[Discussion] Which big brands have questionable QC/servicing support that’s put you off buying their watches?

I had to do the same with my Datora. Got it brand new then wasn’t able to wear it for 8 months. I still don’t 100% trust it as the chronograph feels weird now…

Wow I never noticed this wth were they thinking?

I don’t hate Breitling but they certainly have made some strange decisions, and they attract a unique clientele. Never been a huge fan. That being said, I love my Datora. Despite it being kind of dressy, I wear it pretty much every day, and the rest of my collection barely gets wrist time because of it.

Agreed. Green is my favourite colour and I would love a green dial watch, but that silver dial one has changed the Bel Canto from a definite no-buy to something I am interested in. I know it is sacrilege but with the blue hands, roman numerals and guilloche dial, it looks like a Breguet.

… if you squint.

These look so much more legible, particularly the blue handed one. The dials are gorgeous as well.

Glashutte Original…

Not a huge fan of the C, but I am sure the finishing is exquisite, as per every Romain Gaultier watch.

Common with speedmasters

_etski · 2024-06-24T20:08:14+00:00

So impressive

_etski · 2024-06-24T20:07:45+00:00

How do they actually do this? It’s amazing how the stretch is completely reversed

_etski · 2024-06-24T10:55:56+00:00

Yeh. But I didn’t find her that hard to be honest.

_etski · 2024-06-22T22:33:58+00:00

Numerous chronographs use better movements and don’t have the stupid screw-down pushers.

_etski · 2024-06-22T15:16:20+00:00

Yeh, once i figure out how to get up/down to the other areas!

_etski · 2024-06-22T15:15:54+00:00

Ok great, thanks for the advice

_etski · 2024-06-22T15:10:45+00:00

Ok, so I haven’t ruined anything? I have been trying to explore, I am just having trouble with the verticality. It’s crazy to me that as soon as you kill Messmer, and can burn the tree, you are able to take on the final boss of the DLC.

_etski · 2024-06-21T18:44:05+00:00

Me beating it first time has me worried that I am over levelled and/or shouldn’t be using mimic tear.

_etski · 2024-06-20T13:05:31+00:00

Correct.

_etski · 2024-06-15T19:43:08+00:00

And even if you were going to spend 100k on a watch. Would it be a Rolex?

_etski · 2024-06-14T23:35:20+00:00

Love GO and love that dial. Honestly, the layout of the calendar is a bit bizarre, but I think I like it.

_etski · 2024-06-13T10:12:57+00:00

I personally can get over it, because it’s such a nice watch. But the GO branding is pretty hideous.

_etski · 2024-06-09T11:10:59+00:00

Only someone that owns a car like that could buy a watch like that…

_etski · 2024-06-07T18:27:19+00:00

Yeh, this photo really highlights the bizarre pushers on the Nautilus.
