If you’re too far from an atomic clock signal, then you set the watch and it keeps great time. It just doesn’t set itself.

Yes, the literal meaning of Tsuku-Yomi is “the moon reader”/“the calendar teller”. He is the symbol of the moon😊 Citizen’s Attesa line is a premium sub-brand that offers higher quality watches than the basic lines. Some advanced technologies are also limited to Attesa line such as this Lura Program or Satellite Wave GPS. Unfortunately Citizen limits Attesa line exclusively in Japan, then they put these advanced technologies and Attesa design in basic lines when selling oversees. These oversee models don’t carry “Attesa” name on them and have lower qualities and less refined designs but cheaper. This is a confusing approach, also hurts Attesa and Citizen’s branding power in my opinion. So when people see JDM Attesa watch reviews, many often say how these watches are overpriced bc the basic lines imitating Attesa designs have made people can’t tell the differences.
@MikeyTown136 күн бұрын
That is definitely confusing. We have some Atessa models in the U.S. and I figured the price premium came from materials or limited editions, but was never really sure. Thanks for laying this out!

I bought this as some cheap fun to chop and change my box of straps. Like a lot of people I have an abundance of 20mm straps (mostly unworn) that I've bought for a specific watch then never used, or used for a bit then went back to the OEM strap or bracelet. I wanted to give that box of straps a purpose. This thing is a strap monster. The orange rubber strap I can confirm is outstanding, so comfortable and flexible. I've had this on various rubber straps, black, grey, yellow. Also had it on green suede, black leather, various blue straps from light blue right through to navy, different variations of brown - it works with everything. Even stuck it on a burgundy Erika's original and thought this would never work and it does. Somehow that mix of yellow/cream dial, the orange and yellow hands plus the black ties it in with absolutely anything. There's always some detail or colour on the dial to make any strap look like it is meant for it.

In the UK: "The MSF radio signal is a dedicated standard-frequency and time broadcast that provides an accurate and reliable source of UK civil time. It is available 24 hours a day across the whole of the UK and beyond. The signal operates on a frequency of 60 kHz and carries a time and date code that can be received and decoded by a wide range of readily-available radio-controlled clocks. The MSF signal is transmitted from Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria by Babcock International, under contract to NPL. The signal covers the whole of the UK, and can also be received throughout most of northern and western Europe. It is monitored against the national time scale UTC(NPL) and corrected when necessary, ensuring that the transmitted time is always correct." So, six "atomic" radio signal sources.

It reminded me of the top time deuce from Breitling. A watch I definitely can't afford yet, but love. Ended up putting a Khaki strap that I got from Vaer on it.

The Casio AE1200WH, also widely known as the Casio Royale, has a modding community that has embraced this inexpensive copy of a Seiko G757, which was worn by Roger Moore in the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy and turned it into a bit of a subculture of it's own. I have a AE1200WH-1A that I've easily taken apart, scrubbed almost ALL that janky-looking lettering off except for the Casio name with 91% Isopropyl alcohol and a Q-Tip, then filled the case with silicone oil before reassembly and I replaced the band with a really nice blue leather with tan twine stitching, Ritche watchband I paid $20 for on Amazon. It's so cool! I get a LOT of compliments on it and it's actually a much more interesting conversation piece because of what it is, than the same common Rolex you see all the time that needs no introduction.

Yeah! The Casio Royale is a smart piece of time keeping. In all its standard Casio variants its great. But when its modded it becomes a next level watch. Watch snobs probably don't like it simply because it ain't valued at thousands of $/£/€ etc. I personally perfer the AE1300 which is virtually identical. My only criticism is that the lung width is 18mm. 20 mm would be better & I'm surprised SKX mods hasn't addressed that with Their metal cases , meaning an adapter is still required for a wider strap. 🍸 Cheers

Can anyone explain this: The Precisionist movement seems to be unique to Bulova. Grand Seiko is the only other watchmaker to produce a sweeping second hand with its even more precise Spring Drive. But, and here's my question, when it comes to AA battery powered wall clocks, sweeping second hands are ten-a-penny. I have several of them, most of them very cheap, all with that buttery smooth second hand. I *assume* Bulova has a patent on the tech for wristwatches, but it doesn't cover wall clocks? Any other explanation? It surely *can't* be that other watchmakers just can't be bothered to use this tech?! But every clock maker does (and brags about it in their listings). Or, is the wall clock sweeping second hand tech different to Bulova's? Any thoughts?
@MikeyTown13Ай бұрын
To my understanding, the tech is different. The Precisionist sweep appears so smooth because the second hand is beating 16 times/second. The Spring Drive movement has a completely different escapement and produces a true smooth sweep. It’s not beating… it’s sweeping. It’s also not battery powered like the Precisionist. I don’t know how the wall clocks work, but I made a clock a few years ago and used one of these movements in it. I think it was $11 on Amazon. 😂
@Willy_ElresАй бұрын
@@MikeyTown13 Cheers Mikey. I think you're right about the different tech: I've filmed my 262 KHz Bulova (a Sea King) using my phone's slo-mo, and can pretty clearly count the sixteen ticks per second. Filming a wall clock in slo-mo it looks to me to be more continuous, possibly totally fluid like a Spring Drive? Maybe the tech in those clocks can't be shrunk down to wristwatch size? Anyway, I love the Bulova movement so much that, after watching your video, I ordered a Jet Star; it's due to arrive this afternoon...
