Chez 2 Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) https://postimg.cc/gallery/128kh5jri/ I've just received my first ever rep. It's a submariner from Narikaa or "Regmariner" and I have to say it's a quality item for the £125 I paid for it. It looks and feels like the real deal and I've been complimented on it constantly since I started wearing it a couple of days ago. From the first email I sent to Reg enquiring about stock availability to having the watch on my wrist took 8 days which is impressive to say the least (Thailand to Belfast) I've tried to attach some pictures via the attached link (I'm a technophobe) so hopefully you can see them. The watch loses approx 5 mins in 24 hrs. Is this to be expected from a rep in this price range or should I contact the TD? (Reg) I'm not that bothered tbh Edited December 8, 2018 by Chez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted December 8, 2018 Hi and welcome ! 5min per day is a bit much, could use a little regulating job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RX951 18 Posted December 8, 2018 Very nice watch. I've had a few Regmariners and they have all been great watches. Nice bang for the buck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,284 Posted December 8, 2018 Google 'how to regulate a watch' or similar and find videos online. It's easy to get the watch to within a few seconds per day. That's miles out!!!! I've never had a watch run that badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ape 2 Posted December 8, 2018 I made a similar post 2 months ago. God help you, all I do is look at this forum and TD sites. This is a great forum and a lot of fun. Reps aren’t perfect, I’m sure you can get the accuracy dialed in with a bit of work. Welcome to the monkey house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,284 Posted December 8, 2018 Lol. I'm feeling quite cocky in regulating terms at the minute. My ARF Explorer was running about 45 seconds fast per day. As I haven't got a timegrapher, I had to just tweak the regulator arm thingy everyday until I got it right. It took me about 8 days of frequent tweaking, but now it's running pretty much bang on. +/- about half a sec a day I think. BOOM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FoxWilde 155 Posted December 8, 2018 I prefer my watches under +/-10 sec a day but whatever floats your boat mate Fox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Reg) I'm not that bothered tbh Congrats on your first rep. Losing 5min per day is TOO much. First you should fully wind the watch (about 35 turn of the crown). Wear it a couple more days. If it is still run slow, then you need to regulate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorFan 482 Posted December 8, 2018 Open the back of your watch and look for the red jewel with the wheel spinning underneath it, there are two levers sticking out of the collar around the jewel. Leave the outside one alone, move the inside one precisely .0001 micron towards the center of the movement - Fixed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chez 2 Posted December 9, 2018 Thanks for all the feedback chaps. I've got an old ball pein hammer and a couple of my grandads Whitworth spanners in the shed so I'll give this regulating thingy a bash........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanRep 0 Posted December 23, 2018 How did the regulation go? I've got a spectre that is 35 sec or so off and I was thinking of self regulating myself. Curious how another newbie faired! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
