·Last month my Eterna Kontiki super IDF had a winding issue after service. The crown slipped every so often when hand winded. the watchmaker gave up on it and gave me a refund. So talked to Jack at IWW who I knew worked on these he said sounded like the crown had to buy a used crown off eBay for 100 bucks. So had to send it in the mail like doing local stuff don't get lost that way. So, I saw this remake Benrus Ultra Deep and was thinking maybe a modern watch with a vintage vibe so I can wear the vintage stuff once in a while less wear and tear and these vintage watches we collect are not cheap anymore and watchmakers and parts are getting tougher to find. So I kept going back looking at the Ultra Deep at the Benrus website then they have a sale going on now 20% off that's 200 off so pulled the trigger. Same case size at the vintage one, dome acrylic crystal with date window has a soprod P024 25 jewel hacking automatic movement a few more jewels than the original that had 17 jewels. The case is different has a screw down crown. It does take the vintage itch away when I wear it.
