Do you think Bazza will tell you? It's more about confounding recalcitrant watch eyewiggers, I'd say.How do you read the time?

Sure, if it's all about function, in which case the divers, flieger or military watches are the choice. But this is a bit of jewellery, a pretty gadget for your wrist. I think it's great, even if I wouldn't want one to wear every day. I'm your Alpinist kind of guy, you see, outdoory rufty tufty type, need a watch that looks the part.Good point. You should be able to quickly glance at a wristwatch to tell the time, much quicker than fumbling with a phone.(IUnless you're one of those saddos who keep it in their hand 24 hrs a day).

Hi Bazza, ok I reset around this time on 28th and checked it was fully wound and have worn only the Mido for 5 days about 16 hours a day every day and sat it with crown up whenever taken off. I’m down 18s after 5 days so I don’t think I’ve seen a difference.Hi Paul being its just -2 I really wouldn't bother
There are 2 screws on the balance wheel which are used to adjust the time keeping
Sometime to try is if you don't wear your watch when you sleeping try leaving with the crown pointing up over
night as that should speed the watch up a little , give it a go and let me know how you get on
Bonkers and I like it. Is this picture supposedly taken somewhere in Southern Ocean south of Madagascar? Hate to nitpick but it sort of bothers me that the “compass” doesn’t point N-S but at the time.

edit. Assuming you’re not also on a sailboat I now see the viewpoint does not move. Opportunity lost ;-). I wonder why that particular viewpoint was chosen.

I’ve just bought this. Is it the ‘perfect everyday watch’ like some of the reviews say? I don’t know, but it’s very wearable, nicely detailed and hopefully not too showy-offy. Maybe it’s about to be discontinued, with the arrival of the brightly coloured versions?
I also have this one, a Railmaster but really an Aqua Terra; it even says Aqua Terra on the back. It’s an 8204.52.37 36.2mm, which is apparently really hard to find, though I wasn’t aware of that when I bought it last year. I was a tad concerned that they were a bit too similar, but they are sufficiently different I think.I had an older Aqua Terra with plain black face (without the horizontal lines) but stupidly sold it and regret it to this day. Second hand prices have gone up over 1k since ...
