Hi, I have a 42mm cheapo green bezel PO from WatchSilix. The bracelet fits into the lugs like a Rolex, there is a slot between the lugs. Consequently the end-links have no "ears" to hold them in place, I beleive the rubber strap for these models also fits in to the slots between the lugs. Later and better versions do not have the rolex-u-like arrangement and the end links of the bracelet have ears. These versions are the one you want. /mds.

Hi, some sort of variable stroboscopic disk to slow the balance wheel down so you can see whats going on ? i.e. set by visual inspection ? /mds.

Hi, thanks for the answer. but lets say I decided the rate indicator should be in the middle of its range and not way low so I moved the arm that sets the beat so the regulator arm is near the centre of its range, and now the watch needs to be shaken to start, though it seems to keep good time. (Manual chinese 6497 movement) Should I move it back somewhat, or leave it with the regulator arm near the centre ? /mds.

Hi, I have a manual watch that needs to be shaken to start, I understand this is because the beat is off. Is this a serious problem regarding longevity or should it be adjusted to always start on winding ?
