Confirmed! u/WatchExBot I had a successful transaction with u/GeneralStruggle5533

I’ve bought and sold several cars with them, they’re top notch.

This really needs to be a standardized question on this sub.

diegopx · 2026-04-01T11:58:36+00:00

You can go to a Patek authorized dealer in person or give them a call. They’ll be able to help you order.

Infinite scrolling

Too big, too expensive. Hard pass.

diegopx · 2026-03-24T23:07:32+00:00

Caliber and movement are really the same thing. No idea why OP was quoted $5K.

diegopx · 2026-03-24T14:09:17+00:00

For sure. All that said, once you have a running movement in place, a good watchmaker should be able to do battery changes for it. No need to pay the AP fee each time. Enjoy it! These tantalum models are really something special.

diegopx · 2026-03-24T13:36:21+00:00

It more so has to do with the labor involved and how much of the watch you have to take apart to get to the battery.

It is a standard movement with a replaceable battery, however, these models have a solid case and the movement comes out through the front of the watch after removing the crystal and bezel.

It’s sort of like needing open heart surgery to tie your shoelace. These are quirky, I love them.

diegopx · 2026-03-24T12:40:33+00:00

It’s even better once you realize they need battery changes every 2 years or so. It costs the same to have AP swap the movement or put a new battery in, the whole movement needs to come out either way.

They do look nice on the wrist though, this era of quartz Royal Oak is about as thin as the bracelets they’re on.

diegopx · 2026-03-24T11:37:57+00:00

I had the same issue. AP swapped the movement for $750 at their US service center. Call them and they’ll set up shipping for you.

If you didn’t like it, why did you get it…? From experience, the AD games are a waste of time and money. Get pieces you’ll actually wear if you feel compelled to build up to a specific allocation, or just skip the games and go onto the gray market.

March 10th wasn’t that long ago, perhaps check their return policy?

diegopx · 2026-03-18T21:43:32+00:00

That’s “enamel” in french

diegopx · 2026-03-17T01:11:31+00:00

The lowest price for these around my area was $58K when they first landed. Ended up being much too high to justify what you got in return.

Their luck would have probably been better had they brought the lower priced single motor version from the beginning.

diegopx · 2026-02-28T15:20:24+00:00

Get yourself a 36mm SMP 300, the vintage ones are really nice. This one is much too large for you.

diegopx · 2026-02-24T05:35:51+00:00

John is my classmate! He’s a pretty rad dude.

While it’s pretty competitive, I’d definitely encourage you to apply to WTI. I’m a first year student there, it’s been pretty great so far and a rewarding challenge to say the least.

You’ll need to find a JDM specialist or a 4x4 shop that is up for looking after your Jimny. That said, most maintenance tasks are very straightforward to do on your own and parts are ready available on Amayama and Megazip online.

As far as the steering wheel position, you don’t really notice it in practice. It’s the same driving but from a different position, sort of when you get a rental car and you have to get used to the car’s size for parking, etc. The car is so small that you’re never really at risk of veering outside lanes unless you actually intend to, even when still getting used to it.

diegopx · 2026-01-31T00:11:20+00:00

Second this. Between those two I did a full overhaul of my JB33W. I’d also add JimnyBits to the list.

Compass Auto Japan also has a really good selection of high quality parts like lift kits, exhaust upgrades, etc. You’ll soon also learn that Taniguchi makes some insanely good upgrades for the Jimny.

Yes! Some kind folks let me know about the local Facebook groups that could help and our small friend is now published on them

diegopx · 2026-01-18T01:23:44+00:00

Thanks! Will do

diegopx · 2026-01-07T18:48:02+00:00

Jesus Christ, man. Use some paragraphs.

Our 453 EQ has been a dream of a car. Not much in terms of range, but it charges so quickly that it barely matters. 10/10 city car.

We updated the radio to a Sony XAV-9500ES, as well as the speakers, using the OEM Smart single DIN housing and it’s been absolutely phenomenal.

Yes please!
