This is a VSF seamaster. I had swapped in a top grade 2824, was working great, took it apart to reset the hands as the date change wasn't at midnight, and the crown wouldn't go back in, I assumed it was the keyless works which I reset. Now the watch winds, date changes, hands move appropriately but the watch won't start ticking. AI suggested it was the hacking lever. I'm clearly in over my head. Is there anybody in the eastern us that would be interested in servicing?

Recently got the mako 3 solar in the brown. Really reminds me of tropicalized dials. Really a nice watch for the money.

I heard TGV in his top 50 dive watch video talking negatively about orient but for $200 it's a great watch with a really cool aesthetic

Perhaps I'm the minority here but really do like the updates across the lineup.

I think it's a good refresh, love the applied indices. Love the subtle hand changes.

Honestly love the sapphire - my Neptune would scratch so bad with the acrylic.

To me they feel more like neo-vintage rolex references as compared to outright vintage inspired. But it's cool! 90s style imo.

I wish the astra still had a date that's my only complaint.

Really do like the other changes. Wanna buy the falcon.

Cheers

I didn't mod this, just bought it off someone. VS3135 with a gen balance bridge. Runs really good!

I was always in love with the Artisan De Geneve 6536 Brown tribute.

I have a spare VSF GMT and would love to tropicalize the dial to a brown in a similar way but have no idea how to do it other than maybe building a UV light rig and leaving it in there for like a month but that sounds like a hassle.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or know where I can source a custom 3285 brown dial? I'd be willing to pay up to $500 for a custom dial if anyone can do this
