Hello Jill, Welcome to our community, we pride ourselves on being a gentlemanly lot around here and I would welcome more ladies on the forum. If you care to share experiences and insights on buying handbags and ladies watches, I’m sure you have more knowledge in that area than most of us, but Christmas is coming and significant others need treats 😀
It’s a very nice dial and insert, I can’t say I’m a fan of the crown or case side profile. It’s high time I bought some sort of Squale though, they have a long history
Our upgraded forum now offers high quality monitored concepts. This paradigm shift will cascade organically throughout the collective as part of our three dimensional empowerment strategies
Trusted Dealers on this or any of the fora are Trusted for a reason. We get no kickback or financial benefits so we can be truly independent if a problem arises
our TDs are here:-
https://rwg.cc/forum/230-watches-clothing-parts-accessories/
Dealers don’t always keep the links up to date, but the members can always help you with the latest link. Don’t follow google links, scammers have been known to set up clone sites, so always use a known link from within the community
If none of the Trusted Dealers can source a watch, I would take that as a strong indication that the watch does not exist as a rep and a none TD who claims to be able obtain it is either running a scam or bait and switch
Welcome to our community, there are a couple of guys in Singapore who undertake some repair work. Perhaps if you share details of the watch and the problem, they may make themselves known to you
Some serious names there. Sometimes a watch is about the story, the journey and the people involved. Those of us who like franken builds come to feel this way, but it is great when a genuine watch has that journey and achievement to it. You honoured the memory of your friend with this restoration
Wow, September 2018 and you joined here almost a year later just to tell us, cute
Generally “hello, I’m new to the forum” and such like works better.
Of course you could have taken the matter up with the Mods here in 2018 if you were a member and we would have interceded on your behalf
Seriously it is a cheap 21 jewel movement, use it as a daily watch or an occasional wear. No it is not an ETA clone. Wind it however you prefer, eventually it will break as do all mechanical things, but it is a very cheap movement to replace. Lastly if you want help on this forum, don’t go out of your way to become unpopular with those far more knowledge than you currently are
