I've now packed up the Seagull 1963 and passed it on to the next custodian and I said I'd offer a more detailed review so here it is. First off I want to express my appreciation of this great...
Had the Seagull for a few days now -
6405
Likes - really enjoying legibility & dial layout
Dislikes - not exactly running within COSC
Thinking of posting a full review before I pass it on
Bracelet looks a bit stretched though.
More like a molehill, but I see where you are going
Well I'd never have thought to try it, it but if I perform the same manoeuvre on my GMT I get a small amount of play - not an audible click but I can feel a sort of notchy movement. I won't be losing...
Amen to that brother. I've lost something in the order of £3000 per year on various cars, so much so I budget for it as cost of ownership. If you think about it that's a lot of nice watches, flipped...
Saddo confession - when I hear my GMT date flip over with a satisfying snick I am often on this forum - it's +/- 20s from midnight and I know it's time for bed.
I am interested in your views on this. It seems to me that synchronous digital networks, such as those based on SONET and SDH transmission methods, rely upon clock synchronisation between network...
Jah Wobble. Always loved the noise he makes.
Apparently, yes it does.
What he said. If the consensus of knowledgeable and obsessive opinion on this forum is unable to conclude that this is a fake then I would be inclined to give that more credence than he word of a...
Some toe-rag tried to pry ours open on Friday while we were out with the family. It's at least 100 years old and they left a couple of decent gouges in the door and the frame but the old girl held...
I hope Blowers don't mind me reproducing this as an example of how stretched an oyster can get. Only 10 years old - must have had a hard paper-round. The end-links are solid BTW.
If I am understanding your post correctly you are saying that within 2 hours of initially synchronising / setting against a known time source (assumption on my part) the minute hand 'drifts' such...
Mine's long gone but I've often thought it explained my preference for Arabic dialled military style watches.
This thread needs more mustelidae.
Ferrets should always be stroked in one direction with a garyflex block prior to rinsing and finishing. Weasels are a stoataly different kettle of fish.
Want one now.
Yes you can. See my earlier post - I did exactly that in very similar circumstances, and with a 16710 to boot!
Funnily enough I recently posted in another thread about my 16710 coming back from the RSC with the regulation a little off (though at +4s on the wrist not quite as off as yours). I bought mine...
Nooooo.. for the love of god get it away from that scratchy bracelet!
It was informative to read that the JLC "enjoyed a silver tone dial with Dauphine hands that related to both hours not to mention minutes". Other manufacturers should take note of this innovative...
I'm sure I read somewhere, too long ago to remember where, about a survey that claimed IWC and GO were the preferred brands of business exec types. A Portuguese might fit the bill - I have no idea of...
Agree with this. My 10yr old GMT II came back from Rolex service running +4s - not bad but I expected better so back it went with a request to get it more like +2s. It now runs +1s, which I am...
