For sure. I am amazed that there are people out there who know how to make something as intricate as a pocket watch work. Esp the ones who were doing it back in the early days.
Luckily for me I have a good pocket watch man who knows how to work on them.

MTM Black Falcon. Worn for about 6 years and been repaired by the factory once after a serious accident. It’s solid and worn well.

Still like the Parnis? Any negative feedback on it? Pretty accurate keeping time? Thanks.

Been wearing this 39mm ceramic bezel steinhardt mostly (over the squale and submariner). It’s proven tough, keeps good time, good reserve, and the solid end link, threaded 20-18mm taper bracelet is classy and well made. The only thing it’s missing is the divers extension, and the other two have that if go get wet. And it’s the cheaper of the three! Uses ETA 2824 movement. And the chrome rings around the lume (which is great btw) adds a nice classy touch. I have thought about trying to get the periscope off it, but I’m leery of doing it myself.
I do still love it. Even among the rest of my watches it gets a fair share of wrist time. I recently put it on a Hirsh calf leather strap for something a little less flashy. It's keeping about +10sec/day which is pretty impressive at this price point. I did bang it against a desk and had the bezel insert fall off, but a dab of glue and it's better than new.

Man, I love my Ocean 1 Bronze. Like you said they're tough, accurate, and a hell of a deal. I was seriously looking at a Tudor Heritage Bronze but I couldn't be more pleased with the German piece. It has some great lume too!

As much as I hate to admit it, ETA really got it right with the 28xx series of movements. From a watchmaking perspective they're about as exciting as a Glock 17, but the damn things are virtually indestructible.
Almost 25 years ago I cut my teeth as a watchmaker on 2824's. Got out of that business a long time ago, but I can still close my eyes and see the automatic winding mechanism's inner workings.

I like that bronze. Tudor now uses in house movements I think. But those are a bit large for me. My skinny wrists can’t support much more than 39mm else it looks like a wrist clock. That’s slick. Makes me consider a band for mine.
I agree. I like them. I have three with that movement (last is tissot lelocle). My buddy is a watchmaker and does my stuff for me. I need to get my submariner serviced and mainspring replaced (i think, only holds about 20 hrs), but even with connection it can still be spendy. The ETA’s ain’t so.
