What Watch Are You Wearing Today?

Trouble is though some of those movements wind the movement whilst setting the hands. The Glycine does. Not certain about the CW's. Great if you wear a watch daily or put them on a winder, that's debatable whether that is healthy for a watch anyway, depends which school of thought you believe.

Ahh sorry, I was under the impression the movement in your Glycine was 2824 derived but having now looked online I see it's a newer GMT ETA... Please disregard my last post.

Was going to say, if it's winding via the crown whilst in the time setting position I suspect there may be something wrong with the movement but having never handled a ETA-2893 I wouldn't know... If it is normal, that would really annoy me o_O As you say, fine if you never take it off!

That is a known issue with the ETA2824/Sellita SW200... Although technically capable of manual winding they should never actually be hand wound if at all possible... The ratchet wheel cannot handle it and shears teeth.

Best to shake them awake, winding via the rotor is much gentler on the gears than hand winding (y) Strangely this issue is present on all the Swiss movements but not the 'A2824' Chinese clone of this movement, go figure :unsure:

This is a pretty well known issue, but I can't seem to find anything about the newer Powermatic movements (a development of the 2824) and whether or not they are affected on the same way.

I recently stripped the thread on the crown/tube of one of mybfqvorite divers...
 
Last night as I was at a loose end before the Football. I decided to paint in the numbers on my Glycine Airman World Timer. Only a small thing ( where have I heard that before?) but for me it improves the overall look. I used modellers enamel paint, a tiny brush, a steady hand and my Thumb to remove the excess paint. Worked a treat. IMG_0469.jpeg
