What watch do you wear?

Same as yesterday, newly landed from a fellow BF member. Digging it! 😎 Aragon Divemaster IV 50mm Muonionalusta Meteorite dial with dark gray IP case and bracelet. Ceramic bezel with blue lume, NH35 automatic movement, limited edition of 150.

Had this Amphibian for several years, and at one time had an aftermarket Pepsi ceramic bezel for a while.

I put the stock one back on, as it matches a bit better.

It has been ok for the most part, and has some neat features.

Two things I don't like:

The bezel has a thin lip, and has caught on things and popped off. Luckily I found it both times.

The other thing, is it is a pain to set the date.

I have also noted, that the internal winder is not super effective. I have to wind it more often than other automatics.

But hey, for about a hundred bucks, it's pretty cool having in the rotation.

maybe ya know maybe ya dont...if ya wind past midnight date flips. then backward wind to around 8:30 range....the date resets...then wind towards midnight and it flips again. much easier and faster. do over.snd over until ya get where it needs to be. this movement is built to do this without any damage to it.

Thanks JB, and yup you are correct.

I just get impatient hahaha!

I also wanted to mention, that when I got the Vostok, I knew basically zero about automatics.

I wound that puppy up so tight it almost could not turn anymore!

Oops!

🤣
 
Simple, reliable, affordable; my only real complaint with the resin-cased Bertucci DX3 is the 50M water resistance. The steel-cased models have 100M resistance, which I find more appropriate for swimming. If they made an uncomplicated titanium watch with this face, I'd be all over it.

I have one of those in titanium...when the battery died, I tossed it in a drawer.....it's dial isnt complicated. looks like yours basically, but black dial instead of white.

it was an okay watch. mineral crystal was recessed below the fixed bezel so was fairly scratch proof. I'll dig it out one of these days and change the battery and put back into rotation.
