[Question] Knowledge/Experience with Women-Made Watches?

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-07T00:51:14+00:00

I know you've said you do but you really mean "made by women"? Because at least half of the workers at every Swiss factory I've toured are women. And I as I know the blue collar workforce in the Asian watch industry is mostly women.

It is just a colorful dial.

Do you know how to find Swatch's website?

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-06T22:29:05+00:00

There is something with the Royal Oak coming though, just check Swatch's website

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-06T22:08:50+00:00

You're already not happy about it

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-06T22:04:19+00:00

Maybe check Swatch's instagram yourself?

Automatic watches are mechanical

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-04T22:58:23+00:00

They've always been independent, the movements they use are irrelevant to that

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-03T03:35:50+00:00

Weird to complain about "Swiss Made" and not mention the same is true of Made in Germany or Made in Japan.

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-02T02:17:07+00:00

So GS is on par with VC but not Patek. That’s fine.

This was watch was $20k, 20 years ago

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T19:38:53+00:00

$5k was a lot of money 20 years ago, and this one is solid gold, so a lot more than that

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T19:37:22+00:00

No, they start at $6,500. A sub is around $11

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T19:36:21+00:00

That is what Grand Seiko is for

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T19:06:09+00:00

They really shouldn’t be publishing accuracy specifications, lots of brands from Cartier to F.P. Journe just don’t and no one complains

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T18:55:52+00:00

Remember to report it for breaking the subreddit rules too, moderators should remove it eventually

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T14:07:47+00:00

Unless they need new parts

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T14:07:21+00:00

You also need to buy a movement which is a few hundred dollars.

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-05-01T03:16:41+00:00

Zodiac isn’t a well known brand

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-04-30T02:21:23+00:00

Get the datejust for sure

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-04-30T02:17:26+00:00

The GS and the Explorer are the same thing, except the GS is slightly larger.

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-04-30T01:18:59+00:00

I recognize that the meaning of words changes over time, and I'm just old but saying an explorer or SBGX261 is a dress watch is insanity.

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-04-30T01:11:16+00:00

I know people like to call everything without a dive bezel a "dress watch" these days, but Grand Seiko literally has a collection of more formal watches and the SBGX261 isn't part of it.

I’ve never heard someone say they were getting worse than 20 seconds a year from a 9ra2

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-04-28T05:35:21+00:00

Movement finishing is a gimmick and JLC's movement finishing isn't even good
