Wet Wednesday - Sept 28 - what's on your wrist?
Raining cats and dogs here in Pennsylvania. I'm sporting this new addition Greenwich today. I serviced it on Sunday and meant to wear it Monday but found the mainspring snapped overnight. Changed it again for Tuesday but the same thing happened. Finally put in a Dynavar white alloy mainspring last night and that seems to have done the trick. Third try's the charm. Very strange

I think I am a magnet for defective watches.Just received a Jacques Lemans 7751 moon phase watch.Beautiful, even with the large second hand floating around loose in there.Wow, I can't believe the luck I have.The SWI LE should be here shortly, hope that one pans out.

Junkbox Watches Megathread. For all those little finds that normally wouldn't be seen
(Hooray for one bad banner, anyone want to make a better one?)Welcome to the Junkbox Watches Megathread! I hope that you'll find this interesting, and contribute a little bit as well!First off, let me explain why I made this thread. I know that every so often you'll get a neat little watch, some little thing you found at a yardsale, church rummage sale, or even on Ebay or charity stores (Salvation Army, Goodwill, Savers). And while all these little finds can't have individual threads, I thought it would be a good idea to make one big one where everyone can post a picture or two and see each other's finds. So, what is a 'Junkbox Watch'?I'm terming this phrase myself, and my definition if 'junkbox watch' would be any watch found outside of a store or personal seller who is selling that watch in particular, or any watch that you've discovered in a long-lost box somewhere. Most of the time Junkbox watches are usually found being sold by inexperienced sellers, or being sold way undervalue.

Accuracy and consistency of AP ROO Diver (Ceramic Black)
Hi all,I recently purchased a ROO Diver Ceramic (Black with Orange markers). I have worn it daily for the past month and over the past two weeks, I have been observing the accuracy of the watch using my iphone clock as a reference and noticed two things that seem a bit odd to me.Firstly, the alignment of the minute and second hands.I have noticed that the second hand and the minute hand do not necessarily line up at different times of the day. (i.e. the second hand at the 12 o'clock position when the minute hand is at the minute markers). Some times, they would be aligned perfectly and at other times they can be off by as much as half a minute (i.e. the minute hand is directly in between two minute markers but the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position).The second hand is also about 10 seconds slower over the same time period. However, I do not think that the second hand being off by only 10 seconds is a big issue.Second, and what I believe is the bigger issue is the accuracy and co

The Kermit.. I want one , not sure why.
I have a two tone blue sub. Bought new. I never wear it. It attracts a bit much attention. Can anyone help me decide between a black bezel sub or the Kermit. I don’t care for the hulk. I saw an LV Kermit locally but passed on it. I shouldn’t have. Anyway, I welcome thoughts from Kermit owners. I might sell the blue sub outright in 10years. I’ll certainly make my money back and then some. I’m not sure why I like the Kermit. Is this anyone’s daily watch? Just asking thoughts. It’s subtle, different, durable, and flies under the radar. When I wear the bluesy sub, people look at it. It makes me uncomfortable because I keep thinking I’ll get robbed, plus I’m just not into vanity. What can I expect to pay, I wonder. The pre owned one I saw was 9200$ which I thought was insanely high. It had a few scratches , but it is before Xmas and it seems people have lost their minds paying 11k for Batman gmts. Reportedly..I find the Kermit beautiful . Real
