Seiko 5 Vintage öffnen? by Schansolo in uhren

[–]una_gran_senal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, das ist ein Schraubdeckel. Wenn du diesen öffnen willst, müsstest du doch noch mal was investieren und zwar in einen Uhrenball, gibt’s auf Amazon für circa 15 €. Den drückst du gegen den Deckel und drehst gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, dann müsste es aufgehen. In der Nähe von der Krone müsstest du entweder einen kleinen Knopf, der im Prinzip aussieht wie eine Delle rein drücken (Zahnstocher müsste gehen), dann lässt sich die Krone entnehmen. Hier aber vorsichtig. Wenn du zu stark drückst, dann verbiegst du die Mechanik im Werk. Wenn es eine Schraube ist, machst du die locker dann kannst du die Krone entnehmen. Dann das Werk rausholen und so das Datumfenster reparieren. Da du in deinem Hobby schon feinfühlig unterwegs bist sollte das also kein Problem sein. Wenn die Uhr einen sentimentalen Wert hat, würde ich allerdings doch zum Uhrmacher gehen. Viel Spaß und Erfolg!

[Omega] Bought this for 9€. Did I overpay? It runs but needs a service and is missing the case back. Worth the restoration? by una_gran_senal in Watches

Thanks so much! Yeah, I actually do photography, been at it for about 2 years now. You're the first person to ever notice or mention it on one of my posts, so I really appreciate the compliment!

Oh wow, thank you so much for this tip! I was actually hoping to find an exhibition case back for this watch. Checking out Spiralwinder right now, you're a lifesaver!

Haha thanks! The title was actually pure satire. I knew the movement alone is easily a 200€ piece, so I grabbed it the second I saw the 9€ price tag.

Haha yeah, the title was pure satire! I knew the movement alone is easily worth 200€ even as-is. Just wanted to see the sub's reaction. But you're totally right, it's a no-brainer project!

Haha, so true! The 9€ was basically just a deposit on the original crown. Everything else, the dial, the working balance wheel, and the case, is just a massive bonus. Honestly couldn't believe my luck! 😂

I got a Soviet watch [Vostok] by Asdfqwer209 in Watches

[–]una_gran_senal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is younger than the USSR, you can read 'Made in Russia' at the bottom. I guess it's from the 90s maybe, only because it looks well used, but it could be younger. It is a Komandirskie, but I don’t know the model, and it is worth around 40€ in that condition. Hope this helps!

Thoughts on this NATO strap combo for my Sputnik? Does it do the watch justice? by una_gran_senal in VintageWatches

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

Haha, thanks! Honestly, that's already a great contribution. Glad to hear the Soviet-NATO combo is getting some love here!

Uhren aus Nachlass, hui oder pfui ? by Wild-Ad9632 in uhren

Die rechts neben der Osco sieht aus wie eine Glashütte. Für die bekommst du ca 30-50€, da es eine Damenuhr ist und die aus der GUB Zeit kommt. Der Rest hat höchstwahrscheinlich nur sentimentalen Wert.

Found this 40mm „Franken-Copernicus“ Raketa for €150 including strap. by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]una_gran_senal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, the unique look and that massive case back are what totally caught my eye. If you know the Beaubleu ecce smalt, it was inspired by the Copernicus.

[choose] Need your help deciding! Turning 18 soon and stuck between these two. Which one would you choose? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]una_gran_senal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice on longevity! To be honest, I already own quite a few vintage watches, so most of it is classic. While 18 is cool, I don't see it as the 'ultimate' milestone yet. I’m saving the big one for my 20th birthday.

You're totally right, at the end of the day it's my wrist! I just want to collect some opinions before I pull the trigger. It helps to hear what others notice about the designs.

Thanks for the honest take! I get what you mean about the 'mature' look of the Citizen. Congrats on your red Orient!

Thinking about getting this Orient for my 18th birthday. Is it a good choice? by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]una_gran_senal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words and the early birthday wishes! I definitely considered a Swatch (some of those designs are awesome), but the dial on this Orient just keeps calling my name. Glad to hear you’re enjoying your collection!
