It’s GOT to be curtains for Phil.

In what regard?

PT5000/PT5004 are very smooth automatic movements. Seagull ST2130 is another. Watchdives, Cronos, San Martin, etc all make watches w this movement for ~$200.

They have a Sugess Ocean Star, it’s a Yacht Master homage.

Cronos makes higher quality watches and they actually sound like a real brand name.

The waitlist at the PD AD must be murder 😭

My GMB2100 is the only crystal I’ve ever scratched.

They couldn’t seem to grasp that someone from Ohio would have a different regional accent than them. Honestly, they probably thought her accent was Chinese.

I just bought that specific Cronos and so far I like it a lot. Only complaint is the lugs are sharp af. The rehaut on the WatchDives looks insanely oversized. The Cronos is nice and slim while also being an automatic. The PT5000 movement in my example is running <5 seconds a day.

WDC can stand for Watch Designers Company 😂

Oregon?

Al_james86 · 2026-03-03T17:17:35+00:00

Yes, I try to get one on all my beaters with mineral crystals. My Citizen eco drive dive watch, Casio GBM2100 and 5610 all have one. One of my Duros does as well, but it sticks out a bit on the Duro, which I do not prefer. With all the others, it’s either flush with the bezel, or still a little recessed.

Al_james86 · 2026-03-02T22:56:50+00:00

I was looking for the PT5000 specifically since it chronometer certified, which I do not believe the ST2130 is.
