The Under £200ish Watch and occasional Opera Thread! Vol2
Discussion
Red wine + eBay =
Only €55, came with box and papers (provenance being all-important when purchasing a pre-owned luxury watch like an Invicta), a black crocodile leather strap, a perlon single pass strap, the bracelet AND a half-full bottle of Aramis 900.
I’m not sure whether to use the Aramis as after shave or as paintbrush cleaner.

Ah, the red wine decision… I’ve made a few of those!Only €55, came with box and papers (provenance being all-important when purchasing a pre-owned luxury watch like an Invicta), a black crocodile leather strap, a perlon single pass strap, the bracelet AND a half-full bottle of Aramis 900.

Yeah, excellent.
A bit of a gap with the square ends but as it’s all black it doesn’t really stand out.
That PVD Samurai was a heck of a bargain!
Basically I couldn't justify (even with my man maths) £80 extra for end links....that would nearly pay for a Ali sourced Steeldive WillardA bit of a gap with the square ends but as it’s all black it doesn’t really stand out.

Also all the PVD/DLC coated bracelets are over a brushed finish, this Samurai has a sort of shot blasted base so not sure how it would have looked together.

Well, I can finally say that my Vostok Europe has settled down and is now maintaining time really well!!
That’s great news. Has it just done that all on its own or have you been experimenting with leaving it standing in different positions?Bobberoo said:
Seven, yes seven, lots of demagnetising!!! And it now appears to be running within a few seconds over 8 hrs!!!
Wow! Glad it’s sorted now. I know we don’t expect quartz accuracy but there’s nothing worse than a watch that gains or loses so much that it can’t be relied upon.Post a picture when you get a chance
