Probably not. i think it was the people who treated their 28XX ETA-powered autos as if the were handwinders who were having issues (that would be about 20 winds every 40 hrs.). Still, I got used to...

I wish I could be of more help, but he's in Southern CA and doesn't want mail-in business (he does it for me because when I first used him I lived within walking distance).
They are great, inexpensive workhorse watches. I just wish Orient would spend a few more cents on a decent-looking day/date wheel….
I've done all three. If you can find a competent independent watchmaker you get the same work for a lot less money. One guy I've used on and off for years was Omega factory-trained, then opened...
PRS-3? I've used mostly Seikos and Citizens in my 30+ yrs. of diving, and they're workhorses, but the black PRS-3 looks to be the real deal and is a good size (substantial, but not too big). I like...
36mm is probably a better size for that case design anyway. Not to small, not too big.
Your PRS-2 looks great. I'm curious about the fading orange. Were you outside in the sun daily?
...looks very good.
I've had one of those aftermarket dials in my hands, as well as owning three original 6105-811Xs (I restored two) and in person, on the watch, the aftermarket dials don't hold up, IMO. The original...
Any interest in a dial that will not be just like the original? And just curious, Eddie, why a "Smiths" instead of a "Precista"?
the 18A had a date! :(
I have high expectations for the 9015, but haven't owned one yet. My PRS-17A was, for a couple of years, my most accurate mechanical watch, running about 4 sec. fast per week after I regulated it. ...
I've had two bottles of Nadurra in the past year. It's a challenge: subtle, mostly light floral and honey, but the high alcohol makes it a bear to drink neat. A bit of water opens it up and...
Documentary and photojournalism. Lots of things happen in very little light.
I voted for one, but the truth is they are all great. The only real issue would be that from what I understand the acrylic bezel on the JLC would be almost impossible to replace, and having owned a...
That's OK. We have credit cards for just such situations. :)

Is the 18 gonna be available before or after this one Eddie?[/quote]
Unfortunately I suspect they will arrive at the...
How about a bigger version of this:

with the GMT where the small seconds is on this (but black dial, same font):

Please do. I appreciate the date on my PRS-17A a lot.
I just submitted a small Time Factors order (two straps). Not a big deal but every time I order from Eddie it feels like I'm giving myself a treat. And even though I'm more of a vintage (and Seiko)...
No, but you might want to place a "Wanted to Buy" for one of Eddie's here (sales forum), on Time Zone and WUS. They also show up from time to time on the big auction site, with prices for the...
I've been looking forward to seeing some 9015 - powered watches. It looks like this new Miyota is a more direct competitor to the Seiko 6R series and the ETA 2824, but with the thinness of a 2892. ...
I believe so.
The original crowns were all or mostly not screwed in, but a screw-down crown has little to do with depth rating (the gasket system and case design do). A screw-down crown just keeps the crown from...
Eddie, forgive me if this has come up before (a quick search didn't reveal anything), but have you considered making a twin-crown diver with an inner rotating bezel? With the Polaris and Legend...
