Oysterquartz pick-up and great work from Rik Dietel/Timecare

Great stuff! Who needs a Land Dweller! That’s much nicer IMO

Nice. I heard somewhere they make that in an automatic. The something dweller?

Just checked mine and it is 4 seconds fast after about 3 months.

I got my 1977 OQ serviced at the Hong Kong RSC in 2014 for about $375, which was also about the going rate for mechanicals back then. They didn't demand any replacements but wouldn't even lightly refinish the case or bracelet, as they said both have a low tolerance for loss of metal without compromising their shape. I suspect this will be an issue with the Land-Dweller cases also. This pic was taken right after service . . .

Curios what is the thickness of your watch?

12.58mm. I hate thick watches. And being only 36mm that 12.58mm seems even more excessive. But I don't know, somehow it just works and I love the fit.

Mine is a 1987, so where is the cut-off from early to later?
