Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: another hard decision I don't know sy, I know you said it was worth having it tuned, but I wore it most of the day yesterday, 10 minutes fast, and this morning it had stopped running. I think they can tune it to keep better time. I am at a point where it needs to be done. It is off by at least five minutes after a couple days and more than 10 in three. At least it is fast and not behind. But it never had a good reserve and I do not wear it every day all day. Even if they tune it, it will never keep good time unless I wear it all day every day. This is a tough one as I do like it and I like it better than my other dress option. https://i.imgur.com/qGz4yJK.jpg Might be time to retire it... I seem to recall a similar discussion when you mentioned getting a winder. I'm not a fan of them BTW. Automatics do need to be run every so often to keep the lube distributed, but running them when you aren't wearing them just decreases the service interval at the very least. I am not personally too inconvenienced by winding and setting a watch - part of the experience actually, where you're actually handling it and looking at it closer than normally etc.. I do typically wear one for at least a week if I go to the trouble and to me that one would wear fine both for dress and casual so I don't see why not wear it longer than part of a day. I really don't get "Even if they tune it, it will never keep good time unless I wear it all day every day." After a proper full service it should run and keep time as good as new if you find someone good to do it whether wound by the stem or by your wrist shaking.. I'm kind of assuming you can actually wind it with the stem (not always the case) for convenience though, but otherwise just shake your wrist for 30sec. when you put it on. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sledhead907: I've had the new Neon for a day and have a few [initial] observations. First, the action. The detent is strong and it doesn't tolerate any pressure on the lock bar when it's being flipped. However, it snaps open quickly because of the strong detent and locks up pretty early at 15%. There's no lock-stick and no slippage regardless of the early lock-up. The finish is naked tumbled Ti and looks fantastic. I like anodization and colored carbon, but there's something ascetically pleasing about plain Ti. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/72631/25D1B350-32C8-4987-9308-2ADAAE0CF2E8-2153137.jpg As expected, the blade was sharp out of the box and has a shape similar to the F3 and 111...only smaller. Which, brings me to my next point; the knife is small. It's thin and light due to its internal milling. As such, it disappears into a pocket or IWB in dress attire. Regardless, I can fit all 4-fingers onto the handle, which is comfortable and devoid of any hotspot caused by the clip. The jimping on the blade is also inline with the current F3 and 111. The MRBS is smooth and drops-shut. There's really nothing I dislike in the knife. Astetically, I suppose they could’ve cut the lock relief internally(?). But, there's probably a reason why they don't. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/72631/44F0E69F-C75D-49B0-8B83-6BE669B57F61-2153138.jpg •excuse the white balance - too lazy to fix• Nice write up, I have to agree on every point. It is the most finicky when it comes to lockbat pressure of my Shiros but that detent is dialed in It is also a great size for carry, lots of blade for the size and weight. Mine even weighs less

I am always on the run, always doing something, don't have time to stop and babysit something that should just work. If it doesn't just work, it is failing of its essential purpose. Sounds like we have different wear patterns. I wear my dress watch to work and that is it. I used to wear it all the time for everything, but I really like my Casio diver with nato straps. That means the Gevril gets about 8-10 hours of wear five days a week, maybe a bit less. Then it sits over the weekend. So I am having to reset it weekly at least if the time change doesn't piss me off too bad before then (it usually does by Wednesday). Even if it gets tuned up, that will not change the reserve. This thing has no reserve. That is why it will never keep good time unless I wear it all day every day. Even at its best, I was getting maybe 18 hours of reserve time after regular wear. And yes it winds by the stem. It has a screw down crown so you have to take the watch off, unscrew the crown, wind it, screw it back down, put it back on. It's a pain in the ass having to do it on the reg. I am tempted to get a new watch just for the better reserve. I may end up with a Damasko diver next time I am in Regensburg. Until then, I really like my solar watches, just wish I had a better dress one. |

You could always just masturbate furiously with that hand before you take it off for the day though, should get it in shape without having to go to all that trouble to unscrew the crown and wind for 10 seconds. Just messing around - I do get irritated with a watch that loses more than 1 minute in a week and I don't expect them to run out on me if I just set them down for the night (but I don't, need to know the time if I get up for the bathroom or early morning dozing). If it isn't keeping good time, it may be running inefficiently and/or not winding well, so a service might help the reserve. Technically, I'm sure it has enough reserve, you just aren't winding it up enough in an office setting due to its current state of performance. Are you sure it wasn't just that the performance loss was incremental and now you don't remember how well it worked originally? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: I dunno. It seemed like some of them there knew him, not all positive. Maybe there was some defending of their own. What got to me was that the group generally was advocating open ended deals with no good faith dealing. I realize I am an old man by this point and maybe the kids these days are dealing fast and loose, but without good faith dealing, no one will want to work with you because you burned too many doing that. Yet that is what these people were doing. In a group selling and trading mid priced collectible knives. It just didn't strike me as a sustainable practice. Sure, maybe in FB marketplace where people come and go and you have no relation to anyone else, but these knive groups tend to get a feel for each other. They aren't all like KTSF with 60k+ members (even then I feel like people generally know about many others in the group). It's not like there is a feedback system like BF or reddit or Arf to broadcast how you act. All you have is your word. And they were mostly advocating for shitty dealing. So odd. Yeah, I've seen where people ask for vouches from other members that have done business with them but there's not really a way to track it. |

At the old firm I would wear it all day running around the office, come home walk the dog 5 miles, mow the lawn, clean up and it would still be dead in 18 hours if I didn't put it on right away in the morning the next day. I believe it is an early to mid 90s ETA 2824-2. Not sure on the level, but possibly as good as a chrono. In any event. I have lived with it long enough to recognize it's limitations. The reserve won't be improving even with a tune up. When it is tuned up, the change in time is negligible. Seconds a day, maybe. It isn't an issue. Usually there was no noticeable difference. So the five minutes a day now is rather irksome. It always kept time impeccably when wound, but the reserve was always short too. |
