My thread on Watchuseek

Watchuseek... the Worst Watch Forum... In The World

Watchuseek now controlled by the incompetent Canadian outfit Vertical Scope is hereby officially the crappiest watch- (and any hobby-) forum... In The World.

Constant scams and possible scam threat notifications.

New members are denied basic rights like posting links and pictures.

Locked me out of my Bernie-period account, they probably deleted everything during a massive security scare they had some years ago - deleted the email address I used to login, changed my password, can't login to my old account, although my posts of some 4 years ago are still there.

Contacted the admin twice over this - got no reply at all.

The forum and the website in general are very slow to load, buggy and could well be compromised by scammers spreading viruses and what not.

In a word, it's a stinking mess.

Better not go there at all. If you do, remember you do it at your own risk.

Watchuseek is whatchucrap!

ETA: April 17, 2019

Actually, scratch that, I think Watchuseek has been gradually improving recently.
I can even now access it on my iPhone - something I couldn't meaningfully do not so long ago.
Still it's a huge forum and site with lots of ongoing issues, performance wise.

SMH - A watch that's been everywhere, man

On a traveling watch... sent around the country for people to wear it and photograph it.



A watch that's been everywhere, man  

Nothing new though. In fact it's pretty old by now. Over on Watchuseek they've been doing it for years (maybe), definitely on the Russian and Affordable watch sub-forums.

For example - The Traveling Vostok, who wants it?

WUS Thread: New Arrival: Camel Chronograph 3133

New arrival: Camel chronograph 3133.

WatchUseek thread - a Camel 3133 chronograph ca. 1993 bought! Congrats to emoscambio!

Actually I mentioned the Camel Trophy Poljot 3133 once before on this blog in my post on Curiosity 3133. 

My WUS Threads: Luch 2609

Luch 2609  - my thread on Watchuseek. EDIT DEC 30 2018. SCARFACE3133 IS ME AND TRYING TO GET PASSWORD NOW, THANK YOU.


The thread is about this watch -- Luch 2609 2001 / 2013.

The significance of the watch is in that it is powered by the caliber Luch 2609 -- the only movement designed, developed and put into production (albeit for a very short time) after the dissolution of the USSR.

Unfortunately it is not in production anymore and was made only for a brief time so never got any chance of further improvement and/or modernization. It is rare because so few of them were made, especially compared to the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of other Soviet movements.

A WUS forum thread.. what it says in the title... a Vostok Komandirskie instruction booklet in English, dating from the late 1980s, I think.

Choosing a G-Shock

An excellent and very useful WUS forum thread on choosing G-Shocks, especially for first-time buyers or collectors wishing to expand into Casio G-Shock collecting -- START HERE -- Choosing your G-Shock (link).

Lots of useful information:

Explanation of lettered prefixes - the most important, such as: DW, GW, G, as well as all the others. 

Classification by series: 2300, 5000 (5600), 6900, 7000, 8900 and

Master of G

And the discontinued Masters of G.

Very handy... for me too as I am thinking of buying my first G-Shock, I need to have at least one. at the moment leaning to something out of the 30th anniversary edition.
