I just cut a pasted, lock stock and smoking barrel
if you want to find it do a search under my name and the word "brilliant"
uncomfotable with the effort but not being a racist - nice

Not trying to flog the 'cheap watch' argument but my pulsar kinetic thing is incredibly accurate
Omega not too bad,Longines seems ok so far
I thought all autos weren't brilliant timekeepers?

That's even worse then, you don't even know why you included the quotes.

I am pretty white and pretty middle class -- and hence I have the luxury of viewing your posts with a mixture of feint amusement, bewilderment and genuine sadness and pathos
You have obviously had a tough damaged childhood
But if I was black, brown (and any colour in between) or a Muslim – I would have outed you as a racist cvnt a while ago.

I have an Accurist worldtime, (Citizen navtimer) by any other name,
Watch was advertised as a rugged sailing, flying, sporting watch...
except it couldn't handle a drop of 24 inches onto a wooden floor..
(Byebye lcd windows)... contacted Accurist who wanted .....£150 odd for a new mechanism - lcd unit....
The whole watch only cost £200!!!
suffice to say its sitting in a drawer with a dark lcd

It has been very hardwearing because it has been in all sorts of action etc but the time keeping which is why I buy a watch has been slightly poor .Although it does look very nice even now after all this time .

Out of interst, have you tried manually winding it to maximize its reserves?
From what I can gather, its worth manually winding them up to the max to get the mechanism at its best and then let the auto keep it topped up. Worth a thought.

Most auto watches can be wound manually..
Pull out the crown to position one and wind as normal. Lockable crowns sometimes just need to be in the unlocked position to wind.
Depends on watch,model and movement...
You cant overwind an auto movement so dont be scared of trying to wind it. The mainspring is wound by the central arbor,but its not rigidly attached to the outer barrel.There is a clutch/detent on the barrel to let the mainspring "slip" if an overwind is attempted.
