Ich arbeite seit 12,5 Jahren im öffentlichen Personennahverkehr als Mechaniker für Stadt - und U-Bahnen, sowie Straßenbahnen. Meine persönlichen monatlichen Zuschläge und Zulagen sind Monat für Monat nah beieinander. Es kann mal 200€ weniger, dafür aber auch gut und gerne mal 500€ mehr sein.

My ZF Black Bay 58’s ETA 2824 movement is defective, and I’d like to replace it. I’m looking for a watchmaker in Germany who can carry out the swap. I can also source a new ETA 2824 movement myself if necessary.
Does anyone here know a watchmaker or have a contact they could recommend?

I hope someone can tell me what the problem is and whether it can be fixed.
I received this ZF Burgundy today, and I’m having issues with the movement. When I wind the watch, the seconds hand starts running briefly. However, as soon as I change the watch’s position or lay it down, it stops at the exact same spot.

First Addiesdive watch — opinions seem divided
I got my first Addiesdive today. As you can see, it’s an homage to the IWC Mark XX (I’m absolutely in love with the original).
The Addiesdive logo is awful, but I knew that before buying it. Other than that, I really like the overall look, and it seems to be solidly built. The bracelet is decent for the price, though I might swap it for a different strap later on.

My two favorite hobbies combined: watches and making coffee. 💚

Got my VSF Pistachio today. I absolutely love the look of this watch. That said, I have to admit the overall quality and feel don’t impress me as much as my VSF Seamaster. The OP feels quite light, and the bracelet is a bit rattly.
The SELs were already pointed out during QC, and I was fine with them since it’s just a replica. However, the end links have so much play that I can slide them left and right against the lugs.
Overall, I’m still happy with it and will definitely be wearing it.

Hi! I recently ordered a VSF Oyster Perpetual 41 with the pistachio dial, and I absolutely love the watch.
When it was first released, a lot of people said the green dial color was quite different from the genuine one. However, I’ve read that VSF has improved the dial color since then.
Is that actually true? Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any direct side-by-side comparison between the latest VSF version and the genuine watch.

Today on my wrist 👌🏻

Got this little bastard for 42 € on dhgate. I didn't expect anything but surprisingly okay. Except for the bezel that is completely shitty

I received my first “super clone,” a VSF Seamaster. The watch runs great, and I’m also impressed by the quality. I just noticed that the rotor is stiff and hardly spins. From other watches with inexpensive Seiko or Miyota movements, I’m used to the rotor spinning extremely fast in circles. Is it intentionally dampened to reduce the cheap-sounding noises? I’m not very familiar with the technology behind it, so please excuse the question.

This is my first real QC and also my first truly high-end replica. So far, I’ve only had two cheap pieces of junk. I’m not nearly as deep into the topic as the guys over at RepTime.

I can see that the 3 o’clock marker is slightly crooked, but apart from that it looks good to me. What do you guys think?
