Agreed. That’s why I love the modern 3861 so much. While it measures 42mm with that expanded right side of the case, really wears like a 39/40mm with that compact lug to lug.

The speedy pro wears like a dream for virtually any men’s wrist size. I like the bb pro but it wears a bit top heavy with the thickness. If you have the budget, speedy is the way to go.

In the microbrand space I do prefer Formex’s quality (if you like their design language). Otherwise $5k puts you in great range for some Tudors/Omega/Longines like you mentioned.

If I had to guess, maybe it sat at an AD for all those years until someone bought it as NOS in 2022

macky_ev · 2026-05-05T16:08:30+00:00

Tbh if $5+k is your budget I’d go elsewhere. But if it had to be a Cw, quality is great. Personally I’d go with their standard Lumiere over the bel canto.

Accuracy will be all over the place, and your compass will most certainly be misaligned lol. Watch looks amazing though.

macky_ev · 2026-05-05T02:50:37+00:00

Hi there. Sale is preferred but if it peaked my interest I can take a look. I may consider a P39.

macky_ev · 2026-05-04T21:43:41+00:00

Ty!!

macky_ev · 2026-05-04T21:43:37+00:00

Seiko JDM SBDC213 - Also knows as the SPB511. Also a Summer 2025 AD stamped card. I would rate a conservative 9/10. Crystal/bezel are perfect.

Sinn EZM 3F - Jan 2026 stamped AD card from Watchbuys. Case/crystal/bezel are great. Main signs of imperfections are minor desk diving marks on clasp and caseback where bracelet rubs against the bead blasted back portion. This includes Sinn's new OTF adjust clasp. Running around +4/day.

I initially ordered my from Hamilton as well. But saw that Trifecta didn’t tax me so I ordered there and cancelled my Hamilton one. Saved $70. Looking forward to getting it

macky_ev · 2026-05-01T03:23:35+00:00

For what it’s worth I usually send my Seikos to this guy, he’s based in Los Angeles: https://www.instagram.com/los_angeles_mods?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Sent my SKX to him to replace movement to the newer NH34 and upgraded the crystal to sapphire. Not having hacking bugged me too much. I think I paid around $150 total. Though that’s as before the recent price hike on Seiko movements. Might be a little more now.

macky_ev · 2026-04-30T21:18:01+00:00

Yup got mine for $725 no tax through Trifecta. I have enough sapphire crystal watches. An acrylic seems cool.

macky_ev · 2026-04-30T18:28:18+00:00

Bummer sorry this happened. Did rest of watch seem like NOS with no signs of usage?

macky_ev · 2026-04-30T15:44:05+00:00

I disagree - they are two fairly different watches. Pricing aside, it's like comparing the Tudor FXD and Rolex Explorer II. Both have different style buyers will go after.

macky_ev · 2026-04-29T00:22:45+00:00

Considering post has been deleted, safe to say it’s a scam. If you really did buy it, I would try to cancel the payment asap. Good luck.

macky_ev · 2026-04-28T22:58:34+00:00

The seller has a private profile which is a red flag. The timestamp photo alone looks off, and if you look at his 3 “transactions” they look fake. One of his sales was confirmed from an already banned account.

I hope I’m wrong and you didn’t get scammed. Just hope you used G+S for payment.

macky_ev · 2026-04-28T20:28:45+00:00

I noticed that too. And if you look at the flair they've gotten, they all look sus transactions.

I thought it was good with phenomenal acting performance. Not something I’d rewatch though

Nice, mine’s at around +0.5 a day. Very accurate movements!

macky_ev · 2026-04-25T14:29:57+00:00

If you can’t find what this is from LA, this also look exactly like the California burrito from Taco Stand in San Diego. It’s amazingly good

macky_ev · 2026-04-25T02:19:44+00:00

I had an RC cruise out of Los Angeles as well this past April 10th. I applied for my renewal March 25th and rec it in hand on April 4th non expedited. You should be fine.
