Pianegonda Sterling Silver Massive Automatic Man's watch


This is a solid Silver massive man's Auto watch. Silver has its style, a classic British Gentleman look. But I am afraid thta if your sweat is Alkaline, the silver will be tarnish very soon, then you have to use a "Silbo" cloth to clean it once...

Rolex Oyster Magic Continues!



.


When we are 20's, we can use Explorer II
When we are 30's we might consider GMT Master II,
When we re 40's, we can wear Osyter date Just stainless steel or an Daytona
When we are 50's, I think that will be the FlagShip of Rolex : A Gold Oyster Day Date!
The Yellow Gold Day Date was produced by Swiss Rolex Craftman in the year 1984, the first owner was a Japanese. And this is Rarely being used at all. Like New.

Minute Repeater for Citizen

Citizen Minute Repeater

This is Longines VHP calibre


This is a quartz Watch, from Citizen, it was produces in About 1992. The first Repeater made by Citizen. It is a very Accurate quartz watch, perpetual Calandar, Minute Pepeater is the key selling point, Beleived to have Limited production as it was expensive.. I means in terms of Citizen normal price tag.


People laughs at me saying all quartz watch tell the same time, I am trying to say that all quartz watch are not same, as the accuracy of a quartz watch is muchly depends on the quartz vibration frequency itself, normally they are electronically tested and selected for different grades. For example a quartz with 15 ppm (15 ppm means that their toleraenace is 15 parts per million) will have about +/- 1 second a day. (1 second/3600 seconds x24 hours= 1/86,400= 11.57 ppm). However the quartz has certain drift over change of temperature, so there are type of negative quatz that are being used as to counter-zero the temperature changes positively.

Longinese has produces the VHP series using dual quartz concept made for better accuracy.

In 1984 - Longines introduced the very first VHP: Longines Conquest VHP (VHP = Very High Precision) with the famous dual-oscillator Cal.276.2 movement (jointly developed by Longines and AsuLab). That movement used digital thermocompensation (inhibition) and was rated for +/-10 seconds/year. It had lithium battery. This very first VHP movement did not have digital calibration terminal!

Can your quartz tell time at an accuracy of 0.33 second a month!?

The Citizen Repeater is on Sales! HKD$3,800.00
