FS: Steinhart Ocean 39 Plexi limited Gnomon edition with Oyster and Jubilee bracelets

$
0
0
Up for sale is the long sold out and absolutely brilliant homage to the Rolex Submariner 5513 , the Ocean 39 explorer dial with acrylic crystal sold exclusively by Gnomon watches.

The watch was a daily-fish wear for about 6 months. As a result the case is in the good shape the bracelets have desk diving marks (more on the jubilee) and the crystal has light swirls and scratches that could easily be buffed out. This really is a brilliant watch, but I find I just can't get totally behind homages, try as I might. ETA 2824 seems to be keeping time very well, although I haven't formally timed it. They is number 163/300.

Asking $700 OBO shipped Priority from Cleveland within the U.S. No trades please.

I have bought and sold extensively on WUS with excellent feedback since 2011.

Where to find the website that custom paints a "Tsunami" dial for 4:00 crown positions?

I used to have a website of a guy that painted dials of a Seiko tsunami, I believe the dials were for the SKX or any other 4:00 crown position Seiko divers. Please help me to find this website again. I have a distant project in planning stages. Thanks for your help. Stromboli. :-!

Seiko 8F32-0119 when made

Hi all,

I bought an older Seiko 8F32-0119 800766 and have been trying to find out when it was made and what model it is. I found some seiko serial number date calculators and all said it was made in October in either 1998 or 2008. I searched Seiko catalogs from 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2008 and didn't find a match. I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks,
henrylr

No-date quartz 'sport' watches?

$
0
0
Not sure why I'm doing this, I think I'm done with buying for a while, but the search never ends!

I'm curious what's out there in a good quality 3-hander quartz 'sport' watch WITH NO DATE. For me a sport watch is just a good robust, casual GADA with a bit of lume and not too much polish (I find polished hands and indices to be annoyingly illegible).

I'd also much prefer a plain bezel, although I might consider a diver or similar if it has something else going for it (like a nice blue dial). Definitely no fake functionality or silly macho chunkiness though. Something with the vibe of a Rolex Explorer or OP perhaps?

The ladies INOX is a start but at 37mm probably a bit small, anything larger than that is in the running.

Any suggestions?

D.Veith's Phantom Aquanaut Review

$

0
Here is my review on the elusive Phantom Aquanaut - the Cheapest ST-2130 diver on the planet @ RMB 518.00/SGD $103.44/USD $75.00.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm...d=566736657800

I bought it on 25/01 and had only received the 6105 homage last week, owing to the delay caused by CNY Holidays & the 2019-Cov outbreak.

Comes in a orange box (probably the same exact one from Steeldive, San Martin etc.)
The strap is very large and stiff so I switched it out for a cheap matching strap from TB.

Specs sheet:

Brand: D.Veith
Case: 316L Stainless Steel
Movement: Sea-gull ST-2130 28,800 VPH
Case Diameter: 44mm
Case Thickness: 13mm
Strap: 22mm

The dial itself is flawless and the sapphire glass is properly AR-coated.
The bezel is 120 clicks, tight with zero back-play and actually lands perfectly.
Its chapter-ring, everything about it is 100% perfectly symmetrical that it is borderline uncanny
(Insert condescending Seiko remark here*).

That being said, my other diver, the Nautec has a better-feeling bezel

The case is well-machined and there is a slight heft to it.
I really like how unique the screw-down crown looks and the Aquanaut logo just makes it work.
However, the screw-down crown is a tad rough and easily traps bits of skin.
Changing the time is also not as smooth as I had hoped as it feels slightly vague, not as bad as what I heard from Steeldive but it is no Ocean Star.
There is clear distinction between quick-changing the date and adjusting the time.

Lume is on the dimmer side of things, not as bright as what I had seen from other brands.
It however is surprisingly long-lasting and the application is consistent throughout the watch.

(The P30 is the king of the night)

It sits flush with the wrist and gains +1/2 secs per day so far.

Conclusion:

It is insane how D.Veith managed to manufacture a Watch this good at this low of a pricepoint.
There are no competitors that remotely come close to it, in terms of consistency, specs and finish.
It is literally the best watch you could ever buy under $100.00.
Which begs the question, how did this brand slip from the radar for so long?

TL;DR:

Pluses:

+Machining is good and consistent
+Lume is consistent throughout
+Dial is clean and passes the loupe test easily
+The Logo and brand is all right and even lends it character
+Lume is light on the eyes and lasts.
+ RMB 518 price-tag for a 28,800 bph ST-2130 diver
+Tight Screw-down crown
+100% aligned to the point of symmetry
+120 click lumed bezel
+Clearly manufactured with tighter tolerances (Would go diving w. it)

Minuses:
-Threads for the Screw-down crown are rough
-Both the bezel and crown visibly traps dead skin
-Lume is a tad weak
-Aluminium bezel that does not feel premium (A very minor gripe)

Hi folks, up for sale is a used hodinkee waxed canvas roll that can fit 6 watches. It is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. There is a little blemish in the first couple pockets as seen in the pics but this is due to the “made in the USA stamp.” I've used this only 1 time and never used it since.

Asking $100 NET via PayPal. Will be shipped CONUS only. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. I am in good standing on the forums with several feedback. Sold as is. Thanks

Porco Rosso Presage Limited Editions From Seiko

HANDS-ON: William Wood The Red Watch

$

Emerging watchmakers face the near-Sisyphean task of standing out in a sea of low-budget options all vying for market dominance and social media influence. When William Wood's founder Jonny Garrett launched a crowdfunding campaign to commemorate his grandfather's heroics in the London Fire Brigade, the passion in the story clearly resonated with the thousands of pledgers who wanted to make these watches a reality. In 2020, William Wood's 'Valiant Collection' seeks to continue the tribute to the man himself and fire fighters around the world, all the while being stylish enough to pass under the radar as daily wear. At first glance, the dial isn't really breaking new ground, but a first foray into mechanical watches for any brand should be glad they can play it safe and yet do so well. The sandwiched luminous layer beneath the matte black dial shines through well in low light, adding even more depth to what is truly a cavernous distance between the crystal and the hands. The William Wood script isn't too distracting, while the applied helmet logo adds a touch of class to the otherwise tool-orientated design.. It would be remiss to ignore the many easter-eggs left as references to classic…

Selling a quartz watch 10 years down the line

$

Before you think I am crazy hear me out.***

Would you buy a 10 or 15 year old quartz watch? Now, you may think to yourself: "hold on I have been brainwashed by the unsubstantiated crap it has no soul and it cannot be serviced, etc".

But, what if the quartz has a bog standard ETA quartz that you can buy for £15 and any watchmaker could swap it out for you in case it is not working.

I really like to know if people here buy old (>10 years) quartz watches and have the watchmaker swapping out the quartz movement. Yes, this is all hypothetical because a quartz should not need a service after 10 years.

Would you feel confident that after 15 years ETA still provides quartz movements (that your watchmaker can buy)?


***There is this Ebel for £1250-£1300 (ETA 2824-2) and the exact same model (same case, same steel bracelet, except that the automatic also comes with a spare rubber strap for a change) but with quartz (£950-£1100). I would rather like the quartz but I know I may never be able to sell it a few years from now. Tastes change so this is a sensible consideration to make to also having the option to sell it. The criticism that there is only a £15 quartz in the Ebel for a grey dealer price of £1000 is invalid because the £150 ETA in the automatic for a grey dealer price of £1250 is no steal either.

Benician is a great buyer !!!

Less than one year old, Grand Seiko Automatic, SBGR253.

Appears in perfect condition everywhere except the bracelet, which is minor scuff marks as can be seen from the photos.

Looking for £2400 via PayPal (plus shipping if outside the UK). Please note, shipping to Europe can only be insured up to £500 and shipping outside Europe is not insured at all, so I would rather find a buyer in the UK.
