Blue Monster SRP461
Re: Blue Monster SRP461
Need some advises:
All along I been wearing watches with NATO strap. Now that I got this SRP461K, I been pondering, should I put a NATO to it? But the fact that the SS bracelet strap is the differentiating point between SRP455 and SRP461 makes me think twice.
What you guys think?

Re: Blue Monster SRP461
Try not to hand wind regularly as it's additional wear and tear on the threads of the screw down crown?

Fine piece bro!!
Re: Blue Monster SRP461
Just checking, my SRP461 power dies off very fast.
I hand wound it (just kept turning, never count how many rounds. Scared to overwind it so i didnt wind too much) last night.
wore it this morning. By noon it stopped moving.
My 007 never had such problems. Hand movements still as per normal. What could be the reason?
My guess was because now im wearing it with the s/s bracelet strap, its more rigid hence lesser "swinging" during daily activities? My 007 was on a NATO strap so its lighter and can feel the "charging" when i move my hand a little

Re: Blue Monster SRP461
Your Monster should be equipped with the 4R36 movement which both winds manually and hacks. But how much is how much? If I am not using my Emperor I give it say 30 rounds + 10 second shake left to right. By next morning she's still running. I don't think the type of strap has got something to do with it.hogsforce wrote:Just checking, my SRP461 power dies off very fast.

But you mentioned you even wore her this morning and still she stopped by noon? I think you better make a stop at K2 have it looked at. Or if still under warranty go to Thong Sia.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Take MRT to Kallang. Exit gantry, turn left. Exit station, turn left. At the road junction turn left. Got bus stop can take the ff: 22, 26, 853, 961 and 985. Alight at 1st stop. Go to your left. Go across the road turn right. At junction turn left. 1st building you see you go in all the way back until you see a loading bay. Go up stairs, take freight lift to #06-03. Exit lift they are to your right.hogsforce wrote:Thanks for the replies. Will send it to thongsia on Monday.

Re: Blue Monster SRP461
If u want to exercise, you can walk. Walk past the bus stop that Andoy has described. At the t-junction turn left. Walk all the way down until you see a small sidegate. Enter it and you are at the building. You can then find the lift to take ypu to the 6th floor.Andoy wrote:Take MRT to Kallang. Exit gantry, turn left. Exit station, turn left.

Re: Blue Monster SRP461
Hey all
Just collected my watch, after it spent a week there.
The girl was telling me it was because the second hand "was too low" and "sticking to the minute-hand".
Any pros here can help me translate to layman's terms? Recap: my watch movement stopped even when wore on wrist on several occasions.

Re: Blue Monster SRP461
The hands are stacked on top of one another. So if it's not placed properly, example, in your case, the second hand was "low", I would say it's facing downwards, so as the second hand moves, it collides with the minute hand, so it can't tick any more.
