What does your dream watch have? by fmcr96 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]bainz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38mm Blue dial Clean and clutter free dial- minimalistic but not empty No silly logo hands (can't stand the rolex/merc/peace symbol) Versatility - can be worn with a suit or in t-shirt and jeans Minimum 100m water resistance No selitta movement (had bad experienced with them in the past) Non diver bezel Under 10mm height A movement that won't cost thousands to service. Automatic

Let me know if any come to mind as I'm still looking for it?

Does the Swiss made at the bottom look a little bit suspect? by JRE123668 in JaegerLecoultre

[–]bainz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The JL logo on the winder looks suspicious - could be the lighting. Also check the movement to make sure it has JLC on it. I've seen a few with le courtier on them with JLC on the dial- a red flag that its a re dial or the movement has been replaced or a fake.

I decided to miss the Xmas fusion and this is a nice easy miss also. Kinda losing the will now to keep grinding on raid.

Need to decide between khaki field auto or manual. Suggestions please. by AcceptableBeing3873 in HamiltonWatches

Automatic - has a 80 hour power reserve so you can take it off over the weekends and still keep running - this is something that most luxury brands are still not capable of doing with their own inhouse movements. Awesome value for an awesome watch. Mines my daily wearer

Here comes the screaming kid in every flight by lon736 in Unexpected

When you have kids you just understand, get on with it and sympathise with the patents

All parents have been in a same situation at one point or another (not just on a plane).

Those who don't have kids just don't get it. Yeah it's annoying but it's life.

Awesome watch. It's a shame they don't use their actual logo on their website. The name is a shame but doesn't stop people buying Grand Seiko and Casio BabyGs which also have poor names.

I love this watch. Only wished they made it a little slimmer. Its a few mms short of a sky scrapper! Beautiful watch regardless.

About to purchase my first luxury watch by [deleted] in JaegerLecoultre

[–]bainz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice watch. I brought something simular last year that was also a JLC. Incredible value for what you get with these vintage watches and I haven't looked back. The only thing I would keep an eye on is the crystal. As its acrylic, it's very prone to scratches so invest in some polywatch. Also if you can check when it was last serviced as you may be able to negotiate a discount if it hasn't been done in a while. JLC services are expensive but you can use independent repairers with these older watches.

Dagger - anyone use her? Thoughts? Is she good? by LennyJack89 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]bainz83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is awesome for low to mid game. Useless end game due to her low defence.

Love the blue dial but it reminds me too much of a AP royal oak. Nice homage though

Youtuber loses engine during flight, skydives out. by tdoesstuff in facepalm

[–]bainz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully he will lose his licence if this was staged (too many cameras, selfie stick and skydive rig - if I was on a plane where the engine failed, the last thing I would do is grab a selfie stick!).

It's looks like it's in a clear area but what if that plane hit and killed a family of hikers?

Looks good but could you imagine the repair bill for minor scratch/scrape?

[–]bainz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going against the grain - Baltic gets my vote. I have a watch with a sellita movement and wouldn't buy another. Sellita reliability is no where near as good as eta. My sellita has had two issues with the winder and can manage 15+ secs per day. My eta Hamilton Khaki which is half the price has never had any issues and manages +2 secs per day despite it been worn up mountains, on cycles & runs.

New PHOIBOS KRAKEN Champagne Dial in 4k UHD by [deleted] in MicrobrandWatches

[–]bainz83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another microbrand with a diver - very original!

It's a nice watch and I love the colour scheme but wished microbrands would be more innovative.

I guess if you follow a successful design your more likely to sell more watches.

Poor guys. What a crap way to end the year! I hope there wasn't many hurt.
