R3v Wristwatch Thread

[BlackSpeed66]

Here's my Orient automatic I bought from my cousin. He's a watch junky and he can afford it, haha. This watch actually has a slide-rule bezel instead of a chrono. Apparently it's popular in Japan - I've actually figured out how to use it to do calculations for some of my work stuff.



The other is my Swiss Army watch - I think it's called the Renegade. Nothing fancy, but the illumination works very well which makes it easy to see at night.

I like that Orient!!

OK, last one for a while. I feel like Seiko was doing some really cool shit back in the 80s, and so much of the new stuff lacks any real
innovation. I believe that's why mechanical watches have made such a comeback. I know I love mine.

That said, Suunto, Casio, and even Garmin are doing some really cool shit with watches (wrist computers)?

Check out this 7A28 Yacht Timer. This is one I sold a few years back.

It's amazing what a strap change can do to a watch.

I almost got rid of this one but when I changed straps it was a keeper...for now lol. The watch is a Breitling Avenger Skyland BlackSteel with a modified Breitling strap

Very jealous of some of the time pieces on here. I keep telling myself one day I'll own a luminox.

Heres my graduation gift to myself;

Vostok Kommandirskie Chronograph. I wanted a watch with a unidirectional bezel that I could wear every day and not have to worry too badly about knocking it on a thing or two. My father and I both have one.

My mom found a g shock in a parking lot and gave it to me. It still works but it was originally red, now it is a little darkened and dirty. How do I clean it up. Please nobody tell me to wetsand and polish it

Too bad seiko doesn't make parts for their spring drive watches beyond 10 years.

[mrsleeve]

Its hard to get parts for any seiko thats more than 10 years NLA and yeah it is a shame. Its why I am buying working junkers for spare parts for my vintage seiko's. I dont think that one is a spring drive though, no power reserve sub dial

Any of their Grand Seikos, really. I really wanted a Lord Marvel or King Seiko Hi-beat for a while but the lack of support bothered me. Having vintage watches serviced is expensive enough without hand made parts.

[mrsleeve]

Yeah I am watching for the 40mm Blue dial date only King Seiko from about 1985 IIRC with the 28,800BPH movement in it
