Am I retarded for wanting a Lorier Falcon? My wrist is six inches and I love the aesthetic. I’m just not sure if I’ll regret owning a watch from a microbrand.

Curious, wouldn't dive watches be better off using tritium instead of luminova? It's not like you will get much sunlight under water anyway so it seemed counter-intuitive to me.
I have a normal dress watch with a very tiny strip luminova and whenever I check it at the middle of the night the lume would be completely dead. Do those large luminovas on dive watches last longer or something?

>>17847367

>>17847370
You saved that file on your device just to seethe at Chad.

What it was a cool watch bro: https://youtu.be/Zxz-FypnO20?si=Uvx9b2l3MskFq6IO&t=106
If you're as much of a chad as you claim you are then you can pull it off no problem.

>>17847283
Nice watch winder and holder there.
What model is that and where does one acquire one?

What does the setting regime what you use with your daily mechanical watch look like, /wt/?

For example, my Seiko is on average 12.5s/d slow, so I bump it three minutes forward every two weeks to keep it within +/-90s of atomic time during those two weeks, meaning that aside from daylight savings twice a year I only need diddle with it 26 times a year.

>>17847379
absolute state of soikofags

>>17847368
probably a manufacturing safety issue. no big deal for you, the consumer, but if you run a watch company that might have to pay employees or subcontractors to handle quite a bit of the stuff to shit out boatloads of dive watches every year, you have a little more to think about

radium was never a real concern for consumers either, it was the people who had to handle it in the factory who got fucked

>>17847360
depends how much of a seikuck you are. is there a cheaper prospex version?

>>17847368
there are watches that use tritium now
lume quality varies obviously and the amount of layers they put on too

>>17847379
on the chance you're not trolling, look into positional variance

my 4R36 is within +-5spd as long as I either wear it overnight, or only leave it dial side up overnight and wear it during the day

my 9F62 is -5spy but I suppose that's cheating isn't it. I would like to open it up and turn the regulator knob to get it basically perfect, but I'll wait for the first battery change for that

Recommend a watch for me.

I've looked at the Tudor Ranger, used Rolex explorer I (desu my wife who doesn't give a shit about watches saw a picture, was like "ew why does it have a mercedes logo on it," and now i can't stop laughing/cringing when i see it so no), now discontinued version of the Longines Conquest just for a sense of where my head has been at, but i'd appreciate other ideas

>>17847403
>"ew why does it have a mercedes logo on it,"
what is wrong with her? that's a good thing
>and now i can't stop laughing/cringing when i see it so no
Sad.

>>17847403
don't buy a used watch if you want to wear it kayaking

strongly consider being flexible on the date requirement unless you wanna be a wrist incel

>>17847408
this got 0.183% and I'm not sure if it's because women are a bunch of midgets or if it's because they're poorfags

>>17847403
Get a Sinn 556 and use your money for something else.

>>17847404
The Mercedes hand actually served a purpose at a time when lume application and adherence was shitty. It allowed the big area of lume to be applied in smaller regions so it was less likely to crack and peel away. Today it's basically just a stylistic choice that persists from heritage.

It's really interesting how much the old heads figured out about watch design so early on in watchmaking. Almost every aspect of every watch was made the waynit was for a purpose that we don't even question today because we're so far removed from those problems being solved. They put date windows at 3 o'clock so that busy gentlemen could quickly reference the date without needing to pull their sleeve back. That's a great idea we don't even think twice about, a lot of people even prefer 6 o'clock dates now for the symmetry and because most people wearing watches aren't wearing them with suits anymore.

>here's your haute horology in 2023 bro

>>17847403
> kayaking
Wouldn’t you want a light sports watch because you’re moving your arms a lot? Like a g shock or something similar. If not, probably best to choose a diver

>>17847415
I will never understand these see-through watches. Why do I want to see my hairy arm?

>>17847414
>all this shit that I didn't know

have you ever seen the mercedes style hands without it? looks weird, glycine sub for example, just a fucking BALL lmao

>>17847420
why do you wanna wear the basedest of soys a fucking spooderman capeshit zoomershit is the bigger question

Which brand is the Rick Owens of the watch world?

>>17847413
thx for this rec, the date window is subtle enough that it doesn't annoy me, the Sinn 556 A RS is a real contender. now to agonize over white v red seconds hand

>>17847427
I prefer white. If the money's really burning a hole in your pocket, look into the 856 range instead. A little bigger (which might be a problem with your 6 inch wrist), but it has cool tech like tegiment, anti-magnetism, and moisture prevention.

>>17847461
So, is it robust enough to double as a shield?

>>17847367

>>17847403
the fact that you could save a little for a higher budget tells me that you shouldn't even consider buying a watch in that price range

>>17847440
I'd unironically wear it

>>17847492
>''Tell me you're american without telling me that you're american''

>look at Tissot quartz models
>second hand not aligned with markers
I was expecting a Swiss made brand to have good quality control, what gives?

>>17847502
It seems pretty common across all brands and price ranges. The solution is to get a quartz without a second hand I guess

>>17847502
As far I know the only brand that gives a shit about quartz is GS and they align the seconds.

anyone have or use this watch? Thinking about getting it, it seems to have the best visibility/features in the price range

absolutely love the color and the watch overall

>>17847520
what's the movement?

>>17847379
I check it every morning when i put it on, once it settles (i assume it has to do with how well it's wound) it holds at about +2 to +5spd, so i don't have to set it for some time. Not bad for a 60 year old Seiko.

Good morning sirs

>>17847524
Sellita SW330-2 apparently
it seems really accurate imo

>>17847502
At the lower price point only Casio is able to produce a quartz movement that can hit the markers, Lineage and up.

>>17847283
i added a stainless steel wristband to my watch, is this this any good?
also still looking for a watch this size and type that alsp has a date display. this one is great but the casing isn't even stainless steel sadly.

>>17847508
>>17847514
>>17847539
not good news, I guess. but why does the watch community tolerate it?

>>17847591
I'd say it fits nicely.

>>17847495
Im not american though

>>17847600
the watch itself is noticably more shiny than the band but i still like it i think

>>17847527
seiko needs to stop slacking already and relaunch all their vintage models like tissot did with their heritage lineup wtf are they doing

>>17847604
It's better like that, it's a dress watch, so it fits.

>>17847608
i used to have an 14mm black nato strap with the extra loop trimmed off on it before so yeah it's a step up.

it's kind of funny, i had the wristband around still because it's from my previous watch i replaced after it broke internally. both just happened have 14mm straps.

>>17847624
>14mm black nato strap
damn boomer did you get lost
lost in time lmfao

nato straps OWN your ass

>>17847532
not bad. mogs my srp

>>17847639
well you are right but thats only because my skx007 came with shitty end links that stretched out like 5 years in, and then I couldnt find a cheap chinese one so now I have been stuck with this 2 doler 50 cent chinese nato for like 2 years

>>17847597
because "quartz is poor people shit" and the only people who seem to disagree are a small and autistic market that is completely captured by GS and to a lesser extent the citizen HAQs, there's no room for others at this point

r8

>>17847636
to be fair the watch didn't have removable luggs so there's not many options once the original false leather watchband brakes. natos are the most well known passthrough watchband so that's what i went with. the previous band was black also so it seemed like the logical step.
i had to sew out the springbars and replace them to get the current band attached but that even being an option took me time to figure out.

>>17847590
Bracelet is pretty comfortable clasp is dated only micro adjustable with a strap tool at least it’s milled

>>17847652
I don't know how much this costs but it looks like it costs 4 times more than MSRP.
Looks gr8. very wearable, very sturdy, the bracelet's got the polish and brushing going on, the dial isn't the deep ink black that I would like but that slight lite black does the trick, too.
I'd say a solid 8, m8.

>>17847704
>they'll fuck it up
Yeah I guess. Watch brands these days seem to be obsessed with ogre sizes, I was eyeing the tissot visodate automatic the other day only to realize they've discontinued the 40mm version and replaced it with a 42mm version, wut the actual fuck.

I really wish they didn't use acrylic crystals on their watches. I get that they're going for a vintage watch thing, but they don't need to go THAT vintage. The days of acrylic and hollow bracelet links are better left in the past.

It’s like playing snes on a crt. It just hits different. If it’s not for you though it’s not for you. I was terrified until I bought a piece of shit Vostok Amphibia and realized there wasn’t any glare and the dial looked a lot cooler.

>>17848102
which one?

>>17847876
it looks good in person u know how watches look in pictures

the lug to lug length is shorter than my hamilton khaki so it wears better than a 38 mm

>>17848139
get it serviced asap before rust sets in if your watch has any value to you.

>>17848181
nah I will pay out the ass for a generic clone, i did let it air out, if i do manage to get the back open do i just take the movement a part and dry it what

>>17848202
If the movement os rusty just buy a new one and swap it, it'll probably be cheaper that way.

>>17847994
They're doing it with Seiko 5 as well(time sonar, picrel) which is why i think they'd juat plop a 4r36 in it and put the day at 6 and call it a day. The movements are roughly the same size so they should be able to make the same case but i'm absolutely positive they would fiddle with something to ruin it all.

>>17848213
would it rust that fast? like a week

>>17848217
I don't know. Just take it to a watchmaker so he can have a quick look, he ahouldn't charge you anything for that.

A partial list of the various Swiss & German contractors are:

If you want modern watches scratch the ones that went bankrupt

>>17848284
So Longines and Omega are based, good to know.

>>17847906
this is the picture on the listing

>>17847502
Sometimes the second hand will hit the markers in a certain area of the dial and be off in the rest. I’ve got one that hits the markers from 15-30, but not the rest. I’d assume the way the hand jumps forward one second at a time means there’s less control over where it points. Sometimes you can see that the hand actually makes a slight jerk backwards as it settles to rest before ticking forward again

>>17848311
Jesus how fucking retarded do you have to be to put something like that on your wrist and think yep, i look good.

>>17848335
don't want to be That guy but I've only seen Niggers wear them. I guess that's the market.

>>17848335
>>17848337
How many niggers have you seen wear a rangeman? It's a tool, a compass, altimeter, barometer, solar powered and synchs time atomically to local radio towers, it's not about how it looks but the functionality

>>17848348
So im gonna guess you are writing this from the arctic expedition or from a bottom of a volcano?

>>17848348
niggers wear watches as bling, they don't care about any of that shit and especially not what time it is

>>17848288
Longines was openly bragging about the Lindbergh connection up until like 3 or 4 years ago and they haven't exactly backtracked, they just kinda got quiet about it and said "it's complicated"

Good Afternoon, Sirs.

>>17848359
Because you're not allowed to talk honestly or openly about history anymore. Crimes of the past continue to be perpetrated into the future so that any time somebody wants something they can invoke it to say you owe it to them.

My pasty auschwitzmode friend with skinny wrist wears one of those. Peak performance

>>17848421
The perforated strap upsets me a bit but weirdly enough it does work quite well with the moonwatch

>>17848528
>Moonwatch
The Speedmaster was designed as a motorsports chronograph (to compete with the Heuer Carrera).

However, perforated straps are a bit much for that piece. To each his own. What bothers me more is that he bought the Nu-Speedmaster instead of the "real" model that came in the legendary fuck off box. It's like buying an imitation of an imitation of the original.

>>17848421
That's to jerky your cocky in cucky?

>>17848531
Yeah but it’s not really associated with, or marketed via, motorsports. At least for me, the holes in the strap remind me of the moon, and it does seem to complement the three smaller dials, making a decent package overall. Lots of circles. I probably wouldn’t wear a strap like that myself though, too unconventional

>>17848520
Let's start with the bracelet. It feels cheap and it even sounds cheap when you move. It's such a big downgrade from my presage sharp edged, which costs 250€ more, that I am starting to think that it was just an after thought. There is no branding on it [the bracelet] and it only says, on the inside, ''Stainless Steel -B''. And I am still not done with the bracelet part. The clasp, as you can see from the pic, has this huge opening that screams ''Not thought out'' from meters away. And no, it's not only my watch that looks like that, it's not broken, it actually is the look of the clasp. They almost tried a bit by making it brushed on the front and polished on the side to make it look like something, but they couldn't save it.
Moving on: The dimensions of the watch. They feel off. It's way too thick for what it is (pictures following), and the open back is a joke because 50% of it is the case hiding it and it looks clumsy too because of how thick it is. That and the case diameter is too small for its thickness which makes it look almost like a blob. The saphire glass is curved which gives it that stupid dome-like look and that's a shame because it is taking away from the only saving grace of the watch, the Dial. Which brings me to the one point that might make you consider this watch. The dial. It's simply amazing and the detail [of the dial] is well worth the price. That, and the caliber 6R35A is a pretty decent mid-tier caliber. These are the only reason that you get this watch.
Closing, there is No reason to not get the Alpinist or the Baby Alpinist because they go for the same price.

>>17848541
>>17848423
No shit retard? They just doubled or tripled the price of everything, everyone knows that. What did you expect?

>>17848541
either the Alpinist or just go straight to a presage.

>>17848543
The presage sharp edge feels like a 4 digit watch and well worth the price. This one is so far behind that that it's a joke. Not all seiko watches are overpriced now.

>>17848546
>>The presage sharp edge feels like a 4 digit watch
Because you're a brainwshed retard, it used to be $350 as SARX/SARB lmfao.

>>17848531
>Speedshitter
>5 ATM
not even a viable everday watch, isn't Omegas new movements shit too? some shit I heard
is the MSRP really 8k+ on the Speedshitter?

>>17848549
I compared it to orients and san martins that go for 1/3rd of the price, and you can tell. I gave it to non watch people to tell me which one they think is more expensive, and they knew. I do agree that them going ''up market'' sucks though. Especially with those porcelaine dial thingies.

>>17848544

>>17848556

>>17848576

>>17848451
No. Get a Tissot PRX + Tissot Gentleman instead.

>>17848552
>is the MSRP really 8k+ on the Speedshitter
Yes. It feels like omega has raised prices faster than others, but I’ve got no data to back that up. It seems like they want to occupy the same space as Rolex in terms of pricing, brand recognition etc. But then they did the swatch collaboration, no idea how that fits in

>>17848594

>>17848603
"used to be" - what does that have to do with today

>>17848540
Yes, I just wanted to point out that that pairing is actually more organic than any bracelet or NASA strap, for what the "Speedmaster" came from. Not what it is today obviously. Who is right though? kek. I mean, nobody dives with a Sub anymore either, but we still call it a divers watch.

>>17848552
Of course not. The Speedy is notorious for being delicate. Bash it around and it looks like utter shit in a matter of days. Acrylic will dent, bend or snap, the steel is unironically the softest I've ever had on a watch (it feels like white gold and scratches super easily). It's not an everyday watch unless you don't give a shit about destroying it. Which you may not, but I prefer to keep my stuff in good condition while still wearing it. That's why I barely wear my Speedy.

And yeah, don't even wash your hands with that fucker. It's about as watertight as Kursk. The new movement is stupid, but it's not technically bad. They gave it a co axial escapement, thereby changing the vintage formula that has been in place since the 60s (basically when they abandoned the column wheel until today, it was the same movement for 50 years give or take). I think that's really stupid because the charm of the Moonwatch is the vintage defects. The bastard keeps time like shit. I don't care. It's a "pretend you're in the 60s wearing a watch of the 60s." I mean you either love it or hate it. It's not for everyone.

Aaaand yes they raised prices. If you want my advice, buy the 1861 in the big fucker box while you still can for decent prices (around 5k should be the going rate for a nice condition piece). It will be the one that is collectible down the line. Yes they sold a lot of them but they are desired and demand is only going up. And no other Speedy ever made (from the main line) has had this presentation box. It may not be a limited edition but it looks like one.

The new one just comes in a fucking cuckbox, pic related. It doesn't even have a loupe or NATO strap with it.

What do you /fa/ggot think of picrel?

>>17848578
>>Current 321
>20k msrp
>Yikes!
And the 1861 is now trading for the same money as the "new" 3861 model on the used market. It will be a year or two until the 1861 becomes more expensive than the 3861. Discontinued models tend to appreciate especially when they are as famous in the watch community as the "legendary" box. To tell you the truth I don't know anyone who wants the new model Speedy over the old. Myself included. At the same money I would never buy the new one. Probably even for less I wouldn't buy the new one. I just don't fucking like what they did to it. The movement didn't need to be modernized. The dial didn't need to be altered. The bracelet sucks, it tapers way too much. And then there is the fact that the new Speedmaster is forever tainted by "sharp edges to cut yourself with".

>>17848630
>and then there is the fact that the new Speedmaster is forever tainted by "sharp edges to cut yourself with".
if you ever had to sell a watch privately you'll know that these pieces are terrible. The first question you would get from anyone (also from me) is does it have the razor sharp edges and you'll always think he's lying and take a leap of faith or back off. Good luck with that fucker in the online marketplace, Jesus.

>>17848601
got any pics? How fat was that ass?

>>17848627
Gets dabbed on by the aq230

>>17848639
idk its probably on the archives, he had a black bay I think?

Bought the bullet and finally decided to invest in a basic watch. Got this Seiko for just under $150 on sale. How'd I do /fa/?

>>17848645
It looks a bit like my Aquatimer.

>>17848645
there's even a small crown guard. Pretty decent i'd say.

>>17848623
I'm poor and I'm broke and I don't wear watches, almost considering it though for sheer utility when needing to check time multiple times using the pocketwatch starts to become apparent, literally feels gay, not a problem when you are indoors all day but if you are outside it's bad

speedmaster has good aesthetics that's about it, did not think about it having plexi not sapphire, makes it even worse, on top of being manual wind and having no wr, no date
it's literally a watch I would never buy because I can't even use it, implying I ever buy watches
but in this hypothetical scenario it does not check many boxes

>>17848645
>invest

>>17848645
I don’t like how the hour markers are connected by two white bars. What’s the point of those, only makes the dial cluttered. Not very good. Otherwise seems Ok

>>17848650
>>I'm poor and I'm broke and I don't wear watches
Just get a job dumbass?

I have this old watch that hasn't had the battery changed I assume since it died decades ago, I can't find a lip anywhere to pry it off but I can see where my mother and grandmother have attempted to remove it with all sorts of scrapes and scratches at a couple specific spots.

>>17848650
There is a less desirable model with a sapphire crystal and see through caseback, called the 1863. It's a little more durable but otherwise has the same flaws.

If you want a robust, durable chronograph that isn't super expensive, you might want to look at an IWC Fliegerchronograph (the cheapest one you can get), or a Breitling Superocean Chronograph, or even a Seamaster Chronograph. Those watches will take a beating, especially IWC are known to survive a plane crash.

>>17848654
Oh it has a stainless steel back!
Affordable luxury right here, take good care of it. Remember you never really own a Lorus, you merely pass it down to the next generation.

>>17848650
I mean invest as in something to use for everyday use and not for appreciation. I should've been more literal.

What's up with long island watch shilling these shitters? First the tvg unautoed automatic and now this horrible skeleton watch with these weird ass proportions and a see through back just to see a basic movement.

>>17848663
The guy is a shitter collector, didn't you know that? He can only sell and shill shitters because that's what he loves.

>>17848660
What do you think, how long would a $150 watch have to last in daily use for you to call it a worthy investment? I’s say 4+ years

>>17848663
Shit, my man could have knocked whole millimeters off of this skeleton diver by removing the rotor.

>>17848663
LIW has a few embarrassing dogs they call watches, but they have a few legitimately high quality watches for the money.

Redpill me about IWC. What did they innovate in and where are they today?

>>17848674
>What did they innovate in
copying better brands designs

>where are they today?
usually found on some faggots tiny wrists

>>17848675
Thanks for your detailed answer.

>>17848677
no problem friend, always happy to help newcomers

I'm actually considering an Aquaracer Professional 200.
Anyone have some experience with it or maybe some suggestions for competing watches in the 2-3k range?

>>17848517
What were you trying to suggest then if not "lindberg dindu nuffin, he was a good boy"

>>17848623
I have dailied a new Sneedmaster for almost 2 years now and have none of the issues you describe.
I daily it and my crystal is in perfect shape. If it gets scratched, polywatch will easily fix it. The co-axial is a fine, it only gains 1spd. Water resistance is fine. I occasionally shower with it, obviously just wouldn’t take it swimming.
Honestly bro you just sound kinda dramatic and gay lmao

>>17848683
I like the homos sport neomatik in that price range

>>17848683
I’ve got it in quartz and enjoy it a lot. Black dial but no date. The only difference is it has no lume pip on the second hand, otherwise it’s the same. I find the edged bezel aesthetic. Elegantly masculine watch in my opinion

>>17848683

Are you happy with the build quality? No problems with the watch itself?

Does anyone know of a GMT that looks similar to these (or even the normal Presage GMT) but with a smaller case size? Ideally the sameprice or cheaper (~1.5k)

>>17848445
Y no watch recommendations for me anons?

>>17848716
you need to embark on your own watch journey

>>17848708
I am yeah. It’s my most expensive watch and does stand out in terms finishing, materials etc. as it should. I can’t really compare it against other watches in same price range though because I have none. Had it for a year now, no problems.

any recommendations?

>>17848746
Citizen ecodrive

Funny how you broke niggers endlessly praise cheap garbage like Seiko, Casio and Citizen but are hyper critical of respectable watches like Rolex, Omega, A. Lange, AP etc. Its almost as if this place is just full of sour grapes salty poorfags just screaming into the void.

>>17848756
Everything you just said is completely false

>>17848756
Absolutely, but people here shit on seiko all day long so that one isn't a sacred cow, but casio and citizen sure are

I went to the swatch store out of boredom and they had this in stock and I thought I would impulse buy it but holy shit the quality is so in your face awful. It feels so light and cheap and the chronograph seconds jump over the sub-seconds and the chrono minute subdial doesnt even have markers for each minute

i thought maybe with the hype gone i could get one as a fun watch for less but nope people actually sell these for more than they paid for which already feels bad lol

for the same price or just a bit more you can get an entry level Seiko with a workhorse mechanical or solid quartz movement made out of stainless steel. for a bit more with some patience you can get a used Bulova Lunar Pilot which is so so much better.

it feels ironic that you might think this would be the speedmaster for the poor but it feels more like something people who own a speedmaster get for the fun colors because for them 260€ is basically nothing

>>17848761
absolute fucking shitter from swatch yet again

>>17848761
I got one on release and my Seiko SPB shitter for the same price feels 10x better. Sold it with a profit afterwards

>>17848756
I completely disagree m8. They shit o seiko daily and I have never seen a human being shit on A Lange.

>>17848779
>I have never seen a human being shit on A Lange.
People shit on Lange all the time.
>Bizarre design, way too large, the only thing they're good at is movement finishing, etc.

>>17848694
If you actually shower with the Speedy then you're really not someone whose word I'll trust.

>swiss made

copped one of those mfs on ebay for a whopping 49 bucks inclkuding shipping. but holy fuck that bracelet and endlinks are even worse than i expected. how the fuck is this allowed.

>ill fitting
>wrong brush
>too flat

ive seen watches for less than a fifth ot the MSRP with better bracelets and endlinks. wtf.
ngl im glad i didnt pay a single penny more.

>>17848845
got any pics of said bracelet?

>>17848848
not right now. but its gen if thats what your asking. including the bracelet tis watch has 4 different finishes. its horrific.

i tried to switch it for a fake seiko bracelet from aliexpress, which is like 10 bucks but 75% better, but the endlinks dont fit this case.
what a shame because the watch itself is really beautiful.

>>17848727
Okay, thanks alot man.
On second thought, the quartz looks bomb as well and the price difference is kinda making me lean towards it.

>>17847293
Why is G-Shock shit, what other watch can an electrician wear besides a casio

>>17848665
No, his personal collection is quite good. White gold Daytona etc, the shitters paid for it.

>>17848948
Cause tiny grit gets into links and gaps and grinds with movement. That's how bracelet stretch happens. You can never get it out at this point, either. Have fun.

>>17848970
Ignore these opinionated posts, they're made by a couple of resident retards

I like the concept of Automatic Chronographs that have a GMT hand, but most are ugly.
This Longines Master collection looks decent, but I am not really a fan of the brand.
Any recommendations for about 1-4K?

>>17849011
These kind of watches are the citizen night hawk of mechanical watches.

>>17849011
>>17849016
Excuse me for being retarded again, that master collection's 24 hour dial is a night/day indicator and it looks like it does not have a GMT function.
A better example is this Longines Admiral, less night hawk vibes, but looking for other alternatives.

You do realize that the "Smiths" revival is a completely different cope watch from the original that ascended that mountain, correct? And Hillary did in fact have a Rolex, but it was more of a base model like an OP. I could find the reference model if I cared more.

>>17849160
I know its not the Original company but still, it has a nice history and it's closer to the original watch.

>>17849161
A Rolex is unironically closer. The cope version has a completely different movement and the owner is a fag

>>17849164
not really, look at the Rolex supposedly worn by Hilary vs the one they sell today. The Smiths one is closer IMO

There's literally nothing wrong with Longines. They are incredibly based as they designed a watch with Charles Lindbergh, who was the first "America First" figure. Maybe you want a more...ummm...let's just say "Jewish" watch...?

how many spd +/- if you leave your watch face up/down
