Cross posting from last thread:

The subdial layout was designed to air force specifications, I believe. The great advantage of the Lemania 5100 subdial arrangement is that the chronograph minute hand and second hand are both on the central register, thus making the chronograph much easier to read than a subdial minutes design.

If you are interested in learning about one of the five greatest automatic chronograph movements of all time you can read this article as a starter:

http://chronomaddox.com/nouvelle_lemania_5100.html

Additionally, Omega's implementation of the co-axial escapement is fundamentally flawed and should have been scrapped. In theory, it is supposed to be a lubricant free escapement that would extend the service intervals of the movement.

In reality, Omega ended up having to use microscopically precise amounts of oil at several places on the escapement for shock absorption, and, most of the design changes made to facilitate the escapement have ended up making the movements much more delicate and difficult to service than a standard Swiss lever escapement like an ETA 2892-A2, while not bringing ANY benefit whatsoever in terms of service intervals, positional variance, isochronism, worn vs. resting amplitude, power-reserve, or especially reliability (which has been massively REDUCED). The only reason Omega went ahead with this abortion of a design is advertising and marketing to try and convince aspirational middle class normies that modern Omega is anything more than 80% of Rolex prices at 20% of Rolex effort.

Can't say I disagree with you. Maybe I'll be able to use the strap on my SDGM. I've also got a Vietnamese croc strap coming because I am curious about the quality.

>>59960427

Much better

Any advices on an elegant but not showy, mid-low priced women's watch? Better if with well visible numbers and a white strap.

Actual advice: go to Macy's and pick a timex, Anne Klein, etc that you like. Spend the $15 left over on a nice white strap.

>>59960925
A little over 6000.

If you wanted to wait around and buy one at auction, you'd pay around 6 plus the juice. At a dealer meet, you could probably work on the low side of 7. You could walk into any jeweler in the world and sell it for at least 6 right now.

deployant clasp is kind of retarded on a canvas strap anyway. the point of it is to prevent leather from wearing out due to repeated hard bends. canvas can handle that.

true, canvas can take more hard bends, but with deployant making the strap in complete circle i would never need to worry about dropping it again or having it slip off my hand when inconveniently holding only one piece of the straps when i put the watch on

Did they somehow figure out the Eldritch secret of the index wheel?

>>59962942
Well they were made on a gear hobbing machine. The sekrit is how the fuck they controlled for vibrations/other errors while making a given batch of index wheels so they wouldn't be out of whack. I'm guessing the russians either lucked out or they were shit.

i got tired of them and put them in a box in the closet. i took one out today to play with the polarizing filter after someone mentioned you could rotate it 90° to change to a negative display. after i had my fun i threw it in the trash.

i still like the gold one enough, though, that i replaced it after the plating wore off the old one. i would really prefer a DW5600 style g-shock in gold, though, but i've never seen one.

>>59964457
G-shocks are just regular casio watches that have excess styling.

>>59964480

not really. they have significantly better water resistance and more durable construction. i would like to drop a GW-5000 module in; i just need the case, pushers, and buckle in gold. i have the rest of the parts on hand.

As I heard the story Accutrons were banned from exporting into commie countries as they could be in ballistic missiles and shit (at the time they were the most accurate portable clocks in the world). They say Slava copied the one Khrushchev got when visiting the US.

>>59967253
True, but at least the 861/1861 is still a mechanical chrono movement. That and it's still nasa qualified.

It's pretty close and the 861 movement went to space as well.

The Bulova is a fucking quartz shitter.

>>59966626
I don't think that is a very fair comparison. Suwa was much more adventurous in their designs if cases and movements, and they created a large number of iconic watch designs, but their movement designs have tended not to age very well.

They used to sell cases to people, but now they don't. The watch is completely fucked. Only thing still good about it is the bracelet and movement.

Case is scratched and dented. Bezel lip is bent and mangled. Bezel was crooked and wouldn't seat on the case, probably wouldn't even if it was straight. Chipped the sapphire trying to get the bezel off.

>The second hand is driven by an electrical motor independent of the master clock. It requires only about 58.5 seconds to circle the face, then the hand pauses briefly at the top of the clock. It starts a new rotation as soon as it receives the next minute impulse from the master clock.This movement is emulated in some of the licensed timepieces made by Mondaine.

>>59974621

that's only the stop2go, which has a different crown. they have a lot of models of watches ranging from the stop2go to a normal automatic to a normal quartz.

>>59974662
I was under impression that all their models emulate this behaviors,if this is not the case that they truly are mountain jews.

>>59974690

no, only the stop2go. the mountain jews are a specific subgroup of semitic-european halfbreed with a base in the caucasus, so it will confuse knowledgeable antisemites if you use that phrase to refer to the indigenous ethnic groups of the swiss watch industry, which is overwhelmingly based in valleys rather than mountainous areas of switzerland.

I'd buy the Moon Watch in an instant if it was 39mm.

I actually really like this Trapezoid.
CAn be picked up for around £100 on ebay as new.

Are those vintage seamasters worth it? Like 200-300 seems like a steal for a vintage swiss automatic that's in house

OOOO HARO CAN I GET SOME RICE CHICKEN

dont listen to him he snatched the watch for nearly nothing.
They hold value pretty well.

So anyway do you guys think buying unserviced JDM (or slavshit) off Ebay, servicing/restoring it and re-selling at a profit is a viable idea? Just as a little money on the side.

I love mine. I bought it about 3 years ago for £200. It keeps time to within 15 sec/day and I have no idea when it was last serviced.
Also, it's not a Seamaster.

Are you serious? Mine came with no papers and is possibly a frankenstien. I know the crown isn't original but the movement is awesome. Don't think it's worth much more than £200 now.

Movement shot.

I can't imagine it's lost any value since I bought it.

>>59982831
I told my story,you can do whatever you want and sell the thing for whatever you think its worth.

I've thought about this but I don't think it is. Not consistently and reliably at least.

>>59982687

>>59983171
Wow, you're an idiot.

>>59968648
same, but just because that guy who got a fake two times in a row and was ready to give up on lolexes keeps spamming it
