Website updates
While wrapping up the Watch Case update for iOS and macOS, I decided to redo the landing page as well. It is simple but you can take a look at all the features of the new Watch Case.
Dressy Seiko 5 Actus
A few weeks ago I was able to find an old Seiko 5 Actus from May 1976. In general, buying watches on eBay can be tricky and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for their first watch or just starting with their new collection. However, if you’re patient and know what to look for,… Continue reading Dressy Seiko 5 Actus

Watch Case- what’s next?
I’ve been thinking about what comes next for the app. The May (2019.5) release was really big and time consuming. It opened new possibilities for a few extra features and improvements.

I got the Seiko Spirit SCVE005 in September 2017. Now, more than a year later, I’m still not sure how I feel about the purchase. There are a few details about this piece I really love and appreciate, like its Bauhaus design, the dark-blue accent or a beautiful, silver dial. On the other hand, it… Continue reading Seiko Spirit SCVE005
A turquoise Poljot from the 80’s
I got this watch with the idea of opening it and taking a look at the movement. That will happen in a few weeks once I have my watch tools with me, but for now, I just did a quick photoshoot. I wish I knew how to find out the year the watch was made.… Continue reading A turquoise Poljot from the 80’s
That crystal had a rough life
Once I took the watch apart, I couldn’t help myself but to work on the crystal. I did some research and find out that the Seiko branded Hardlex Crystal is somewhere around 7 on the hardness scale from 0 to 10. I also find out that it is possible to remove scratches with a few… Continue reading That crystal had a rough life
