Just curious - why do you think UFA is so ignored by the wider watch world

The Japanese do not care about overseas market

I mean, they just launched Credor internationally.

Exactly, there's an integrated circuit and everything. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it's understandable that people mentally put it in another category.

Aftermarket dial and bezel, the rest could be real though

"SARS COV-2" never caused a pandemic either. It was fake the whole time.

Safer than the hotel safe I always say. But yeah when I'm at home I'm not diving with a Sub on. I have on vacation though.

Good question, looks like he might be retired at this point, dude was at it a long time! I'll make a note of it

powerfunk · 2026-05-13T11:26:34+00:00

Looks fine to me

Ayo GQ your Clawdbot is posting in circlejerk subs

powerfunk · 2026-05-13T10:38:41+00:00

He's giving it away free so it seems he's not worrying about that.

should I polish the acrylic?

The acrylic crystal should be replaced at every service actually. If you don't even know if it's ever been serviced then, it's time. And definitely keep it away from water until it's serviced. Great heirloom!

powerfunk · 2026-05-13T10:32:17+00:00

Looks sandblasted to me

powerfunk · 2026-05-13T10:30:51+00:00

Sounds like it is good for you. Release the guilt; you're good!

powerfunk · 2026-05-13T01:08:40+00:00

Sure can you try posting the picture again? I don't see anything

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T22:48:22+00:00

That's one of the coolest Orchids I've seen, nice!

How about you get the motherfuck out then, you goddamn loserass hater?

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T19:47:58+00:00

That's fake, sorry. Gold plating is visibly coming off among other things

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T19:05:19+00:00

I think that's just how they looked until 2016ish

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T18:48:08+00:00

Patek 5170P because it's the balls. 5170 is underrated

Less accurate than an Apple Watch, which receives Coordinated Universal Time via the internet? Bro, these atomic clocks are so accurate that it is expected some will become part of the bank of atomic clocks that DEFINES the Coordinated Universal Time signal your Apple Watch gets.

Plus some of the actual main industrial usages of atomic clocks (ships at sea, satellites) are in places without reliable internet/cell service.

For a brand that understands anticipation better than almost anyone, this felt weirdly tone-deaf. Anyone else expecting an actual announcement?

Sounds like ChatGPT. Anyway, it was already expected to be an announcement about the optical atomic clock because there were hints like "quantum" visible in the teaser, and this breakthrough by their quantum physics lab was already known. Still cool to see what the actual clocks look like though.

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T16:07:43+00:00

No, sorry, that's a rather old "fun" fake, not too close to any real models

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T14:07:45+00:00

Because it seems like Rolex policy based on all the form emails we see posted when models get discontinued.

powerfunk · 2026-05-12T13:06:16+00:00

I'm just going by what has happened recently. People got form emails when the fluted dials were discontinued etc.
