Cool mod, Bob! Congrats on that fine addition to the herd. .gif) It's the calm after the storm and a nice day. On the outer edge of the storm but still very heavy rain and OMG what wind. But just small tree branches came down. I'll be doing more cleanup with this modded Uhr-Kraft....... Bob |

It's the real thing, Baby! Congrats, Johan! Love the Samurai. I think the Caravelle is nice, but you have other blue watches I'd pick before that one. Wearing my SD today here. |

I just noticed how cool that bezel is! It has funky asymmetrical cut-outs on it. |

That strap looks great in the Weiss.  I like how it looks a little weathered. Congrats Captain! That Samurai will be a nice stable mate for your Sumo. Very nice watch young man. I'm going with something a little smaller today.... |

I like the all-dial look, John. What's the diameter? Looking very good Johan! Some of the older movements don't have a day quickset, just the date - presuming you'd never let it run down - and that all you'd need is to advance the date at the end of 28, 29 and 30 day months. Congrats on the Samurai. The Atlantic Seacrest Automatic adorns my wrist today - the large size automatic powered by an ETA 2824-2. The sapphire crystal is subtly domed to prevent it becoming a circular mirror. Like the Enicar yesterday, I hadn't worn it in quite a while, having ignored any semblance of rotation for many months. Atlantic is one of the very few independent Swiss watchmaking firms without its own in-house movements. They survived the Quartz Revolution by refocusing their marketing east of the Iron Curtain, primarily in Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, where quartz watches were extremely scarce and there was no silver oxide or mercury battery manufacturing infrastructure of any significance to support them. No batteries; no ticking. After the Cold War ended circa 1989-1991, their primary market has remained in that region. They're unknown in North America. |

Thanks Dan . . . diameter is 38mm not including the crown. Other dimensions - didn't get the calipers out; used plastic ruler: Lug to lug: 44mm Lug Width: 20mm Thickness: ~12mm (what you'd expect for an ETA 2824-2 dress piece) The current Atlantic Seacrest line is all 42mm with Ronda quartz now. No automatics like they have in numerous other lines. You can tell the automatics by their prices that are more than double the quartz ones. ;-) |
