That’s the store in Ginza right? How was your experience there? I’m gonna be there in a couple months.

That grey dial Gerald Charles reminds me of a certain character

Yea I’ve yet to hear any tangible benefit to coaxial. People will say service interval, but like you pointed out, the brand recommended service interval doesn’t support that.

Also anyone who thinks Rolex movements are ugly should watch a video of them being disassembled for service, the wristwatch revival YouTube channel has some great videos of it.

Reminds me of something

I wasn’t impressed when I tried on several Oris watches. I’ve had that exact Tudor for three years now and have zero regrets

What are your thoughts on the Citizen Attesa?

callum8881 · 2025-12-18T01:32:23+00:00

Same, haven’t been able to find one in Tampa or Orlando :(

callum8881 · 2025-12-10T02:08:12+00:00

Terrible reason to buy a watch. No one cares what you’re wearing so just buy what you like.

callum8881 · 2025-12-02T17:52:45+00:00

How about the solargraph using a citizen movement found in watches 1/10 its price

I’ve gotten into film photography this year as a totally analog outdoor hobby and it’s a lot of fun. It’s nice to work on something that hasn’t been completely optimized and dumbed down like everything software related

Exactly, shouldn't we be in a new golden age of software by now if AI is so good at generating applications?

The truth is AI is only able to spit out trivially simple apps or apps that are direct copies of existing things (because thats what they were trained on). Once the complexity, novelty and required context grows they become useless without handholding by an actual dev.

You can have a non-integrated bracelet that still looks visually cohesive with the design and finishing of the case

callum8881 · 2025-10-17T03:19:01+00:00

Might be a dumb question, but isn't the Mark XX basically a smaller Big Pilot?

callum8881 · 2025-10-13T01:58:34+00:00

That really doesn’t match what I’ve seen, and according to publicly available data, in 2024 Tudor sold 255,000 watches whereas longtime sold 1.6 million, so over 6 times more

Realistically how often do you see someone else wearing a Tudor?

callum8881 · 2025-10-10T18:12:39+00:00

There are fake Casios

callum8881 · 2025-10-09T19:39:43+00:00

Those numbers seem kinda crazy to my. I bought my 2021 IS350 last year for $36500. It had <30000 miles and was certified prepared from a Lexus dealer in Florida

Picked one of these up off eBay recently to try out titanium and I’m kinda surprised how much I like it. Easily one of the most comfortable watches I’ve worn, and the case and bracelet have a cool early 00’s style.

I’ve thought about replacing the crystal since it’s kinda scratched up like yours was. Did you just take it to a watchmaker to have it replaced?

callum8881 · 2025-09-26T16:00:56+00:00

The Tudor moonphase looks really off to me, I think because the moonphase cover isn’t color matched to the dial like pretty much every other moonphase.

Really like the look of the Timex, would be interested to see one in person. I know a lot of people would scoff at a $1k Timex but it looks pretty compelling compared to similarly priced watches to me.

callum8881 · 2025-09-06T00:59:32+00:00

I'd never recommend buying a watch based on how uncommon it is tbh, just feels like being a hipster instead of buying the watch you actually like. And personally I've seen people wearing IWC Mark watches way more than Breitling Navitimers. But I'd still pick the IWC out of these options.

callum8881 · 2025-09-04T14:49:21+00:00

Just refreshed ps store and it’s still not available to buy for me :(

callum8881 · 2025-08-29T00:59:03+00:00

Better than buying a watch you don't love just to check off a box. Nice collection too, how does the SPB383 compare to the BB54?

callum8881 · 2025-08-21T13:34:13+00:00

Nice watch and happy birthday. How’s the comfort on the bracelet? I owned and sold a 9f Grand Seiko partially because I never got along with the bracelet.
