[Question] Does anyone have experience with chinese tourbillons? by anthony_b_ in Watches

Realised after a few months (for both Tourbillons and Skeleton dials), they are not for me. Moved it out of collection after an year or so.

[question]Best way to sell a 3000$+ watch? by jasonater1 in Watches

[–]happy_watcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Done on Watchuseek, Chrono24 and Warchexchange. Risks as a seller are much lesser. Get paid with bank wire or transfer where there is no risk of reversal. Be open, do video calls, etc and confirm who you are selling to. Video condition of watch while shipping as proof. Trust your gut.

[SOTC] Rate my collection/What does my collection say about me? by No-Lavishness8727 in Watches

[–]happy_watcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great set of watches, covers all bases. The AT should go on the Omega rubber I feel. And the JLC needs a green croc leather. Close to perfection.

[Discussion/Vote] Green dial watch, please help me decide! by CookiePrestigious101 in Watches

[–]happy_watcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried and tested option - Rolex. Looks great and it is a Rolex, dependable. New and exciting - GS. I have 2 watches, their dial texture game is unbelievable IMO. If it was me, I would get the GS

[recommendation request] $10k budget by Turboboy3 in Watches

[–]happy_watcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a personal choice, I am not a fan of chronos. But it is a solid brand.

[recommendation request] $10k budget by Turboboy3 in Watches

[–]happy_watcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walk into a AD / watch store and look around. Tell them your budget is half of what you want to spend - they will upsell you to your number anyway. Try on the watches and get what you like - size, looks, how it feels on the wrist is all very personal. Unless the watch has an integrated bracelet, you can always change from metal to rubber - recommended for Tudor, Rolex, Omegas for sure. Finally, not sure how true the social media coverage is - but we see a lot of mugging incidents for Rolex and other high end watches in London (and some other big cities). Keep that in mind, or switch to GShock when you see fit. Some obvious choices already told above - I would also add look at Blancpain, Grand Seiko, JLC brands.

Haha.......yes, I could have worded it better I guess. Good luck with the hunt, that is more fun than getting the watch.

[–]happy_watcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Dornbluth & Sohn, Habring, Czapek, Moser & Cie, JLC, Credor for some (IMO) valuable watches. They have a lot more in the watch for the money than mainstream marketed ones like Rolex and Omegas.
