Just got this Seamaster from Kakobuy for around $30.

Honestly, it’s not bad at all for the price. The NATO strap is a bit stiff, but I guess that’s to be expected.

It’s an automatic watch, but I have no idea which movement is inside or how accurate it actually is. I’ll have to keep an eye on the timekeeping over the next few days.

First impression, though: I’m pretty happy with it, especially considering it was only around $30.

War heute in Berlin-Steglitz unterwegs. Dort fand eine Querdenker-Demo statt.

Hi everyone,
I’d like to share the biggest project I’ve ever built.
Over the past several years I designed and built this full-size mechanical riding horse completely from scratch.
My goal was to recreate a realistic riding motion using woodworking, mechanical engineering and a simple drive powered by a standard drill.
Every part of the mechanism went through multiple prototypes before I was happy with the final movement. It took countless hours of designing, rebuilding and testing, but seeing it finally work made every setback worth it.
This project taught me more than any other build I’ve ever done.
I’d really love to hear what fellow makers think.
If you have any questions about the mechanism, design process or construction, I’ll be happy to answer them.
