Sorry i misunderstood

commented on Watch Accuracy Meter app ·

Yeah….saves a ton of money and way better than a Pagani. All these were $75-100 cost and an hour or so to build. Bezel inserts always line up correctly and cyclops lines up correctly because i put them on. Bezel click if perfect.

Yeah. Saves a ton of money and everything lines up like it supposed to. Way better than a Pagani. Also has great click action on the bezel. A NH34(GMT) usually cost me about $100. A NH35 usually cost me about $80. Takes about an hour to put together. Takes practice getting hands on but there are plenty of videos on Youtube to show how. Bought about $30 of tools on AE and have everything I need.

I disagree. I have several that i have running at +2 or less consistantly.

I haven't tried this app. I started out with the USB device off AE that cost about $30 which can use different softwares. The TG freeware was most accurate. I also tried Watch-)-Scope and wasn't very impressed with it.

Later I did buy a timegrapher for around $100. It is way more accurate than other methods and worth the $100 to me as I build my own watches.

I would love to own a Rolex Two ToneRoot Beer if I had to choose one to own. But I would never spend that kind of money on any watch.

I tried the Pagani route and was disappointed over and over.

Building is the only way I can get what I want and my builds so far have been far better than a Pagani and all my watches have cost $75-100.

I am very happy with a homage.

commented on All watches! ·

I would rather feel comfortable wearing my watch in all situations than buying a watch and leaving it in a safe. There are plenty of homage watches that can give you the look and if you scratch it to bad you just replace it. Thats for me a more enjoyable experience.

First 24 hour accuracy check…

Now thats would I like to see. Who said a Seiko can’t be as accurate as a Rolex?
