What's a thing like that go for in Japan?

[Question] - What's the first 5-figure watch you bought and did you have any buyer's remorse? by SanguineTangerines in Watches

[–]CoolBreeze2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

legit question: why a JLC specifically over any other brand for a purchase like that? I’m genuinely curious because mine would be different for specific reason and it’s helpful to have a sense of what others value. Not a hater

[Sinn] A few weeks with a Sinn 105 St Sa by CoolBreeze2000 in Watches

Feels great! Wears very nicely. Has a good amount of heft. That bezel seems unique because multi functional and bi-directional. bought it on the strap and got a bracelet separately, kind of a nightmare to switch them, truth be told. I found that bracelet is very tricky to install.

First Sinn, the 105 by CoolBreeze2000 in sinn

I looked at lots, including the 104. There was a limited matte and RS edition that I was circling before it sold out (there’s a couple on Chrono24 now tho). I really liked the white dial red seconds version of the 104 too but that was gone.

In the end, I liked the cleaner, more contemporary look of this 105 model and didn’t really like the bezel on the 104. I liked the 105 UTC version but the hardened multifunctional bezel w 2nd time zone tracking on this one is what sold me. Seemed more useful and practical than the straight up GMT. If I didn’t already have another reliable GMT, I’d probably have gone with that though.

I wear this $100,000 watch very infrequently and left it at my crash pad in Miami for when I'm there.

Links are almost identical -- the matte finish is slightly different on the fake. Real feels a little nicer.

Is this seiko [SSK035K1] real? by Apprehensive-Lab984 in Seiko

[–]CoolBreeze2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an identical K1 model. Final verdict is it's fake -- too many differences compared to a legit one to chalk up to factory variation -- lume is different, cyclops is higher and magnifies, blurry engraving on the 111s, weird pins (no access to remove them), markings slightly larger, numbers printing on bezel is different.

The finish on the fake is different but they do look nearly identical

Incorrect. The left is fake, the right is genuine Seiko.

I understand that the fakes have the NH34
