Who uses an automatic self winding watch?

[High-Gear]

Nice watch

When its a Rolex, its not a watch...its a TIMEPIECE!


I have a Datejust for dressing up, and a Seadweller for every day and diving. Its a tank! Both heavy and tough as nails!

After using what I thought was a dive watch that in reality was a dive style watch, which flooded. I researched watches and decided on a St Moritz Aquamatic. I was curious how many on here used an automatic watch and what concerns there are in the routine maintenance and what I should avoid while wearing the watch. I know I have to wear it everyday or at least wind it a few times a week and that it won't be exactly accurate but close enough. I really like the idea of an automatic and may even buy a Seiko one as well to switch between.

I've used the Citizen NH6931-06E 1000 Meter Professional Diver Automatic for about five years now. Phenomenal watch!

After hundreds of dives, I've never had a single problem with it. Built like a battleship, but very large, thick, and pricey.

I collect watches (yes, another inexpensive hobby like scuba and golf!) and have a number of automatic dive watches. In my opinion the most underrated dive watch on the market is the Seiko Monster (I have a very collectible Orange Monster and an even more collectible Night Monster). I've done all my dives to date with the Orange Monster and a Suunto Gekko.

Cheers!

I just bought an Omega Seamaster 300m Chrono diver, and a Rolex Seadweller. Both are automatic watches, and I'm horrible about remembering to wind the one I'm not using. I also hate resetting them after they run out.

If you've ever looked at watch winders, you know how ridiculously expensive they are. After searching/reading reviews around the net, I bought the following:

I've been very happy with the winder. It's quite quiet, well made, and pretty to boot. I have nothing to do with this company. Just my opinion.

You've spent nearly $10,000 on the watches and you worry about the watch winder being expensive?

Anyway, the watch winder that you've got is a pretty nice unit. I have two of the quad versions.

I know, I know....It's not anywhere near being logical.

I use the Seiko Orange Monster with a Maratac band as my daily and as my dive watch.
The accuracy isn't very good but I do check it on a regular basis to keep it on time.

Citizen Promaster, never take it off, 200+ dives a year, bulletproof.

I've used a Seiko self winding Diving watch since I bought it on Bougainville in 1972, it has never failed and still keeps going. It's machined from a solid block of SS but these days it's getting difficult to get parts for it, probably needs a set of "O" rings now but I cant find them. Ah well, it's been good for a long time so I cant really complain too much.
