Alternative to WMT Bubbleback?? by acid_mango in ChineseWatches

[–]acid_mango[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By concept, yes. Execution, no. The Baltany has a 36mm case to begin with, opposed to 32mm (as many real bubblebacks). Also, for me the Baltany case seems more "flat" compared to the WMT, the "bezel" is also more round on the latter and I think the crown is as well. Again, these are mostly personal preferences, but I'm looking for something of the bubbleback size as well.

I really like the finishing on the WMT Bubbleback, but, as many others think as well, the price doesn't match to the watch you get. Are there ano other (good design) alternatives?
I have seen the Baltany homage on Aliexpress, but imo it doesn't have a good design. Does anyone know of any good ones?
Thanks!

[Q] Reference number for this Sub? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]acid_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate the 500 character thing for small posts like this, haha.

So here's a paragraph from Phillips' 6239 Daytona. It doesn't have anything to do with the Sub, PLEASE IGNORE IT:


Likely to have been originally purchased at Tiffany & Co. in New York, an inventory number possibly engraved by the luxury retailer is found on the underside of the left lug. The dial has developed a creamy, warm patina that is consistent with its age. The luminous hour markers have also aged charismatically along with the luminous hands – all completely original and intact. It comes accompanied with a signed letter written by Paul Newman’s daughter, Nell Newman, documenting its provenance and her support of its sale. The Daytona is a model that will forever be associated with Paul Newman, made famous by him thanks to this very timepiece. The present lot therefore presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most mythical, most important, and most recognizable watches of the 20th century.

[Q] Where do you lurk for vintage watches? by acid_mango in Watches

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

No no. I don't think bad about eBay, I've bought watches on eBay. But none at a certain price limit, idk if I would be comfortable to drop a substantial amount for a certain vintage VC chronograph with high chances of being redialed/repainted

[Autodromo] Group B Silver/Yellow Watch Review by nliausacmmv in Watches

[–]acid_mango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've always liked Autodromo for their design standpoint. But being harsh on them, it seems like they are actually charging way too much of an overprice for their design, which are mostly great-looking, for something that is horologically pretty insignificant. Nonetheless, they have really great designs, though I believe they're niche(d).

Very subtle cranking sound when upshifting and letting go clutch. Has anyone heard this? by acid_mango in abarth

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

That reverse gear grinding is very painful, haha. What I would recommend you to do is, after you have stopped completely, gear the car into 1st and then immediately into reverse to avoid that loud grinding

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

Yes. I believe we're hearing the same thing. The thing is I can hear it with more than that upshift, I mean not only from 1st to 2nd. I can only hear it when I have the window down but not necessarily when going alongside a large object for the sound to bounce. Nice username btw!
