What a beautiful watch , I want one !!!

 

Only the faintest light bleeding through the blinds this morning.

 

If there's one watch to make someone a confirmed mechanical watch enthusiast, it's this X-33 quartz Speedmaster. It's not that it isn't an amazing watch with brilliant functionality (and, to be honest, one of my favourites). It's just that it's an absolute psychopathic monster when it comes to battery changes.

If it doesn't like a battery, no matter how new and shiny, it will sulk. If you haven't purchased a brand-new battery just off the production line, that very morning, it will sulk. Yesterday's battery is treated with absolute contempt. It's almost worth the king's ransom that Omega charge to get them to do it. Try it yourself, and you may need treatment afterwards, as many posts on the Internet will attest.

Suffice to say, I changed mine yesterday, and today I shall be having a lie down, while my X-33 decides whether the third new battery I provided yesterday, is to its liking. Nine titanium case screws, the size of bacteria, in and out three times has rendered my eyesight redundant and my patience, well, the least said the better. ... So, here for your entertainment is my X33 that I am wearing this morning. A simple photograph of a watch, that belies its true nature! ... Only three years and I shall have to do it again... ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Old pic's

 

 

They're isn't enough metal in my no-name to set off an airport metal detector.

 

 

Good morning......

 

Good morning......

Awesome, I love it

 

Casio Perpetual Calendar

HAGD

 

Oh, I've got a couple of them, even trying to make it jealous doesn't work, it just sulks even more. ....

 

Sunday Casio Oceanus S100. Titanium, world time, sapphire, tough solar 6 band auto setting, module aligns second hand so it hits the marker. Zatatsu polishing from the monks of Grand Seiko. How Casio sell such a watch for the $300 or so they sell them for is beyond me but the module makes the Swiss quartz's I own a flint tool versus a Swiss Army Knife.

 

Morning.

 

Good morning 🌞 😊.
This today.

 

Slimline Seiko Sunday

 

Morning all.

 

Sunday working today. Will nip to the pub later.

 

Not worn this is in a while.

 

I really like these.. if I didn't have field watches coming out of my ears I'd add one.

 

Not worn this one for a year so im giving it a try. Ignore the day and date, i can hardly see them so never set them.

Switcheroo. Just waiting for my Apple Watch to charge before I hit the treadmill for half an hour.

 

Morning All

 

No disrespect to those who own/love/Covet the Black bay my second alternative the Pablo Profundo (Deep Paul ) which comes with a beautiful winding action and a real rivet bracelet but an unusual depress and turn bezel.
