I like the orientation of the date a 4. Very unusual but makes sense. Probably a beoch fot Tag to make that date wheel. Nice piece.

Pretty sharp. Nice view you have there.

I don't think you can judge that by the price. A new 2824 is only $129 from Ofrei. However, looking closely at the pics there are a few tells that it is likely a clone. Shock protection does not have three notches and the plate on the LHS of the face does not have the proper sized cutouts to remove the datewheel. Only better pictures would help us identify concretely. Looks good though.

Would love the non chrono version as well. Looking forward to the gen comparison T.

Looks good. Where did you get it from?

Funny how these things from days past keep coming back. Several years ago I bought a bean bag chair for my brother for Christmas. I thought I would "work it in" for him a little bit (pretty stiff naugahyde) by performing some trademark wrestling moves from back in the day. Needless to say the chair did not survive my 240lb pile driver and burst. Spreading little styrofoam bits everywhere...including into our "replica" xmas tree. To this day, every year we take it out another little chunk of styrafoam falls out.

Very touching story. Just goes to show that even the smallest action can have the biggest impact to someone else life. Thanks for the reminder, how easy it is to forget.

Gorgeous! Is it yours? Very lucky to own such a wonderful piece of history.

Ouch! Haven't done that yet...I can only imagine how that feels. Augh! Must be like when that little screw goes flying out of your tweezers never to be found again....x10.

I think so The person under me thinks theirs is better

Hello gee, I think if you look around some you will see this issue posted before. My guess is you are probably setting time/date in this order: 1) unscrew crown 2) pull out to time set position and adjust time 3) push in to date set position and adjust date 4) push crown in and start to screw it back down, while doing so date changes over again and sounds a bit crunchie while doing so This is a typical issue with the clone 2824 in the SOH. In my experience the ETA and Seagull do not do this. The "fix" that most use is to add a step to above 1) unscrew crown 2) pull out to time set position and adjust time 3) push in to date set position and adjust date 4) pull out to time set position again 5) push in and start to screw crown This works for me every time with my V2 clone. Cheers!

Amazing. Just amazing.

I'm usually a bracelet guy but that leather does look nice. Surprisingly the brown OR looks good too. Like plaifender said, change them up.

That is a very nice design. I like the approach with the mesh bracelet that terminates into links at the clasp. Looks very rugged overall.

Afraid I have to side with yodap on this one. There is no way there are manufacturing variations from dial to dial and I can't imagine that they would make such a minute change for one colour and not the others. Given the light spectrum each is reflecting it makes sense that the white is going to be more pronounced. Since it is reflecting all visible wavelengths of light (400nm ~ 700nm) the white is going to seem very bright where as the blue is only reflecting about 400nm~500nm spectrum giving it a less brilliant appearance. These differences in amount of light reflected will make one, the brighter one, seem larger than the other. An example of this is in how our eye perceives lume, especially in the dark. A watch with average rep lume will appear much sharper and smaller than the same watch with say C1. The glow tends to fuzz the edges and make the object appear larger to the eye. Same thing with white dial vs. a solid colour. Just my 2 cents

Some nice shots in there...good fuel for a new avatar.

Amazing! It is stuff like this that really makes me feel small in the world. Imagine so long ago being able to accomplish such a thing. I visited Pompeii a few years ago and walked away with the same feeling. Thanks for sharing such a great story.

Interesting approach to resolve your concern. Very creative. Wear it well.

What a shame. I bet there were a ton of Genuine parts in there too...

Fantastic review! Makes me want to get one. Thanks

Correct (US Atomic Clock HERE ) The person under me is not the person I wish was "under" me

Gen mesh is beautiful but the $$ I have a Staib and it is great. So long as you have about a 7" wrist or larger it is a great option. Very well made.

Great review. Definitely needed doing. Thanks!

Confused

True. The person under me has at least one 21j knocking around in their collection.
