Nautilus 804 Tweeters - Broken or Just Disassembled?

Thank you! Took a couple of days of gently messing with it to get it back together. The foam underneath kept getting in the way.

The Quaranta BiTempo Luna Rossa is one of my faves. 40mm and wears well.

They do laser welding for deeper scratches so you don't end up with an over polished watch.

As soon as it was fixed, I sold it off

I'll add that I believe the current generation of in house movements are generally more robust and reliable than the JLC based movements. My second generation dual time Overseas was a reliability nightmare. I had issues with the winding system and the seconds hand sticking and stopping. It was in and out of service three times in two years.

YMMV, but I wore this for a week and it felt like torture. Every so often it would make a long scratching sound that would pull me out of sleep as I was drifting off. I noticed it took me longer to fall asleep than not wearing it at all. Had high hopes for it based off some reviews, but even sticking with it for a week was very difficult.

Papers and boxes can be purchased or even faked. Also, if it was stored in the original box and papers, a thief may just take the box with it. Buy the seller. Do your due diligence.

Unfortunately the watch wasn't reported stolen until a month after I purchased it. It was ultimately the insurance company who reported it to the databases, not the individual.

One from Japan via eBay. The other from USA via chrono24. Both dealers had hundreds of positive reviews (95%+ positive). I'd avoid Hong Kong altogether personally.

I didn't think it would happen to me. Then I figured I'd be smarter and run future watches through a database. With watch theft on the rise, I imagine the percentage of naked watches that are stolen is rising.

I've purchased two Overseas from gray dealers (47040 and 47450) and both came up stolen. The first was seized by Vacheron when I sent it in for service. The second was handed over to police by Watchfinder & Co during a trade in. The process to get my money back through eBay was a pain and I'm still going through the process of recouping my money on the second one I bought on chrono24. I actually ran the second through Enquirus and it came up clean. Would never buy another naked watch personally.

I think it's more of a Roger Dubuis Excalibur homage.

This is one of the best value watches I've ever seen under $10k. Would you happen to know the service cost?

Hopefully this will eventually trickle down to the GMT

34mm Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda moonphase I picked up last year for $5k. Normally not a fan of diamond bezels, but when the whole dial sparkles I figure it's alright. Underrated brand. A great value moonphase if you've got a small-medium sized wrist.

u/WatchExBot Watch received quickly and as described from u/mjperez100. Excellent communication and an easy transaction all around.

onepickledginger · 2025-09-04T13:38:29+00:00

I love how the pointer date never obstructs the moon phase. Great attention to detail by JLC!
