EDIT: the only thing that annoys me about this watch is the noise of the spinning rotor, it quite loud, pointing at badly designed bearings.

Snap.....I agree with you regarding the spinning noise.....fairly loud. My only other criticism was to swap out the included strap for one of my own....

@Decoda, I notice your power indicator goes beyond 40 hours, mine never does. Did you manually wind it up?

Regarding the noise I was thinking of greasing the bearings with some silicone lubricant, I believe it helps cut down on noise slightly. The alternative it to remove the rotor and stick with manual winding but its not bugging me that much...yet.

Hi Finglas,

That was out of the box with the new strap put on it. I hadn't wound it yet so on mine that is the 0 hand position. I've never wound beyond the 40 mark?

Let me know how it goes with the bearings. For the money, I really can't fault it.

Hi guys....so as some of ye who've been generous enough to offer me advice on the purchase,I took the plunge and picked up a tissot prc200 auto chromo...it's a big unit and quite thick which may not be everyone's cup of tea but it was what I was looking for on this occasion!1st Swiss watch but not thebleade hopefully!

Came across this on creationwatches for a really good price so chalked it down before Christmas as a smart watch to wear for work with a suit...worked out at just over 150 compared to 289 in weirs so was hard to resist...nice back up for the tissot I reckon....

Very nice! Enjoy it and wear it! No point leaving it at home to mind it.

Guys, those of you who have 5-10+ watches, how do you keep them, I mean do u just put them in a drawer or you have any specific stand for it? I have them in a drawer and afraid of getting them scratches....

A cheap way to store them is to check Lidl...they sell tea in boxes, buy one and few cushions...cheap as chips

You can either drink or bin the tea !!!!

I use a watch box. Loads of them on Amazon.

Any idea what the tea is called so that I get the one you are referring to? Where can you get those small cushions ?

Eoin

They sell the tea boxes on their own every so often. Just keep an eye out for them in the usual weird-assortment aisle.



You can buy cushions on eBay, or chop up some foam pipe insulation.

bbari

Thank Eoin, is that the same tea box ?

Eoin

Yep, that's the same one - I think they're a tenner. Avoid the cheapo watch cases on eBay; I bought one and they're a bit flimsy.

bbari

Thank you, I appreciate your suggestion.

Sadly these are copies, but me being 17 I couldn't afford the strap of one of them nevermind the whole watch..
Got them all on holidays, still working but they are just eye candy at the minute!

I don't wanna come across as a dick here Seanf999, but the folks here really get peed off at fakes and the charter reflects that. Normally I'd be reaching for the edit button and all that jazz, but since I once bought a fake Breitling when on the lash in Italy(and I wouldn't even buy a real one TBH)...

That said even at 17 *old guy here *. It's clear you have an idea of the kinda watches you like and want and I look forward to the day when you get a legit one. You might be surprised but you can source legit and very cool watches, even among the "big names" for a lot less than you might imagine. Stick around, you may yet find some legit and reasonably priced watches you can hang onto for years.

Sorry I had no idea.. I won't make the same mistake twice..

Which shop?

Can you PM if you don't want name them here.

Finally found a NATO that I'm happy with...

Eoin

Cool - and that watch will suit a few different styles too. A thin leather one would look very nice too.

Thanks. I had the Zulu leather one on it before but I just didn't like it. Plus it pulled the hairs out of my wrist! Ha.
On the lookout for something new (old) now. But not sure what. Something simple maybe.

Eoin

I've owned both of these and they've both been very comfy

All black Chinese Airforce 1963 project watch, arrived without customs bill yay. Will look for more suitable strap, Hirsch Liberty is a bit too rugged imo
