It probably needs a battery change

Edit : a bit of polywatch won't hurt but keep the patina

You should know it by now 😏

It's kinda generic, without colorful straps, the real Cartier Crash, the Wyler, the Seiko and the Zodiac.

Give them to me. You have no choice

On a strap, a 1951 Omega Seamaster.

Otherwise, a 1920-ish Jaeger pocket Chronograph (not working well tbh)

Imo keep them, they give a lot of character to the watch without looking too beat up. It's beautiful

Thanks ! it's a personal favorite as well.

I think those complaints come from the early models when the brand made a comeback in 2018. Some had a Sellita movement instead of an ETA 2824-2 (but they're really good as well) and the fact that the hands and dials had different lume. Couldn't be spotted in the sun but once dark, the hands would glow blue instead of green. This issue was quickly solved with the brand calling back all the models to change the hands.

I'm lucky enough to have bought second hand a model with new hands, an ETA movement and a sapphire crystal.

No issues for now. It will be serviced for the first time in about 2 years and is keeping accurate time (though it tends to lose a few seconds too quickly to my taste, so this might be part of the quality control issues you heard as well).

I take it for a swim when I'm at the sea (great use of a 300 meters water resistant professional diver if you ask me πŸ₯²)

A nice textured GS with power reserve

Nice watch ! Would advise to keep the velcro strap (it's just great)

From my understanding, it's not a great watch (no offense there, it just seems so get scratches easily and be hard to repair as you can only access the battery) but it looks really good and I hesitated to get a mission to Mars.

If you don't have the money it's the closest you'll get to a real Speedmaster, one of the most iconic watches out there, so enjoy !
