Just picked this up recently. An amazing watch. The sweep and accuracy really is something else.
I am somewhat considering removing the cyclops. Any of you do that with your Sevilles and have any comment/tips?
Super Seville 96B439
Bought this from some random guy near Autzen years ago. Have always gotten a kick out of it like the "addicted to quack" ones as well. Any of you guys have some fun back alley gear?
DW-5600EP-9. Show me your squares that are a little different!
(not including metallic/MR-G versions 😅)
Finally got the GW-5000U-1JF. I absolutely love it as I knew I would. The band is as nice as they say, definitely softer/ more premium feeling than my other squares, and the polished screw-in caseback is amazing. I have a few Bluetooth Gs but this is my first multiband 6 model (which as you can see I have not been able to sync yet during the day here in Central Oregon) and it just seems like the absolutely perfect iteration of a square. If anyone has any tips on how to boost it's signal reception during the day I would appreciate it!
I also want to someday get a combi v2 for it, so I'm hoping I'll be able to find one online at a semi decent price.
Hello, I recently got this watch with a PT5000 movement. It was running great until one day I realized it had stopped. I opened it up and was able to get it running again, but realized that it will stop if it's tilted towards the crown side. It seems like the balance must be hitting something but I'm not sure.
Also, when I opened it up, this little tiny screw fell out. I have no clue where it goes or if it has something to do with the watch stopping all the sudden. Can any of you tell me where this screw might go and if there is some simple explanation as to why the watch stops so easily? Attached video of it stopping. I will comment a photo of the rogue screw as well.
I appreciate any help-- I do not know much about this and I'm trying to not make anything worse.
Recently received my t023. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, it decided to die on my wrist yesterday. It was running great (+3spd), but I went to check the time and realized it had stopped some time before. I took it off, gave it a wind, but still nothing. The balance wheel seems to be stuck because I can tell it's winding properly and taking on tension. I haven't opened it yet because I don't want to void any warranty.

This is my very first experience with a pt5000 so I'm definitely disappointed. I contacted the Tactical Frog store on Ali where I bought it and am hoping to get a new one since I only wore it a couple times before it broke. No impact or water or anything else. Hope to be wearing it again soon and kind of wish it used an NH movement instead.
Hello, I have a few automatic watches that I would like to get some work done on. I spoke to the big watch shop out in Sisters but they won't touch at least one of the watches because they can't guarantee they will be able to source parts (it's a Chinese pt5000 movement) and they seem to do everything by the book where they will only work on things under certain circumstances. They also won't do movement swaps.
​
Does anyone know of any watchmakers in Bend that might be willing to take a swing at a few different requests I have? I would especially love to meet someone who does it as a hobby more or less, who would be interested in making some money.
​
Any info on someone willing to work with mechanical watches of all types would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I've never seen this spinning-subdial date change before, and I'm pretty sure my 2100 doesn't do it. Just thought it was neat.
Just got this GST-B1000D-3A in the mail today. I can't tell you how much I love it. Makes me want to sell the rest of my watch collection just so I can jump up to a MR-G as well. Fantastic watch and bracelet.
Just got this in the mail today. Very different from any of my others and I think I'm going to wear it a lot. DW-5600JV-7.
