Does anyone else own this one ?

This is solar watch from Seiko.
I’m wondering if that could be possible to change the battery for a regular one.
That would become a cool watch then.

CASIO W-300-4

For a long time, the CASIO W-300-4 felt like a myth.
Prototype? Promo sample? Custom mod?
But it turns out… it was real.

Looking for a Cheap Watch With Two Digital Times

I’m looking for a cheap watch with the function of digitally displaying two times at once, specifically GMT and local. Would be nice if waterproof too. Sorry if this is the wrong sub to ask, thanks for any input.

Elektronika 5 LCD smeared

Please tell me that this is fixable. I love this watch.
I had it in the basement with pretty stable 24 degrees Celsius. It was fine just 2 weeks ago and today I saw it like this. Depending on angle, it gets worse/better.
Is it the film?

Electronika 5 repair help

I have a Soviet Electronika 5 I’ve been working on fixing, originally it was just a battery compartment and polarizer issue, but when removing the polarizer I accidentally lifted the LCD and it released from the ribbon cables beneath, is there some way to fix it or it’s it kaput?

I made an app for my collection

Made a small collection app just for myself. It's not public, sorry :)

Shows photos, basic info, and a short story for each watch. Also added a battery tracking page — really helpful when I need to order replacements.

Obtained one of my personal grail! A DW-1000 variant

I've been on the hunt for a DW-1000-1 (metal bracelet and different crystal) which I found one for $200 in great condition.

I just got it today and the first thing I did was to disassemble the whole watch for cleaning. Initially, it looked good once I got it, but I knew the dirt buildup is there so I had to disassemble it.

This was the bezel and the bracelet removal. The bracelet was sized 7". I needed a bit more wiggle room so I had to fit my extra bracelet extender on it.

Buttons, washers and gaskets removed.

Crystal and crystal gasket removed. This has been always the scariest part for me.

Ultrasonic cleaning time! I placed the buttons, springs, washers and rubber button gaskets inside a container. The crystal, crystal gasket and the bezel had to be manually cleaned. (don't include the crystal inside the ultrasonic machine, you might end up peeling the decal behind the crystal)

After that, I had to polish the buttons, lubricate the button stems and the gaskets as well as the button holes on the case.

I've lost a number of c-clips, washers and gaskets before getting the hang of how to disassemble and re-assemble these. Always take caution when doing so.

(disregard the long spring, that's not part of this watch)

Assembly time! did some light polishing on the crystal (80,000 grit diamond paste on a rotary tool) before final assembly. I now have one for my personal collection 😭

Thanks! Now I got to find a DW-3000 next :)

CASIO 593

The CASIO W-39 can use the same 593 module as the CASIO W-31 and CASIO W-34, and its stainless steel case is excellent too. Which one do you like?
