Multifunction Timegrapher MTG 1000 - regulate your automatic watch.

Automatic watches need to be regulated, or adjusted if you like,  at certain intervals. This can be done in a painstaking fashion by trial and error or with great ease using a device such as the MTG1000. This will "listen" to the beat of the watch through a microphone and analyse whether your watch is spot on or requires adjustment. Automatic movements - even relatively inexpensive ones such as the 7S26 can be regulated to remarkable accuracy. Importantly this machine allows the postion of the watch to be changed into six different places to allow overall accuracy to be determined. Qualitytime are now offering a service to regulate your watch for you or you can purchase the MTG1000 yourself. Whether you are a professional or serious hobbyist you will find it invaluable  to get accurate results with your movement. Watch regulation costs £29.99. We are selling the unit for £299 - it retails for £450 to £550 so represents superb value.

What's in a watch band / strap?

If you have an old Seiko or Citizen diver knocking around why not consider giving it a bit of a makeover with a new strap. As your strap ages it will become subject to scratches, marks and swirls - usually, we must admit, nothing to do with diving. Changing the strap renews the overall look of the watch and can make a dramatic difference to its aesthetics. Divers can look great on Nato bands, leather straps as well as stainless steel bracelets. Qualitytime.org.uk now stocks a huge range of different straps - simply let us know what it is you want by mailing contact@qualitytime.org.uk

All our range are original straps - don't even think of getting an aftermarket band, the quality is terrible and you will find your cherished timepiece flying off your wrist as it breaks!

The Seiko Velatura SRH005P1

Seiko Velatura Mens Watch

Once again, Seiko have surpassed themselves with this top of the range Velatura. It has Seiko's innovative Direct Drive technology. This shows real time build up of power and will allow the build up of a month's power reserve. Yet we have come to expect engineering excellence and movement accuracy from Seiko - it is the superb looks of this watch that are once again a revelation. It is beautiful!

Readers of the blog know that I don't just sell Seiko watches I wear them as well. Unfortuately I have crossed that line that means that I am officially watch obsessed. I realised this when talking to a customer, Paul, about the purchase of this watch - the Seiko SRH005P1. I have six Seiko watches yet this particular beauty is simply too good looking to avoid any longer - I have to have one myself...

Currently qualitytime do not have any stock but we are happy to recommend Amazon, who sell this watch and are a superb retailer - fully complying with distance selling regulations. Click on the link below to buy:
