Random musings and general banter.

Might have just read it out, as he just said it’s a Japanese movement according to a text come in. Japanese movement stamped on the back might have been a bit of a clueand if you know your movements (they seem to claim to know their watches and are collectors) just look at it, NH72 very distinctive over the Swiss movements.

Text came from Tony.

Jessie says, "absolutely right, it's Swiss made with a Japanese movement."

Even when correcting an error he still makes an error. It's NOT Swiss made.

They had Reign watches on, Reign Elijah, according to Reign it has an Seiko NH35 in it.

Don't look like an NH35 to me, looks like some cheap Chinese knockoff.

I love the way this forum goes off at a tangent. I’ve lost count of the different topics that have been discussed. Also love the humour.

Agreed. It’s odd….But the much more watched QVC forum is nothing like this one. I always thought they’ve missed out by not having a similar thread like this and only focusing on specifics thread wise.

Yeah usually, but on add occasions can have a customised rotors from the brand where it will still have jewel count but no mention of NH35 or Seiko, but it doesn't really matter whether it says or not plenty of ways to quickly tell if that movement in the Reign is a NH35 or not.
The movement in the reign, is only 22 jewel against 24 jewel NH35a, looks more like a Chinese 2813 movement.

Instead of faking texts from him, they could use Hammy seriously and genuinely as a watch expert. I have learnt so much about watches from him, the Professor, and other occasional contributors over my time on here. Such great knowledge, and so willingly passed on.
