Bike: Fuji Feather

Hi, I recently found this Tissot at an auction. It looked nice in the photos, and I was hoping it would start after I installed the battery. Unfortunately, it didn't start. I'm a complete beginner at repairing any kind of movement, but maybe someone here can tell by its appearance if the movement looks damaged. I only know that the tuning fork movement is very delicate, but I'll try ordering a second battery just to be sure, because I don't know if the one I have has voltage (I have no way to test it). I really like my find and I'd like it to start. Is it worth having it serviced by someone else, and how much would that cost?

I recently found this '71 mechanical Timex Marlin for $30 and knew I had to have it. I've had my eye on vintage watches before, and this one isn't "boring." The black dial with a red crosshair gives nice depth. Even though it's just a Timex, I see strong inspiration from the Omega Seamaster DeVille from Mad Men. Watches from that era can have their problems.To my surprise, for a 55 year old mechanical watch, this Timex is in good condition , keeps accurate time, and holds a reserve. I don't know why the crown is a different color, but it works and looks just like the original silver one, so for this price, I can't complain. I'm appreciating these little vintage watches more and more!

This Seiko perfectly captures why I love field watches so much. They never get old to me.

First trying "Tiffany Blue" dial colour with this Casio EFR-S108D-2BVUEF 🩵🔥

I used a rally leather strap for this watch for a long time, but I decided to try a good quality silicone strap to not to be afraid of getting wet. First impressions are good. Look of this Casio now resembles a Daytona or Longines Conquest Chronograph. What do You think about this combo ?

This was exactly what I was looking for. A cheap, fast, good-looking simple bike. Fuji surprised me with its ride quality. I've ridden steel frames, but this one feels more comfortable. Even the stock 30mm tires aren't too bad for city riding, which I'd say after 800+ km I've ridden it on. I recently bought the bike. I'm consciously riding with a freewheel, but in the future I plan to upgrade parts like the wheels, crankset, chainring, etc., but for now, I'm riding it as is.

I think I'll stick with this bike for a while, because the frame alone is worth it.

What do you think of the Fuji Feather model?

It might be a boring collection, but I like tool watches, field watches, and watches that give me a certain versatility, so I often choose black or white dials. I change straps often and I have plenty of them. My favorite watches are :

Seiko SSK023, Hamilton Khaki, and Citizen Tsuyosa. My latest purchase is a Casio MRW-230 in Black and "Pepsi" color, which I'll use as a beater watch for the summer. I also own a Casio Edifice chronograph. As dress watches, I have a Seiko SNKL23 and a vintage Seiko SQ on a jubilee bracelet. Do you have any recommendations for me?
