I bought this watch in 2001. It was my very first "high end" watch. I still wear it regularly.

I've had the opportunity to upgrade it to a newer version, but have not had the heart to part with it. I hope to pass it on to one of my sons in due time.

I love the Submariners, and Seadweller, but they are slightly too small for my 8.5" wrists, so I ended up with a Ceramic Seadweller 4000, which is slightly bigger, and looks much better on my wrist.

I know. I've been using 42-44mm watches for the most part, and the 40mm SD feels a bit small, and my wrist is barely 7.5" I can't imagine what it will look like on such larger wrists.

 

Nice watch, giving it to "one" of your sons may cause problems!

 

I know. I think this one will go to my first born. I have a SuperOcean and a Speed Master for the other 2.

 

I just love Rolex the build quality & style. The 4000 is very nice but I have a small wrist so I wear all the time a Submariner.

 

Yes, the quality is simple fantastic. Of all my watches, the SD keeps the most accurate time. Love them.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
