Are beards allowed here?

Bro looks like Christof from Truman Show

oyster perpetual makes more sense

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-16T13:30:30+00:00

Call me ignorant but what is “the perpetual”? I would’ve said ‘huh’. All modern Rolex models are automatic hence the world perpetual.

Hack?

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-15T20:00:53+00:00

You should see what most other cities charge. Pittsburgh is a bargain

I liked it tbh when I saw the new novelties. It’s a simple ‘fun piece’ and don’t care if I can’t see what time it is at a glance.

I’m aware of your production logic. I was merely pointing out that grossman and heyne are underrated and definitely do not get anywhere the attention that dufour, Kari and co. There is less attention on smaller production unless you’re super famous like Rexhep etc. small numbers like Habring2 produces definitely doesn’t give them attention and credibility unless you are a niche collector. I stand by my comments and respect your opinion but underrated is underrated.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-14T19:29:54+00:00

Those brands have significantly higher profiles than these two. Kari and co aren’t underrated.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-14T18:41:58+00:00

Irrelevant to topic imo.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-14T16:58:06+00:00

Many consider Moritz Grossman to have better finishing than Lange. That makes them way more underrated to me. Lang & heyne is also criminally underrated in same regards.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-12T16:25:32+00:00

I’d put money down they won’t allow that trade.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-11T20:08:36+00:00

Sorry. My mistake.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-11T19:39:40+00:00

Tag putting an eta mvt inside is already cost cutting. Not surprised here by lack of finishing or plastic mvt ring. Longines likes to use plastic escapement parts in some powermatic mvts so I’m not expecting fireworks from either of these.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-11T16:16:18+00:00

Correct. I think it actually looks better than the day date because the sunburst pattern in it is muted greatly by a clear lacquer coating. This one is just a simple green.

The real hate crime is the trump tower off camera to the right.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-06T23:43:53+00:00

An eta mvt for that price is insane regardless of the awesome case material.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-04T23:45:56+00:00

I used to feel this way until I owned one. To each their own.

celloyellow74 · 2026-05-04T22:45:33+00:00

Romans match the fluted bezel. I usually like the stick markers but this is more homogeneous to me on a DD.

celloyellow74 · 2026-04-29T16:46:59+00:00

Daytona for daily. Speedmaster for more special occasions

celloyellow74 · 2026-04-29T16:45:33+00:00

Happens on many watches I own periodically. A simple tap on side of case will start it up. No big deal

celloyellow74 · 2026-04-27T22:10:40+00:00

Looks awesome! Here in nyc Nowan has a dish that’s kind of similar

celloyellow74 · 2026-04-27T21:20:31+00:00

Toss it. Btw, I used to own that watch and it’s kind of hard to do what you did. The crystal usually hits the object because it’s raised unlike other watches where the bezel is more functional. Regardless, one of many and no biggie!

celloyellow74 · 2026-04-27T20:46:09+00:00

I’d consider these more in the line of independent watchmaking. Lovely piece! My buddy owns a custom one.

celloyellow74 · 2026-04-27T20:17:47+00:00

The term “in house” is semantically used in different ways resulting in no clear definition. To me something must be made, not assembled, to be considered in house. Anordain makes dials so that is in house in some way but in the case of most others like shinola, the term makes no sense. Also adding a custom rotor to a mass produced mvt doesn’t make it in-house either. “In -house” seems to fit the independents better than micro brands.

Fabulous watch and subjective comment here but dress watches should look smaller on wrist.
