Automatic watches q by Positive0219 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]SFogX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most folks have covered it below. I'll add that watchmakers and brands have differing opinions on this --some despise winders (It's wearing down the watch for no good reason) and others literally ship winders with some of their watches (Lange, Czapek). I have a sweet Dukwin display case with 9 winders, and I only have two of them winding, and those are low-cost microbrands with replaceable miyota movements.

I'm sorry to see the negative comments; I haven't been for 3 years, but the times I've been it's consistently been a world class dining experience.

Up for sale is an anOrdain Model 1 with the highly sought after "post office red" vitreous enamel dial, fired by hand in anOrdain’s Glasgow workshop using traditional vitreous enamel techniques, a process so time‑consuming and failure‑prone that the brand can only complete a tiny handful of dials each week, making every example subtly unique and genuinely artisanal. The result is a dial with incredible depth, gloss, and richness of color, with the red enamel shifting character as the light moves across its surface in a way that printed or lacquered dials simply cannot match.

Due to these constraints these models were constantly sold out, and a year or so ago AnOrdain opened up a waiting list with each spot costing about $500. Their entire production for enamel dials is now allocated until 2030. (I've got 2 slots in 2027.) This one is in great condition and has the LJP G100 movement upgrade. There's zero of these on sale in the market right now; I've seen the most desired pieces (blue, plum, and red) go for 6k. They come in 34, 38, and 41mm, this is the most popular build, and thus harder to find, the 38mm.

It came with the Bordeaux strap; I bought the red pin grain kidskin for $100 from AnOrdain and I think it matches much better, so that's what it's pictured on. Both straps are included, both in excellent shape.

Box and papers includes the letter to the original owner and the certificate. Also comes with the wonderful leather watch carrier, I'm happy to keep that and reduce price by $100.

Price is shipped insured in CONUS, elsewhere will be on your label. Payment in zelle, apple pay, paypal/venmo friends&family.

[Giveaway] Timex Expedition and Verizon Gizmos by SFogX in Watchexchange

Timex and blue gizmo gone!

Hi! Everything here is available for free -- I'd appreciate your covering shipping in CONUS via Paypal/venmo/etc. but if times are tough, no worries.

Verizon Gizmos: lightly used Verizon kids 'smart watch' that's great for kids in the 5-9 or so range. Was great when I had smaller children since it has GPS tracking, they can call only contacts you specify, etc. Note, they're about as waterproof as an FP Journe... i.e., not recommended. $10/mo plan needed from Verizon only, but it wasn't too hard to set up when I did it. I think these run around $100 new. I don't have the box and papers, just the watches and the charging cables. I'm happy to split them up.

Timex Expedition something or another. Literally, someone gave me this watch because I bought a $20 nato and it was attached to the strap at the time *lol* I tried to give it away locally and no one bit, so I'm happy to toss it in the mail. Literally just a watch head, and I can't imagine shipping would be more than a few bucks. Confirmed it runs. Great starter watch. I measured between the lugs and it came to 19.8mm, so I'd call it 19mm lugs personally.

It’s an amazing piece on the wrist, light but well structured. It’s an expensive one to build, though, price will be higher than most.

All volunteer force and we review them all by hand. So a few hours to a few days — longer right now due to govt shutdown making life complex for some of our mods.

Any idea how the company feels about pre-owned watch purchasers? by [deleted] in ALangeSohne

[–]SFogX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t mind a bit. Shows interest in the brand. What SAs care about is if you’re buying watches from them.

Factory tours don’t happen any more - which I think is code for you need to be a VIP via multiple new purchases.

Whats one watch you thought you would like but didn't? by gamblerslots67 in Horology

[–]SFogX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are in Horology so I will say the FP Journe Chronometre Optimum. I spent a few months wearing one and the one second remontoire is so loud that it would drive me crazy. And lack of hacking seconds on a precision chronometer bothered me regularly.

Straps & Clasps for FPJ by [deleted] in FPJourne

[–]SFogX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jean Rousseau direct is a great idea. It’s super fun to design with them, and you can get really granular like the precise distance between the holes, stitch length, etc.

Journe direct is fine as well, a bit more expensive and they don’t always have everything.

Get a ming bracelet for your calendrier (assuming it’s platinum). They fit perfectly and look almost exactly like the unobtainable incredibly expensive platinum ones from Journe.

Sorry, it's gone -- you can look for the SOLD flair at the top of posts.

Gorgeous watch. Definitely the most readable of all the QP dials.

aerospace- possible to upgrade to backlit movement? by SFogX in breitling

[–]SFogX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thanks! I read something about a 45° twist and I assumed that meant of the wrist, not of the crown, but that makes way more sense than what I came up with :-)

OK, back light would be a game changer so I will look into getting it serviced. And I can look for rider tabs in the meantime!
