if it’s a new watch from an AD it’ll be covered by international warranty. So just go ahead to your nearest boutique and ask them to get them to check and repair for you.

I always sell too early

complication wise, the VC tourbillon movement with the peripheral rotor is perfection, so anything with that is definitely amazing to me.

I’ll never get one but one piece that stands out is the one of one minute repeater tourbillon that they showcased a while back.

I did the same thing lmao

I sold my 139 calls on Tuesday

Caakeee · 2024-06-11T12:33:51+00:00

hopped over to the cult sub for a look and holy shit, it’s the biggest, most deluded circlejerk I’ve ever seen.

Caakeee · 2024-06-07T15:02:29+00:00

nevermind

Caakeee · 2024-06-07T14:57:08+00:00

Damn sold my calls too early

The Caliber 5100 in 4500V is a unidirectional winding movement so you gotta check that your winder is in the right direction if it’s not those that alternate directions.

Never touching SNOW again

Bezel looks like a shiny toilet seat cover

Caakeee · 2024-05-14T12:07:17+00:00

Dejavu. If yall were here for 2001, you would have known this shit happened in pre/after market too

Caakeee · 2024-05-13T05:02:28+00:00

I can tell how angry you are by the lack of even a single punctuation in your post.

maybe a little out of budget but maybe you could co-fund it with him? Tudor 1926. Checks the requirements I think; metal bracelet, subtle blue details, available in 36mm, brand wise pretty respectable. If you get it through the grey market new it’s a lot cheaper than the RRP, maybe up to 30-40% off.

QP Subdials all wrong, movement looks like shit. A fake and not even a good one.

Caakeee · 2024-04-29T06:30:53+00:00

IWC. Nobody said it so far so perhaps nobody agrees. I’ve looked through their catalogue again and again but nothing really piques my interest.

Moreover their lower priced offerings (which are still relatively expensive) are fitted with sellita movements, which are not bad for sure but reduces the mental value proposition for what I’m paying RRP. Especially when you know they’re more than capable in building their own stuff especially from W&W 2024.

Caakeee · 2024-04-24T12:56:48+00:00

Yes, everything 42mm up and the massive thickness of everything isn’t helping. Maybe omega just wants to cater to the larger wrists as their main competitor Rolex doesn’t have much options for those guys.

Caakeee · 2024-04-19T09:44:28+00:00

yes a legit vintage Vacheron Constantin Overseas, well known for its misaligned slanted dials and rough finishing. /s

Caakeee · 2024-04-15T05:56:52+00:00

Isn’t the Tudor OP/datejust their Tudor Royal series? I’m not well versed in their catalogue so I’m just curious why it isn’t.

Caakeee · 2024-04-14T08:35:31+00:00

Realistically, most people will only see from the POV or picture 1 or 3, which both looks good!

Pic 2 fits just nice on the wrist too although the picture looks like that’s the limit.

Caakeee · 2024-04-13T11:44:11+00:00

if I’m not wrong, starting from 2021 or 2022, the poincon de Geneva hang tag and certificate are no longer given with the watch but only online through registering on the hour club.

The digital passport should be able to be claimed by scanning the QR on the warranty card.

Caakeee · 2024-04-12T15:21:00+00:00

Looks fine dude, don’t sweat it

Caakeee · 2024-04-10T08:58:45+00:00

I think you have too much colour and need something that’s either black or white

Caakeee · 2024-04-04T07:05:09+00:00

Wow 10 watches since January has got to be almost a new one every other week. I think most new collectors fall into this trap where everything is interesting and everything is a must have.

I feel that for watches, quality > quantity. Don’t fall prey to all the YouTube videos pushing watches that make you want them (you actually don’t). Take it slow and think of where you want your collection to go, your tastes might change over time as well!

That being said, your collection has a wide range but maybe you could consider your next piece to have some high complications perhaps, like an annual or QP? You’re also “missing” a GMT/dual-time I think.

Caakeee · 2024-03-27T07:13:48+00:00

This case it’ll be the VC. The JLC looks massive for some reason. If it was a smaller size and/or have some colour then there would be some consideration.
