wow valuable information machan. mama usa inne, mehen ganna tama baluwe machan

@SHEHAN_GIWANTHA tama kiwe automatic ekak ganin kyla, thna serama non auto nisa.

Seiko's are the Toyota's in the watch world, can't go wrong with most of them. It's a great brand to get in to a mechanical watch without spending too much money. Checkout the Seiko Presage range too. Some Beutiful designs there.

Don't forget to check the online shop : joomashop dot com. They are a secondary dealer (not authorised dealer for most brands) so warranty is provided by them, but suppose it's all ok unless it's a high value purchase.

Ow bung it`s in this video that Ghost_94 shared.

Not exactly sure how the rankings are made but.. Is it based on the value of the brad? the quality of the product? sales? Not sure. So probably not very valuable information but just to observe.

Fossil is a shitty fashion brand
Iwatches are not considered as watches
Only Tissot is the reputed watchmaker here

@GHost_94 , Check out this limited edition beauty from Oris... I am a sucker for vintage tool/pilot type designs so I really like this.

The dial is mostly printed, so does look too basic/simple for a 5k watch. Domed anti-reflective crystal is awesome but, so is the small second sub-dial... I wonder how it looks like in person though..

This guy seem to like it...

You can't go wrong with vintage style. They have a timeless design factor.
This is beautiful. 3300chf is Okey for a limited edition.
but this is very much look like their
big crown big crown pointer date calibre 403
But without pointer date hand.
I have a bad feeling that this limited edition has a ghost date.
That regular pointer date calibre 403 is also 3300 CHF. In my opinion that is Tudor, breitling territory. Too much.

That's right, I checked at a reputed online dealer which i've bought before. The special edition just became available to purchase. The pointer date is exactly 5k AUD, whereas the limited edition is 4.9k AUD.

They do very good deals sometimes (easily 20 30% off) need to keep an eye out..

Oris is an extremely good watch maker unlike TagHuer shits. But this is a dress watch. If you are sweating too much then leather strap is not for you. Don’t get it wet frequently.
otherwise Oris Aquis is the best option

Here`s an AWSOME article about one of the most robust watches built by Seiko. The Seiko Tuna....

** 7C46 high torque quartz movement - said to be fully repairable
** Single piece case, machined entirely from a solid titanium block. No case back
** Whilst Swiss dive watches had a helium escape value, Seiko decided to build the watch so tightly sealed that no helium could get inside the watch in the first place Typical Japanese


Copied from the article (credits to the original author):

In the 1960s, both Swiss and Japanese watchmakers 'worked out' that when watches were used professionally for helium saturation diving at great depths, they blew their glasses off during decompression. The problem was - Helium. Under high pressure, the inert Helium gas could enter the watch through regular gasket constructions, building up pressure inside the watch, equal to the pressure outside of the watch at that depth. Then, while decompressing the diver, the helium gas couldn't get out quickly enough, and thus the build-up pressure inside the watch caused the glass to blow off. In order to allow for quick helium release, the Swiss decided to construct a case with a helium valve. The Japanese opted for another solution: to construct and build a divers watch so 'tight' that the helium couldn't enter the watch in the first place. Seiko's solution was found in a special type and construction of the gasket, combined with titanium monocoque casing. The first Tuna was built in 1975, fitted with an automatic movement, waterproof to 600m. The rest is the history. Three years later, another release: the new quartz Tuna. It was the world's first professional Diver's 600M featuring a world-class corrosion-proof, shock resistant, airtight case. In 1985 Seiko released a 1000m titanium Tuna with ceramic bezel protection fitted with a high grade quartz mechanism. This was not an ordinary battery operated watch, but one fitted with a purpose built mechanism: shock resistant, high torque, and super accurate. The diver's watch standard - robust, reliable, repairable - was set by Seiko. During the past couple of decades the market for divers watches exploded. New models offered everything from a dive computer to email and web browsing to banking. Yet only a handful of watches were still built to 1980s standard: a true 1000m water resistance. In 2020, the new-old Tuna was welcomed by tens of thousands of serious watch aficionados looking for 'an old fashioned, properly built, no-nonsense' divers watch. A classic watch featuring high-tech materials like titanium, coated steel, and ceramic. A repairable watch which could be passed on to the next generation.

Inside the Tuna can

The original plan was to publish here a couple of images to show the 7C46 movement as well as the single-piece titanium case. However, since no suitable images could be found, I has no choice but to dig into it myself. The disassembly starts with removing the 4 side screws with a 1.5mm hex key. Once the screws are removed, the ceramic 'shroud' comes off, as well as the rotating bezel. Underneath the bezel are two click springs which hold the bezel in position.

At this point in time, the watch is still fully waterproof, so removing the bezel protector for cleaning or for the replacement of the click/bezel itself does not affect water resistance. (Hint: you can clean the bezel yourself!)

Crystal removal requires a special tool. The crystal is held down by a screw-down bezel. Between the bezel and crystal there is a poly washer.

The crystal's rubber seal is of a special shape, designed to 'hug' the crystal when pressurised. The crystal itself is a sapphire, flat, faceted, 4mm thick.

The next step is to remove the minute chapter ring. Underneath the chapter ring is a rubber O-ring which provides shock-absorbance for the dial and movement.

Stem removed, movement extracted form the case.

 

[MrCat]

7C46B is a high torque 7 jewel movement specifically made as a Seiko 'diver's calibre'. Operating range: between -10 ºC and +60 ºC. Accuracy: Less than 15 seconds per months when worn in temperature range between 5 ºC and 35 ºC. Or spot on when worn at the wrist! Again, these are impressive figures: 70 degrees operating range and 30 degrees guaranteed accuracy band. 7C46 is a fully repairable mechanism.

The monocoque, a single piece case.

The heart of the Tuna is the single piece case, machined entirely from a solid titanium block. No case back here! The quality of the case is simply superb, from finishes to tight tolerances. Indestructible, corrosion free. If you are into machining and manufacturing, you will be impressed: this is not a stamped-out mass produced case, but a one-at-a-time CNC high tech machined component of 'medical grade' quality.

Reassembled, and water pressure tested. Unfortunately my water pressure tester goes only up to 10 bar. Tuna easily withstands the ten times greater pressure of 100 bar!

Attention to detail: divers safety is important! On the back of the case, a scale of 25 to 35 can be found. And the famous 'dot': the punch mark carefully placed, indented by hand. Your Tuna needs a new battery in the third quarter of 2025! Such a personal touch... Who else would mark a perfect, brand new titanium monocoque case - but Seiko. Simply saying: this is a tool watch, not a toy.
