What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[jut703]

That 62 MAS re issue is a whopping Php 250,000.00. For a few grand more you can probably get a decent pre-owned Rolex Sub.

You're referring to the SLA017:



Only 2,000 pieces available so from the original 180k price point, there's really a tendency for prices to rise over time. Every now and then there are sellers in SWCP/PWC selling it for under 200k.

What mokong22 and I were referring to were the SPB051 (black) and SPB053 (blue):

My mistake, but those Seikos are so very lovely nonetheless.

It's basically a solar-charging battery...

Citizen Eco-Drive technology harnesses the power of light – from any natural or artificial light source – and converts it into energy, which is stored in a permanently rechargeable solar cell. An Eco-Drive watches recharges itself in any kind of light, to run forever. (the last sentence, I'm a bit skeptical of since we know rechargeable batteries will eventually need replacement)

^ so their eco-drive movement uses a special kind of battery? [emoji367]

I’m disappointed with EcoDrive movement. Mine just wouldn’t keep a charge anymore. That kelot me from buying the Nighthawk or SkyHawk as it might suffer the same fate as my EcoDrive watch.

Have you tried getting your watch serviced?

When it was first introduced, maybe. But I think other watches like Seikos have their own solar battery.

i revived mine (non-citizen) by putting the watch beside my three-bulb led bedroom lampshade, overnight.
it was good as new the next day.

I will try that, doc. Maybe it will regain enough charge to be back in full operation. Thanks.

good luck.
it was actually the seiko serviceman's recommendation, when i brought in my ailing watch for repair.

this design has always been, to me, the epitome of manhood.
looks good under a suit, a barong, or just about any shirt.
