Maybe old news since it is an old video: [retro swim]

I never liked that calculator watch and I still don't understand why it wears the DataBank name when it stores no data!

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find a DBC1500 , DBC3000, DBC 800, or any DBC with a stainless band, scheduler and the EL backlight. Does anyone have any excellent condition specimens for sale?

I've got a good lead on new old stock DBC600 but I don't love the idea of the micro bulb. Otherwise I like that model.

I don't know much about the micro bulbs to be honest..... is there any real downside to them aside from diminished battery life? What are some of your preferences regarding the EL backlight vs an old school micro bulb?

 

[LuckyStrike]

Disregard my above message. I've found a nice DBC-150 for a good deal.

Its funny there isn't more information online about micro bulbs in digital watches. There's hardly anything to be found out there.

Hi, all.

My DBX-102 has gone dead today, and I'm trying to know what battery type to buy without opening the case, in order to avoid 2 (two) open/close cyles, that might further damage the rubber ring alongside of the back of the case.

Does anyone know the battery type (I think it's a CR2016, but I'm not 100% sure).

Thank you for any input.

P.S.: According to this site (ww w.batterybob.com/products/148-maxell-cr1616-1-battery-bogo/), the CR1616 batteries are the ones to this watch, but I want further validation from you guys, if anyone knows

you can tell an original 610 vs a 610a by loiking at the the "Japan" stamps on the front and back. Even if an original 610 has a tag that says water resistant but does not have the "WR" marking on the front, it's not water resistant? I have attached a picture of one of mine.

Woops. Sorry..have a ricoh pic in there by mistake

Hoping someone can help me with setting a time zone on one of these watches. My elderly father in law has at least 4 DBC watches and the one he liked best was a black resin DBC-W150. I am suspicuious that the key pad no longer works or is in some locked mode. The time is correct for the currently set NYC time zone but he now lives in Chicago so it is off. This is what I have done:

Hold the adjust button until it switches from the day and date to "Rect on" with the "on" flashing
Press the light button twice and NYC flashes
That is where my success ends. If I push the minus sign under the CST label, nothing happens. As I push the light button I can scroll through the hour, minute, etc. but cant seem to change them.
By way of additional trouble shooting, when I use the mode button to go to calculator mode, the number pad does not seem to do anything. I never seem to have any trouble with my analog automatics but I'm trying to help my 90 year old father in law who would benefit from going back to a digital watch. I can buy something new but am trying to resurrect one of his watches in the drawer. Thanks.

Look for a missing little spring used to make a contact with the piezo speaker attached to the back.
If it's lost, you can replace it with one from a little cheap lug pin.

My first reaction was Depth, Baro, Compass triple sensor (as opposed to more common ABC), anyone else?

Hi,

I just would like to know the correct model number for the DBC-610 and DBC-611 with the polished chrome case. I only find the matt case everywhere. But I want the polished. ;-)

I'm about to get DBC 611 but i'm not sure if the bracelet will look fit nicely on my arm. Let me explain. From what i've seen in reviews, DBC 611 uses this bracelet that keeps it shape when bent. I have a 6,75'' wrist, and i think that while the bracelet would allow me to micro-adjust the proper length, it will roll around my wrist like a hoolahoop. It seems like the bracelet is keeping the perfect O-form and not snug to the wrist.
I checked the reviews on youtube but they rarely show the wrist shot properly, if ever. Can anybody elaborate on that please?

Weeeell I just got a dbc 63 micro cosmos edition with box and manuals, all papers in japanese. So far I love it but I freaked out when I replaced the battery as it took me a while to do the AC thing. Kinda scared to wear it too given its rarity nowadays so Ill keep rocking my f91 and get this one just for events and such lol
