Seiko Solar Chronograph White Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch SSC243

Speedy Reduced on Winder
I had my Speedy Reduced on a winder and checked the accuracy vs having it in the watch box face up and winding it every morning. On the winder it was losing 7.15 seconds per day, wearing it every third day. Having it in the box and wearing it every third day it is losing only 2.53 seconds per day. These measurements were both taken over about 2 weeks time each. This Speedy was mfg in 2005. I know the accuracy will vary over a period of time, but I am real happy with the -2.53 seconds and it will not go on the winder again.

Interesting Connection
From "The Watch" by Gene StoneAs the Hamilton Empire began to crumble in the late 70's the Co. fractured into several parts.The electronic watch division was sold to some Japanese Co. by the name of Seiko.

Disease
I was really tired after work yesterday, so instead of meeting up with friends, I hit the sack straight after dinner around 9pm. I woke up around 10:30pm when my gf called me and chatted with her for a while. It was around 1:30am and I realised that I could still get some sleep and wake up on time for work (7:30am) but instead, I decided to clean my watches, adjust a few straps, take a few pics and post an incoming thread, here on WTF. By the time I was done it was 5:30am and now with just 2 hrs of sleep I'm at work all exhausted and groggy This isn't the first time this has happened. I often stay up till the wee hours, browsing through WTF, cleaning my watches, checking out e-bay for any good deals (even when I'm broke). It's really a disease

Hulks are on their way to your local AD!
Hulks are on their way to your local AD, per conversation with local AD.He told me he got 2 in this past week, sold them both, he does not take lists, but puts them in the display case.He told me that he speaks to other AD's and that Rolex is starting to ship to AD's in the US after not shipping since last November. He does not know what is coming in, but he thought demand for SS sports watches would start to be satisfied at AD's by end of February/March. I see many Hulks for sale on this forum way above MSRP, good luck to the sellers who are flipping.
