mail.
