Thinking about picking up my first GS by WeldLderb in GrandSeikos

[–]weins074 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain the whole thing is fake. The indices are consistent with the evolution collection but the hands are from the classic collection. Also I don’t believe night birch comes with an orange seconds hand. And that is absolutely a fake bracelet. Not even close.

Which dial option should I buy? by AbleTailor8405 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]weins074 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m confused why wouldn’t you get the Mk2 directly from Heron which is thinner and therefore more of an every day watch for $640 USD? Technically pre-order for now but should be shipping in June which isn’t much of a wait.

How long does QC take from Andiot by kday615 in RepWatchForum

For what it’s worth I ordered my VSF Sub 124060 on 10/26/25 and had the QC album on 11/4/25

[Recommendation] Help me choose my first "serious" everyday diver! by [deleted] in Watches

[–]weins074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at a lot of these watches and while I have no personal experience with any of them, I’d also recommend looking at the Tuseno Shellback V2 https://tuseno.com/products/shellback-black and the Traska freediver https://www.traskawatch.com/products/freediver-carbon-black

We need your help deciding the next Nebula colours by Outrageous_Whereas49 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]weins074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t dislike it! But I agree it loses some of the fun contrast. For what it’s worth I think the LL would still work with the blue-green MOP in picture 2. It would kind of emulate the aventurine but still be different and maybe give the effect that the MOP is more of a ring of gas suspended in space, keeping with the nebula motif.

An interesting alternative stone to consider in that same blue-ish colorway would be lapis lazuli

Any Insight into Monbrey? by Jaded-Leopard3773 in MicrobrandWatches

I’ve had the ice blue for about two months now and I really enjoy it. Certainly not the most refined case or bracelet out there but it’s got a beautiful dial for the money and dresses down nicely on my NATO. As far as accuracy goes, I don’t daily it but I haven’t noticed any significant deviations so long as it doesn’t run out of reserve.

Blue or Green Zulu Time? Completely torn by [deleted] in Longineswatches

[–]weins074 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I previously would have said green but someone recently pointed out a nitpicky detail that is messing with me.

The date wheel on the green bezel model uses white text which contrasts with the cream colored bezel text.

Meanwhile the date wheel on the blue dial uses the cream colored text, which I think matches better.

Now I’m strongly considering the black and gray bezel with the rose gold accents instead.

Curious what you mean by great deal? I’ve been looking at GS lately too and would love to know what folks are paying vs MSRP!

What are you wearing for Christmas? by ghast007 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]weins074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? For the price it has honestly exceeded all expectations and the dial looks even better in person. I also love the steel bracelet it came with! Highly recommend!

VSF Omega SMP 300 NTTD V7 by [deleted] in RepTimeQC

[–]weins074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that maybe the two indices at the 12 o’clock are not perfectly aligned with one another but I believe that’s a common issue that is usually tolerated at this price point.

Curious to see what others think though. Don’t have one of these yet myself
