    most the time the slight diff is the setting error of the person setting them . I tend to set the time a minute ahead then put it on the seconds and keep it zero till it matches what I am setting it by then as the time click over to say 11.00 I hit the clear on the seconds so should match up spot on them ..

    sound more complicated then is ...

    this one looks interesting as a cheap tat lot they want £13 but think worth a fiver or so as it has a AQ-321 in it.

    Casio And Similar Watch Bundle Spares Repairs Job Lot Parts | eBay

    I got one of those working but the back ruin on it not sure how some one could have bust up the back so bad on my one it is a pop on and off back by four clips two top two bottom .. but it so twisted out of shape strange as the rest of the case is near mint

    yeah could understand if it was a hidden screwback or tight fit or something but it's the most easy to open watch back their is will do a pic .. might try and fix it but ant got an idea how small headed hammer and some form of block maybe ..

    so just for fun think going to do ismy joblot picks when bored will check the bays for probably decent tat lots .

    so one I saw ..joblot watches spares or repair seiko bulova casio and more | eBay

    now a lot of tat but their are several decent looking bulova. a lot of charity shop gifts in their (stick a battery in them then gift to the charity shop) but their is casio gold in their if ( I had at one time wanted to try and have own every affordable casio out their) you want cheap fun watches.

    so my eye spots .

    Casio wave ceptor WVA-430J-1A - good chance just needs a window and some sun... the solar some time just run down shove in a draw or wherever .

    Casio WVA-107HA-1AV- looking to be working but on the dial you have a mark some time you get the hands left in one position to long and it discolour under it but yeah would need a look. so poss issues.

    various bulova so yeah would buy for the casio rest fix and flip/gift . probs max £30 bid would have been my choice hoping fore under twenty .. (that was when use to do it so been six months or more so be fun to see how the pricing will change or not )

    Been a bit busy and haven’t managed to check the difference in my Casio’s for a bit…but I had set the hourly chime…now they’ve gone out of sync I hear a delightfully elongated beep beep beep beep

    For work today im sporting my old Seiko




    And further….
    Managed to take another shot of my Casio’s….
    They’ve gone all over the place



    Ismy, you’re putting me in the mood to look at job lots! (That’s how I ended up with the Casio diver!….do you still have that?)

    the two crown one ? no it got damaged from memory and when saw the prices of the good ones I flip it hoping a damaged one might do ok and think it did vaguely remember the guy saying that he had one with the right crystal and a better bezel / case con. so was looking to do a swap out . shame as was decent one that has become a bit of a collector's piece if in original con .

    strange about the casios never noticed wonder if near a mag source ?

    well I got some G could flog ya cheap as duplicates of what I got just tad more worn version's plus some others . even a baby g for the missus too . could do a joblot ?
