Use the jomashop filters to find something more your style. For better filters check out chrono24 - it is a used watch site but will give you a good idea of what is available and maybe ideas for the future. Better to seek out a watch you actually want, save for it and be happy with your purchase than pinching pennies and buying another worthless piece of junk that you will force yourself to like and write endlessly about.

The accutron 2210 was created in 1973, well over a decade after the first accutron 214 and at a point when the writing was clearly on the wall for tuning forks. Bulova as a company did not strategically position themselves for the quartz crisis. They made a half heartes attempt with the accuquartz 224, but it was too little, too late.

Guys, I don’t know much about mechanics but I’m back from the service center.

The guy told me my shitter had low amplitude and I needed to change de mouvement. It’s still under warranty so it’s free but what does it mean low amplitude and how can this happen to a new watch?

>>13521608
https://www.watchtime.com/reference-center/glossary/amplitude/

>Amplitude is the measure of the amount of rotation in the swing of the balance wheel, in either direction, usually expressed in degrees. In a running watch, the balance wheel swings or rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. Each swing in either direction is called a “beat”. Amplitude is the number of degrees of rotation of the beat. Amplitude is higher, typically in the range of about 270 to 315 degrees, when a watch is lying flat or in the “dial up” or “dial down” position. Amplitude usually falls when the watch is in a vertical position, primarily due to increased friction. Amplitude can also fall as the watch winds down and the mainspring delivers less power. Amplitude that is too high or too low, or that changes too much in different positions, can indicate a problem with the movement.

It's a horror story

>>13521653
Litronix

So I put a cheeky little bid on this one after I saw one that I really wanted go for over a 100 €.
Seller listed it as parts / repair, description said it works sometimes and sometimes not with pics of it working as intended.
I thought it would be a relative simple contact job to get it running properly, but oh was I wrong.

Firstly it didn't appear to work at all, so I cleaned the contacts etc and tried again. Partially working now, but it wasn't consistent so I took it open again and tried adjusting the contact points the buttons make as it seemed they were making contact all the time, they had some metal pins that are in contact with the buttons and the current is transferred by the case itself, weird fucking design.
I couldn't get the pins to stay off from the buttons (they had metal around them with little pieces of metal protruding towards the pins), so I decided it was designed the wrong way and I bent the protruding parts completely off, not it was close.
Still I couldnt get a decent reliability with them so I just soldered them in my frusturation and I get the time display button to work reliably, but the settings button still wont respond.
I tried checking the leads in the pcb trying to understand where the fault might be, to no luck yet.

In the pic you will see the two metal parts where i took the protruding parts off.

>>13521667
Yeah I know mate, I checked this with a loupe and all the wire bond contacts seem good, also all the segments are good.

In this pic you can see a part which I suspected of being faulty, but to my current knowledge it works fine, it's just misaligned a bit.

Also, crazy where the times when they didn't protect the chips with resin, the main chip has it but some of the others do not.
To add to that, why did they decide to use the case itself as the means to transfer current? Fucking stupid imo.

If I get the adjustment working I will be happy with it. If anyone has some ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

I think companies were desperately trying to stay in competition with the Japanese at the beginning of the quartz race, and just shitting out completely new movements as fast as possible without giving much thought.

I don't think they had faith in the technology, and were already gearing up for LCD production. Also unlike LED watch manufacturers in the USA and Europe (sans Switzerland) the producers of early quartz watches in Japan were traditional watchmaking companies rather than electronics manufacturers (with exception to Casio who I believe started with LCD altogether), so they probably didn't have manufacturing technology for LED watches as readily available.

Also LCD is just plain superior to LED, Japanese LCD wiped out the American LED watch industry ten times worse that what analog quartz did to the Swiss mechanical industry.

Meanwhile the Soviet industry remained mostly unaffected till the mid 80's.

I was not saying LED is in any way better than LCD, I mostly wear LCD watches and desu completely honest, from a technical standpoint it is the optimal technology for a watch, which unfortunately lead to it's downfall when normies shunned them for having too many features packed in one watch.

Soviets lagged behind of the "free world", imo their quartz are not worth it, some of their mechanicals are good though.

I am more or less settled on getting the T101.410.11.051.00 (pic). Local jeweler has it for $400 aud.

Yes. And btw by cheap quartz I mean anything that isn't high accuracy basically.

I've owned Citizen Ecodrives that cost hundreds of dollars and they suffer from the same.

I like soviet watches because it gives you something that was made in a country that no longer exists anymore and used to be a super power at that. It collapsed before I was born. I just wish I could have witnessed the communist country that started it all. Its interesting because I like history, not because I like communism. I also wish I could have something cool from other nonexistent countries like Prussia, Rhodesia, East Germany etc. Its just neat.

Are Tourbillons a meme? I get that they're mechanically interesting. But so is a chronograph, or an alarm, a minute repeater, or any other complication; but none of those complications demand a huge hole in the dial. Also anyone with a tourbillon thinks they're at the peak of watch collecting half the time.
I get it, sometimes it looks ok, but most of the times it just looks so gaudy...

Tourbillion served a purpose in pocketwatches, in that they counter the effects of inaccuracy due to gravity for the balance wheel. In wrist watches they are not serving the same purpose because you wear them on the hand Therefore they are sort of a meme complication in wristwatches, but they look cool. However, in high horology JLC have made a "flying" tourbillion, which will rotate in several axes, and they do actually essentially eliminate positional variance, so they are not a meme. But then again, you can't really afford it.

Quality leather straps will be processed over many days, as much as 20-30 days, through all 80-100 processes, usually handmade to ensure quality. It is a ridiculous notion that you would be able to buy quality leather for just 30 dollars. There are definitely many who won't know the difference or think that their straps are good quality even if they only payed 30-40 dollars somewhere online, but they'd be wrong. If someone in here will claim this, just remember what I'm telling you now: they're wrong.

Looks great in sunlight, which should be pretty important for the diver.

Also while I was looking down fucking around with the phone, making the picture the light turned green and the line started moving, so the car behind me had to honk me. Really fucking embarrassing, I wonder if they saw the fucking autist in the jap shitter car in front of them taking pics of his wristwatch at a red light.

It's a Vietnamese croc strap I came across on ebay and bought instantly because in my experience it's extremely rare to find croc straps in such a light tan color and with a matte finish.

It cost me $20 USD, which is crazy, even for Vietnam where the farm raise crocodiles for leather.

PSA. Invicta 8096 with Seiko Nh35 (4r35) movement is on sale for 40$ for prime day. That watch has only ever been this cheap once before. Popular base watch for mods and generally just a nice watch with a better movement than seiko puts in its entry level divers.

Yeah I grabbed one already. Got it for a FFF mod. Currently trying to find a Blancpain style 166610 insert for it on ebay. I'd love 15 30 45 marks but even if I could just get a no hash one I'd be happy. Will also do the Vintage dagaz gold dial and brady sailcloth gold strap. Think I'll keep the hands stock but clip off the invicta wings on the second hand

Sorry I meant the numbers above the dial indices.

>>13524630
That's really interesting. I see the reasoning but the 40 to 45 and 20-15 right next to each other in the wrong orientation looks off to me. I think it works better on 1-12 watches because changing the orientation of a 9 and a 3 is not as jarring. At least not to my eyes.
