Any watch lovers here????

I like the black dial but I wanted something different so I took the chance on the blue and really like it.
I think that our newer version looks better than the older one with the T shaped day/date window etc

 

1970 (N0) Bulova Accutron.
10k rolled gold plate back
18k heavy gold plate bezel.

Fairly rare up/down dial in green texture.

Goodwill find for $40 and $150 in service & parts. It’s keeping time +\- 10sec pr week.

Pretty stoked with the outcome.

 

I shipped a Seiko to their authorized service center and they did a great job on my vintage digital. I recommend it.

 

Sweet find.
I can't never find anything good at the 'Will...

 

You guys know anything about the MVMT watches? They seem affordable and decent looking. I know they’re not Rolex, Breitling, etc., but for a decent day to day watch, I might try one.

Any thoughts?

 

They are just cheap quartz fashion watches. For only a little more you are in range of a Hamilton or Seiko 007 that would be a lot more satisfying to own.

I’ve been thinking about building one myself too. I think I have most of the tools. There is so much custom stuff to make your own design. Seems like it would be fun.

 

Im thinking of building a 007 as well. Degaz makes some really cool stuff to make it your own.

 

Shut up about the 007! You all have me eye balling them.

What was the deal with the serial numbers/ model number. Place of manufacturer?

 

I've found better deals on the 007s on Amazon than anywhere else. Especially the Japanese model.

 

The 007J models are Japanese built, and the 007K2 is made in Malaysia. I have one of each and honestly I can't tell the difference. Actually my K2 keeps better time, but it's also been regulated since I got it.

 

JBraun covered it exactly.

 

There's no difference that I can tell. The J model is said to be built for the home market.

009 variation is the blue/red bezel.

 

Go with a Perlon strap, they are great and should keep the cost down a bit. You can even get them in WERA blue. Also if your doing the bezel insert I'd suggest throwing a coin edge bezel on there as well to make it a bit more unique, plus you could broom the original assembly's on ebay to recoup some cost.
