Thanks.Should be fine IMO. A lot of TD's will crank the living hell out of the mainspring for the QC's so it's probably got a full wind on it.
Looks awesome!Mine finally arrived. I turned down 4pcs due to dial indice placement, lume spill. Overly crooked 6, uncentered date, the usual stuff.
This was the best of the bunch, the bezel movement is a little looser than the original but apart from that and the noisy light rotor, its a keeper for now.
Photo fitted on OEM rubber.
Has anyone successfully removed the bezel? I put it into my bezel removal tool but it would not seperate enough to release (which i've never had before on any watch).
My bezel alignment is slightly off so I was going to remove the insert and reseat it with glue. If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated!
Fair enough haha yes! I'm sure there are plenty of guides around. I'm a dab hand with arts and crafts generally so it wouldn't be too bad i imagine. I think i just think to myself 'watches' and cower in fear lol. How are you liking the watch when compared to other reps? looks great.I haven't had the issue at all with mine, but as someone who has repainted engraved numerals on bezels before, this is far from a "horror story". It's the easiest fix imaginable.
Is this a rep or a real one? I thought the black dial has the numerals incorrectly applied. This one seems to be painted
Did you get the sw200 version?
I'm mostly happy with my watch from jtime. I do have a couple quibbles:
Chiefly, as you can see in this picture, there's a flaw on the bracelet that they didn't show well at all on the QC. To me, they should have noticed and not tried to sell it, or if they wanted to pass it through gone out of their way to highlight it in pics.
Beyond this, I found sizing the bracelet difficult because the turn screw system didn't secure back easily.
It loses nearly 30 sec a day.
If I go a day without wearing, even if I wind it good the last night I wear it, I find it dead on morning of the second day.
Haven't seen the gen so I don't know how close they got color of the bezel, which often looks almost turquoise. Most pics I see I don't notice it being this shade.
Other than that, well made. I know a watch guy who was stunned when I told him it was a rep. He said "If that actually is a rep, it's worth every penny."
Gonna ask again, is this the SW200 version?I appreciate the advice. I’ve read a lot on here about replacing the motor. I’m not a horologist though, I have no inkling about opening this thing up. Not sure about the movement in this one. I ordered from jtime in mid-March 2023 and received it early April, if that tells you anything.
Not sure. Is there a way of finding out without opening up the case? Again, I’m the noob of noobs with watchesGonna ask again, is this the SW200 version?
Without opening, it will be hard. If you've ever handled maybe a gen swiss made watch with an eta or sellita movement, you could probably tell on how the watch winds, changes date etc.Not sure. Is there a way of finding out without opening up the case? Again, I’m the noob of noobs with watches
How much did you pay? That'll tell you the answerHmm, that's interesting. I wonder if there's any watches at Macy's on 34th St that have this movement and I could check. But I'd hold my breath that they'd know what watch to point me to.
I'm curious though--what's the difference? Is JTime sending different versions of this watch these days?
