Inexpensive Luxury Orbita Privee RX Watch Winders Available For Beta Test
Orbita is one of a handful of manufacturers of luxury watch winders. Watch winders are devices that wind automatic watches for you while you don't wear them. Any watch collectors knows what a pain it can be to sit there and make sure all your watches are constantly wounds. Otherwise they stop, and each time you want to wear them you have to adjust the time, or more depending on the watch's complications.Watch winders are a good idea but usually notoriously expensive.

Anyway......I have always been one of those types who liked to know how things work. And who likes to try to fix them if they don't work. My primary interest along those lines has been electronics and I managed to teach myself as much as I could and actually become a reasonably proficient troubleshooting/repair technician. That was my line of work for most of the 35 years I was actively employed (with 8 years of active duty service in the USAF tucked in, from 1978 to 1986). The last ten years of that period I worked in the manufacturing arena as a debug technician working mostly with surface-mount PC boards, so I'm not exactly a stranger to working with VERY small items, using precision tools, under magnification.

The Seiko (Tuna & Shrouded Divers) Watch Crystal Guide:
Hello everyone & welcome to the (Seiko Tuna & Shrouded Divers) watch crystal guide. I've put this guide together over the past few years because of the huge following that these Professional Dive watches have had since there introduction in 1975 to present day. Also due to the many questions past & present owners have had, regarding which crystal is needed for a particular watch model in question. The following is a complete up to date comprehensive list of (OEM Seiko part numbers) for the various Shrouded & Tuna diver models AFAIK as of January 2013. The latest part numbers are shown for current replacement & interchangeability. Some of the photo's were barrowed from the web for visual reference.Watch model = Seiko OEM Crystal150m Qtz.

Should i open it 5960/1a?
Long time collector but always on the sidelines.Decided to take the next step and join the community.Have always enjoyed the great conversations on the forum.After many watches from lange, rolex, ap, patek, fp journe, i have to say that this watch has the it factor. I think it becomes the 5711 of the future. If a decide to open it, i will post the obligatory wrist-shot. Decisions, decisions???

If you're thinking of brushing out PCL's.......
DO IT! It took me about a year to finally decide have it done. I only regret I didn't do it sooner. I highly recommend LA Watchworks. $90 + shipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
