What are we wearing today?
The Seiko.
Fun fact:
This watch has a regulator inside it, at first I didn't recognize it to be one, but it damn well is.
Never heard of regulation in digital quartz watches.
A regulator? What do you mean? Not like a balance right?
In quartz probably a trimmer (variable capacitor)
rang the seiko boutique to get a baby snowflake but even they cannot get it
so.... just got a SARB035 on ebay
now the wait begins
The light brown thing with a gold screw on it.
The watch was running maybe a second a day fast so I adjusted it some days ago, now it's maybe half a second late.
Sorry for your loss. SARBs are so boring and you will not want it in a few weeks.
I want to order a nice and manly watch. Not looking to spend over 200€. Recommendations? It'd be my first watch since I was a little kid
Oh I'm an idiot, regulator right. I was thinking of something else. That is pretty cool user.
