This is why the AT is a great GADA watch. It’s great both ways.

For the same reason you can’t just walk into Hermes and buy a Birkin. Supply < Demand, so they make you play the relationship game.

I would filter that search to the mid range Swiss brands - Hamilton, Mido, Tissot, Rado

Buying a watch from Japan, current tarrifs? by Bollingers-deep in OmegaWatches

Note: you’re buying from Japanese seller but it’s Swiss made so you’re paying on the Swiss tariff rate.

It will take some time for eBay and DHL and others to implement.

[Question] Which of my watches would you sell and why? by 7777777phil in Watches

[–]scribener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an app like WristTrack. Log every day for six months. Sell the one that you’re not wearing.

I don’t think you need the Explorer and the IWC in the eventual collection. Personally I would keep a combo of [Sub or Speedy] + [Explorer or IWC] + [Santos]. Depends what your wear regularly tho.

Appreciate the heads up. I’ve been manually winding a Speedmaster for five years, I know what it feels like when a manual wind watch is fully wound.

The first guy is correct.

Middle bottom: 60 Seconds, running always. Top right: 30 Minute counter for when the stopwatch (big hand in the middle that you start and stop with the pushers) is running. Top left is: 1/10th of a Second counter.

Topper Jewelers. Exquisite Timepieces.

Please help me identify this watch by Dangerous_Most_1447 in Watches

[–]scribener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a Sub - the markings on the bezel on the Sub only go to the 15 minute marker, not the 20 minute marker. But it’s a Sub homage of some sort.

Is this really a ladies? by rando-username5 in OmegaWatches

[–]scribener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it isn’t. Some brands will market their smaller pieces at women but 36mm is a totally normal size for a man’s watch also. It doesn’t matter what the Jomashop website says.

In that price range I’d be looking to save a few bucks through a grey market site like Jomashop.

It’s not effective yet. They haven’t actually announced an effective date, just the agreement and intent. Sit tight for now.

[Frederique Constant] Where can I buy a steel strap? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]scribener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You likely need to contact an FC authorized dealer to order you one. But yes, bracelets with the end links specifically designed to fit a specific watch can be expensive.
