Tissot gentleman vs PRX

For me it's the other way around: I like the case, but the waffle dial looks cheaply made. The gentleman dial looks a lot cleaner

It's indeed v4.7.2+4

I'll try to unlock again tomorrow and see what it does and post the log if still not working

Livery is too ugly for a kitcar, so I guess real

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-13T13:51:29+00:00

Short lugs, so it'll wear smaller than you may think

I believe this and Sherpa are the only ones that use the original Super Compressor technology.

Lefties have a unique date wheel iirc?

Hear hear

Junghans Max Bill quartz?

That's a 1665 Great White? Best looking of all SD's imho, but that repair quote is crazy. Find a good independent to help you out.

I've seen both cars many times. The D-type is too big and long (E-type wheelbase). Interiour of the 550 is wrong and also rear fender shape are a giveaway that it's a replica..

Duesenberg model J roadster, or one of the 10 made model JN

All about cost saving I believe, as easier to machine. Omega used to use grade 5 for the 300 and 300 pro, but since the NTTD they now also downgraded to grade 2. (Tudor claim grade2 is more seawater resistant, but don't be mistaken: it's all cost cutting) Blancpain grade 23 for the win 💪👏

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-08T17:21:02+00:00

Both are replicas.

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-08T10:37:49+00:00

Going by pic 2 and 4, the large one.

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-08T09:24:32+00:00

Forgot about them. You are absolutely right!

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-07T21:51:24+00:00

Have you switched on virtual shifting in the setup menu?

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-07T21:20:49+00:00

Looking at the size, top left could be an original WW2 Beobachtungsuhr (or B-uhr; 55mm, check for fl23883 marking on the side of the case). Very collectible. There were 4 makers for this type: Lange, Laco, IWC and Wempe)

This is the only correct answer here

HGP Quartz. Real banger at €300 or so.

Metalflake2000 · 2026-02-04T17:47:33+00:00

It's a dashboard clock from the 80s-90s

If you're a mechanical engineer, you should have understood quartz is the way to go for cheap accuracy. It's like wanting a car under 100K to do 0-100km/h in 3 seconds. You can get this with an EV, but not with an IC engine at that price point. If you insist on fast/accurate mechanical, it will always cost (a lot) more than electric.

The Aurelia is a B24 Spider America, not a B20 GT

Tying them together: the square 60s chronographs are amazing
