If one happened to be the D36, the positional variation wouldn't be surprising. The only use standard grade ETAs in that one.

In my experience, the most annoying part is figuring out what regulations and restrictions there are for shipping to the destination country. For example, Canada. Watches are prohibited in USPS...
Fantastic collection! If the 3537 and 3536 were a tad smaller, I'd be all over them. I'm happy with just my 3707 though.
I got mine from Topper Jewelers in California.
Wow! That's terrible. I actually bought a Skindiver bracelet myself and it was much cheaper, even taking into account that you guys have to pay VAT and whanot. I wonder why there's such a large...
Oh, the ones JP stated are just daily accuracy. Well, at least the 6R15 one. That one is from the manual:
Loss/gain (daily rate): +25 – 15 seconds at normal temperature range (between 5°C and...
I believe the numbers you quoted refer to maximum difference between two positions. From what I've read, the daily accuracy of the grades for an ETA 2824 are as follow:
Standard grade: +/-12...
Titanium for me too. I prefer the lighter weight and its aesthetics. The natural dull grey look is great for sportier watches and it can be finished nicely if my grail was a dressier watches (e.g....
He said it's just for a university report on the UK luxury watch market.
A friend of mine was looking for information on the luxury watch market in the UK for a report. Things like: which luxury brands dominate the market, and if what the major influences of the market...
I've never experienced a spring bar faliure yet, and I've even used some cheap Chinese spring bars. I'll be changing those out soon though. I don't want to risk it.
I did find a spring bar on the...
Beautiful watches. I'm extremely jealous. The black dial Rainbow Elite is a 'grail' of mine, and I hope to be able to find one soon.
Nevermind.
From what I read on the iwc forums, the coarse 'grain' is just due to bead blasting.
Seiko fans would probably argue the 6159-002 is pretty nice too (made 5 years before the IWC/Porsche Design titan chrono)....
Have you got it back now? If so, does it make the same noise?
My recently purchased pre-owned IWC GST (7750) was making the same noise as yours. I just got it back from a service (likely had not...
Microscopic nicks and scratches are understandable, but the printing of the chapter ring numbers and the minute indices is a little bit concerning. Just from looking at high resolution photos people...
Just wanted to pop in with this link again:

Dang, the PRS-82 looks amazing. Perfect size for me and at a decent price. Too bad I only heard about it now (haven't had time for watch forums recently :uncomfortableness:).. the orders have been...
Congrats on the Mako! Despite having sold mine, it's still one of my favorite dive watches.
IIRC, the Mako just uses split pins.
Someone recently posted this thread on WUS that has a bunch of links to order catalogs: http://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/1ee2wu/catalog_all_the_watch_catalog_ive_ever_found_on/
This is...
edit: scratch that. It does tick more than a normal quartz, but isn't quite "continuously sweeping" as they claimed in that above link

I only knew 12 but guessed 4 more, so 16 :witless:.
STP stands for Swiss Technology Production, which is a movement production facility that Fossil acquired last year. I think this also answers my earlier question of why Fossil waited until now; seems...
Fossil already had some manufacture in Switzerland. Back in 2001 they acquired three Swiss watchmakers: Montres Antima SA, Meliga Habillement Horloger SA, and Synergies Horlogères SA (this one...
