The gearbox in the lower left has some gears in a vertical orientation and some in a horizonal orientation, to save space.
Here you can see how they had to shape the fork to save space, since the battery (currently removed) has to be big enough to accommodate the power draw.

To be honest the 2302 design that minimizes the tuning fork is better, even with the wacky gear design aside. The smaller fork runs at 480hz, the second highest tuning fork watch frequency ever, and so has marginally better accuracy.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as steel stunner, is in fact, Replica/Black Bay, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, "Shitter".
The genuine Tudor Black Bay is not a bad watch itself, but rather another meme dive watch, Rolex made by put together left-over parts, screws and other components, resulting a full watch defined by very insensitive marketing.
Many watch fuckers wear a replica versions of the Black Bay wristwatch every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the replicas of the Black Bay which is widely worn today are often called “Shitters”, and many of its users are not aware that it basically makes them gay instantly, intensifying their desires to suck cock while wearing their Fake Tudor.
There really are better watches for cheaper, like Seikos, and these people aren't buying those, but it is just a part of their gay nature.

Hey watchfuckers,
My name is Rakesh, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are intelligent, well educated, successful, who spend every second of their day wearing and enjoying genuine wristwatches. You are everything I am jealous of in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten a replica? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people whom actually bought a replica watch instead of an actual watch. This is even worse than spending time learning about horology.
Don't be a tgv-fag. Just hit me with your best accuracy rating. I'm just a few seconds over 1 minute a day. My fake watch even has a fake chronometer certification. What watch do you wear, other than high quality Japanese timepieces? I also get mocked by my friends and even my grandma (She just laughed off my BB; Shit was SO degrading). You are all horology masterminds who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

For 100 bucks it’s a great shitter.

I know nothing about movements but I don’t believe this is good quality. And I don’t think it’s a proper mechaquartz.
Sure there’s that great reset instant move but nowhere there’s mention of some mechaquartz aspect. Maybe some /wt/ nerd can tell us (ssb025)

ffs

The SSB025 has a 6T63 movement, which is the Seiko nomenclature for a VK63 movement used in a Seiko watch. The 6T63/VK63 is a mechaquartz chronograph movement; it uses hammers and heart cams to reset the chrono hands.

Hesalite is used for historical reasons on a few modern watches, and it has some real advantages over mineral and sapphire crystals. It can easily be domed, and it has way less crystal glare than any alternative material.

The downside is that it requires maintenance in the form of occasionally polishing the crystal with poly watch.

The best place to buy vintage Seiko models generally is on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, but you will need to use a proxy bidding service like ZenMarket or Buyee to be able to bid there.

The prices are much better than on eBay, and the selection is better, but you have to deal with google translated Japanese auction descriptions, limited pictures, and zero buyer protection for foreigners (i.e. you).

The watch itself is a 1971 King Seiko 45-7001 that was originally purchased of Yahoo! Japan Auctions by another regular poster here, who sold it to me because it didn't suit his skinny wrists.

The 45xx movement is the best handwinding movement series Seiko designed before the quartz revolution, and is one of the best volume production mechanical movements of the pre-quartz era period.

The downside to these is that they can be a little more prone to long-term wear issues than some other vintage Seiko movement designs produced by the Daini Seikohsa factory and that if you ever need replacement parts you will be stuck buying an expensive donor watch because there was never a cheap model with the 45xx movement you could scavenge parts from today.

In general, you should not even consider buying vintage watches unless you are willing to do the research necessary to become familiar enough with the model you are interested in to be able to independently evaluate the condition, originality, and price of any example you'd consider bidding on or you will be almost certain to get ripped off.

Yeah it is. I think it has that effect due to a limited curve to the lugs plus the spring bar being pretty far back from the lug tips.

Morning.

Got the black Eulit Palma on the 45 KS now. Also, it seems the last little micro-regulator adjustment I made may have done the trick as it now appears to be running about - 0.5 SPD on the wrist and about +1.1 SPD dial up, which works out pretty close to netting out to +0 SPD.

Finally completed the one on the right, a Suwa-made Type II 7548. I got a new Sternkreuz-made crystal in it that's a complete repro of the original Seiko one.

Also the 6106 on the right was originally for parts, but I serviced it and put it on a worn green nato, because it's basically a Nam watch:
>Seiko 5
>JDM
>1967
At first it was running like shit, I guessed because it's worn out, and called it a bust, but now I needed a 61xx part, so I took it out of the drawer, and now it runs fine! Weird.

There are some G-Shock squares that come in all stainless or a patterned rubber, and with small design changes, like using a screw on watch back or using flush screws with the regular watch back, it depends on how much of a fan boy you are.

Did that one day have a lot of shocks? The 214 is pretty shock sensitive, especially if the index fingers haven't been properly adjusted (which is a pretty difficult for procedure for the 214, where the procedure is "use tweezers and a microscope to bend the fingers into the right position with 50micron precision"), which can cause the watch to run very fast under shocks.

True, Montreals were the issued wristwatch of Hungarian People's Army pilots. Mig-21 and Mig-23 pilots for sure, maybe non-fighter pilots too.

It's sort of ironic that while in the 80's Soviet fighter pilots stationed in Hungary had better, more modern aircraft (Mig-29 vs Mig-23), but the Hungarians had the better watches (Heuers with V7750 movements vs. Poljots with V7734 clones)

Also with movements this old a mainspring change costs more, as you need to buy two mainsprings. One that's the same dimensions, and one that's one size thinner, therefore weaker.

The reason for this is that the new alloy that replaced the old springs everywhere by the mid 60's is in fact stronger for the same thickness. This will cause rebanking.
