Sorry, we all drive cute cars around here so I thought it was a social norm.

Oh, is anyone here interested in watch making?

I just ordered a bunch of tools so I can repair (and mod) my favorite little Seiko automatic diver. It's an inexpensive watch but it's been my favorite forever. They don't make them anymore and I don't want to pay a lot for a used one so I am going to go in and operate. I have had automatic movements apart before but it's been a while.

hey mustang- my orient watch can't keep the time straight. it advances on its own about 6-10min per day if i wear it, will keep the time perfectly if not worn. but then dies.

so i ended up getting a seiko kinetic watch. very accurate.

Sounds like it needed some regulation!

My first ever watch was a Seiko kinetic (I still have it safely stored away.) They are nice and keep perfect time. But I prefer the intricacies of automatic movements, even if they are relatively inexpensive like the Seiko 7S26 and require some regulation. I can get the 7S26 to get to +/- 10-15 seconds per day which is good for that movement.

I might source some parts later this year to build a watch with a Swiss ETA automatic movement.

I have had a Casio G-Shock Multi Band 5 Atomic Solar watch for about 10 years now. It keeps perfect time. My wife gave it to me as a birthday present. It was pricey at the time, but it has been worth the cost. I say invest in a good watch, and call it a day.

Inaccurate watches bother me.

What wrong with getting out of work 6-10 minutes early? According to your watch, you could be done a weeks worth of work by Thursday

that is like when i was a teen working at some appliance store and a pretty lady customer came and told me she wanted to return a digital bathroom scale. she said it measured her too light. so i told her wats wrong then?

she chuckled and took it home.

Z is getting driven less during the week since I'm taking the remaining 6 months of the parental leave and staying home with my son and the wife is going back hehe

I spent all day yesterday getting Uprev/Dyno while her mom from Ottawa babysat, so not a bad deal...I'm working in my "days off" to get Z time

Stay-at-home Dad FTW! How can I convince my wife that we should have a kid so I can do this?
