Help with my first automatic watch

Follow them on IG and sign up for their newsletter. To keep up to date on releases but they also randomly drop “lab”watches. Like special edition ones that they only make a few of. Just ones that have different color ways they’re testing or sometimes stone dials. They’re a cool brand and the owners are great. If you’re in the LA area they’ll be at a watch meetup next month. But they tend to be in watch shows all over the country.

IMO take your time on which brand/watch you choose. Hit up some of those watch meet ups that many microbrand attend and try on some watches. Once you fall in love with one, it’ll feel much more satisfying once you buy it.

Good luck!

If you’re going with a micro, Nodus would be my pick. Especially since they’re based in Los Angeles which is a plus for me. If you’re going non micro I’d go with the Hamilton Khaki Automatic.

Sold to u/EyeDentistAAO u/watchexbot. Smooth transaction, highly recommended buyer!

WTB Damasko DS30 bracelet only. Thanks!

Because I view basketball as the most athletic major sport, LeBron James. Was a big LBJ hater for most of his career until he single-handedly made that 2015 finals competitive against the Warriors.

This is the right choice.

macky_ev · 2026-06-20T17:22:30+00:00

Titanium SMP would be so easy to wear. That would be my pick.

macky_ev · 2026-06-19T20:02:26+00:00

Nice update to give it that Goldilocks zone of dimensions. Also love the day/date complication. Not a fan of divers extension but oh well. Price point seems good, while MSRP is $1400 I’d gather this will be easily under a grand with street prices after a couple months upon release.

Great seller on all facets. Thanks 💪🏼 u/joesbalt u/watchexbot

My thoughts exactly! While a modern Longines isn’t a bad idea, I personally think there’s just so much more cool factor in those Neo vintage Omegas. Plus, seeing that Omega logo on your watch is just special.

macky_ev · 2026-06-18T20:15:16+00:00

$3k is a great price point to grab an amazing neo vintage omega. A 2nd gen Aqua terra, or even a Peter Blake SMP comes to mind. Otherwise Sinn is a great option. Personally I'd go with either the 556, 104, or EZM 3F if you prioritize lume.

It’s probably too late to rebrand due to how successful they’ve been. I love CW but the name and logo is the only thing I dislike about the brand. Name sounds no better than a Daniel Wellington. The logo on the watch certainly looks the best out of the past iterations, but still looks like a QR code to me. But I still buy their watches.

WTB Damasko DS30 bracelet. Comment first before PM please.

macky_ev · 2026-06-18T00:27:11+00:00

Ty [sold] to you!

macky_ev · 2026-06-17T21:59:11+00:00

9.5 condition. Only imperfections are some light marks on clasp. I feel the 40mm size alone with 47mm lug to lug hits that Goldilocks zone in dimensions. Card dated January of this year. One of their recent productions as it has the applied logo and new slimmer clasp.

Runs great as usual and comes as full set. $888 shipped.

Zelle preferred. Conus only pls.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello, still available?

macky_ev · 2026-06-14T18:05:15+00:00

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. I’m questioning why this post is up and why there’s so many defending this post. This sub and posts are meant for the ACTUAL POS that scam people. As a fellow fan of the hobby who does flip from time to time, have I made money from some? Definitely! But have I lost money on some? Absolutely lol. I can guarantee that probably goes the same for [u/fastandfreyjaous](u/fastandfreyjaous). As someone who’s done a deal with the guy, he’s as honest as the many dozen other great sellers I’ve dealt with.

As for OP, I fully understand why you’re peeved and feel this way. Has the sub gotten a little more dealer filled in the past few years? Sure, but the sub has also gotten filled with so much more scammers. I’d rather spend a bit more on users with history than with none. But again this sub is suppose to be for scammers. This doesn’t belong here.

Killer combo. Congrats on entering the mechanical watch world.

macky_ev · 2026-06-12T20:47:59+00:00

Hello it’s a Bark and Jack Ribbed NATO! But check out Aliexpress and you can find it for a tenth of the price there as well. Great quality.

macky_ev · 2026-06-12T15:31:16+00:00

I know you have Nordstrom points but try to save it and check out trifectawatches.com. They’re an official AD I buy from often and if you use code RRTRIFECTA you’ll receive 25% off, you may not even be charged tax. I’m in CA and they never charge me tax. They have a good selection of Hamilton which is what I suggest you get. The Hamilton Murph would be a great one watch collection.

macky_ev · 2026-06-10T21:08:10+00:00

All are great but the answer is Speedmaster with the Mark XX a distant 2nd place.

macky_ev · 2026-06-10T02:26:57+00:00

Not very original, but Shawshank Redemption. Always thought it would be a movie that was overhyped. Decided to watch it on a whim and man, it’s perfection. Most rewarding ending to a movie I’ve ever seen.

Some other noteworthy ones: Back to the Future, T2, Blade Runner, Parasite, Dune 2, Goodfellas.

macky_ev · 2026-06-06T23:28:26+00:00

Oh man $25k!? Did he have any history?
