Grandpa’s oyster date perpetual 1550

What do you think I should do with it? It seems to run fine but I haven’t manually wound it but it has wound automatically. It appears to have been made in 1979 and likely never serviced and that will probably cost a little too much for me right now. Some say you don’t really have to service it if it still works and others say not to run it until it’s serviced. I won’t polish the case but should I polish the acrylic crystal? I will be replacing all the spring bars because they’re in pretty bad shape.

Grandpa’s oyster date perpetual 1550

I’ve done a little research so I know the basics and the 79 on the bracelet makes me think it was made in 1979. What should I do to it? I want to get it serviced but it’ll probably cost a little too much for me right now. I won’t polish the case or bracelet but should I polish the acrylic? Some people say you don’t have to service it if it works which it does but I doubt it’s ever been serviced at all. I didn’t wind it but it wound itself when I moved it so I pulled the crown to stop it. The spring bars are pretty trashed so I’ll replace those. Any advice?

Which would you choose?

I’m trying to decide between an Englemaan Wraith and a Baltany pie pan. The Wraith is probably more practical for my purposes but idk when they will release more or how much they will cost. I also have plenty of dive watches but nothing quite like the pie pan.

Is this discontinued?

Somebody posted this early and I need one but I can’t find it anywhere. I’m assuming it’s either discontinued or not sold in the US?

I’m trying to see if this will fit a diver extension ratchet clasp. It says it’ll fit a flat link bracelet but I can’t seem to find what that is. The end is flat but the top is rounded.

Has anybody found a good holster for the Weltool W3 Pro tac? I would just use a pocket clip but I want to use a finger ring but I don’t like the clips on the thyrm switchbacks.

I need a compact thrower for work and the T1pro tac just isn’t enough. I had a W3pro tac and it was awesome but I sold it like an idiot. I was looking at the W2, T16B, W15, and another W3pro tac. I like the size of the W2 and the price of the T16B but the W15 is kinda in between. Should I go for one of the smaller ones or just go for broke and get the W3pro tac?

The dial is gorgeous and it has a Miyota 90S5, otf clasp, half links, sapphire, and quick release spring bars for under $200. It even comes with a nice leather case and I have only seen a couple posts about it which is crazy to me.

I’ve only had this Sandisk extreme pro for a few months and now I’m getting this message. What should I do?

I’m assuming it’s legitimately a San Martin clasp since they sell them in their official store but at over double the price. Anybody ever buy one from watchdives and have a quick review.
