Are mechanical watches robust enough to withstand firearm recoil and vibrations? If so, which ones? Im guessing some SINN or the Victorinox INOX, but other than those? Disregarding durability within combat like hitting dirt and being banged up, for the moment. Just being worn on the wrist on the range for example. Is a regular incabloc enough?

And also the abundance of mall watch tier designs, even if they are still making some classic/decent looking ones.

Nobody in eastern europe can recognize submariner or speedmaster, list of people wearing rolex in my country would be very short. For us the rolex isn't dreamwatch, simply nobody thinks about it as something possible to obtain in any stage of life.
Most respectable are tag heuer and tissot since they sponsor every single sport event so people know these from tv as solid swiss watches.
And wearing the tissot/tag it is possible you won't ever meet anyone wearing better watch than you here so it kinda works.

Sinn do state that their movements are basically modified ETA/Valjoux's, plus another difference is that Sinn also has some more neat stuff in regards to the case/bezel/crystal (Depending on what model). While Tag on the other hand, didn't do that with the cal 1887.

Also, Sinn do have a lot better designs than Tag.

How do you guys deal with wanting certain watches that you know would absolutely never work for you? For instance, I own the SMP and I'm in love with the Ploprof, but that shit would look goofy on a wrist like mine. Another example, the calatrava 5180-1r001.

Meanwhile let's look at some Sinn's "technological developments":

>Examples include their "tegmentation" (Article: Case hardening stainless steel surfaces using the Kolsterising process) which actually works (But doesn't make a case indestructible / unscratchable like they claim...), then on to their gas filling (Which doesn't really make sense technically) to their "stay dry" capsules, which while a good idea, don't really work either (Not even enough salt for normal casing atmospheres). Of course they could skip the two last "innovations" by using Teflon sealing ... but then they wouldn't have anything to market.

What hipster context did you have in mind for it?

You haven't admitted anything to be wrong with tag, you're only dissolving your loyalty argument because you're backed into a wall.

That argument doesn't work either. Listen, if you think you schooled me, you are only proving yourself as stupid as I claimed you to be. If you have to resort to claiming I have the same kind of enfatuation with sinn that you clearly do have for tag, that only proves you to be as poor argumentatively as you are financially. And to try to argue the quality of a watch brand when you haven't owned anything comparable ( aside from a seiko ), you prove yourself as inexperienced as your awful points lead others to believe.

Here's a typical "review":

>If I could give zero stars, I would. Bought an AquaRacer and within a year it stopped working. Sent it in, and like others have experienced, Tag stated that my watch had been “shocked.” Laughable. After speaking with Tag, they finally agreed to repair the watch. Got it back, and noticed within a day that it lost at least 4 minutes a day. Sent it back again. Got it back...and again noticed it lost minutes a day. Now, the automatic function works sporadically, if at all. They want to “repair” it on my dime. No way....their repairs are horrendous, just like this watch is. DO NOT buy a Tag.

>UPDATE;
>After speaking with a Tag rep whereby he offered some tips after asking questions.....it appears that my AquaRacer is functioning fine. I had no idea that even though this watch is automatic, you still need to “charge” it every day by winding 20 times. I tried it, and my watch is now functioning and keeping fairly accurate time.

I hate that you make me repeat myself, but I expect it when people are as slow in the head as you, I'll spell it out super simple for you too.

1) I do not care about Sinn, you're attacking a company that I have no allegiance to. If Sinn fell to the ground tomorrow, I would not feel anything.

2) If you think watch brand quality doesn't matter, why did you use it as a point against Sinn right before you said that? Good god, you either have the memory of a goldfish or are the biggest hypocrite alive. Not to mention, look at ORIGINAL invicta watches vs the monstrosities produced today. That is the difference made by having competent people in control of a company.

3) I wasn't claiming your points to be lies, it's right in your quote. Awful. They're just shit. You attack a company I don't care about because I'm clearly doing the same for a watch company that you do. You disregard the opinions of many in the watch community and trust that yours, the opinion of somebody that has never owned a watch of a caliber higher than entry level japanese, is more reliable. You show clear bias in your ability to disregard literally anything bad about tag rather than be transparent and admit, like all other companies, they make mistakes. The only issue is that they make far too many that are far too noticeable to garner the kind of dick riding that you seem to give to them. Like I said, If you own literally no watches, the dick riding possibilities are limitless. I couldn't say that because I own watches, and they set me in a price bracket.

>Unexpectedly, when we tried to enter the store the security guard refused to let us in as we were told that we can't enter because the store is very busy. When I had a glance at the store, there were only 3 groups of customers. We were also told that the wait will take about 20 minutes, which we understood as waiting inside the store. However, as we stepped into the store, the security guard quickly pushed the door and told us to wait outside. We felt terribly offended and we had to ask if we can wait inside. Finally, the security guard reluctantly let us in.

>Even after we were let in the store, the security guard was staring at us with suspicion as if we were there to steal something.

>Just because we look young and are not best dressed, the security guard has no right to judge us. He assumed that we are unable to afford the watches and hence he didn't want to let us in. Both my husband and I are young professionals, working at respectable jobs, and are able to afford the watches at Rolex.

>Due to such offensive behaviour, the excitement we had before was lost. We were so offended that we couldn't stay in the store any longer.

>Think about how many customers like us get turned away from the store just because of him. Also, think about what damage he caused to the brand's image. He made us re-think about our decision to purchase a Rolex watch. People should never be judged by age or looks.

I read on reddit that Guinand actually customizes your watch with different hand colors and other minor customizations that aren't on the internet model list, if you go to their shop and tell them what exactly you want on it (and wait a week or however for them to assemble it and test it), is this true? Does anyone actually have this or is it a dead brand? I thought that a trip to Frankfurt to the actual location might be a fun experience.

Swiss made and in house movement, £680. But you people might guess £2k, right? I just want value for money and a nice looking dress watch for work.

Whats your point? They have a heart in the 2-star Basic Luxury Watches category (2 star basic meaning price range $1,500 - $5,000. The star rating is purely about price range, and the heart is about being best in that price range).

So if you can get one with in-house movement for £680 then to most people its like you got one of the better £2k watches. Which is exactly the kind of value proposition I am going for.

Does anyone actually ask how much a watch costs? Or google the model number? Isn't that like asking someone their salary or something?

If someone asks me about the watch I will say I just wanted a swiss automatic with inhouse movement and it feels comfortable, I didn't put much thought into it and I liked the way it looked.

[Anonymous No.14425682]

>>14425673
I know.

My point is Richard Mille is respected but half the age.

I actually dont care how old the brand is, I care more about accuracy, materials and complications. If someone took 350 years to make the same quality or spec as someone who took 20 years then that brand is retarded, not superior. Dont @ me

It's in bad taste to ask that but I've had a few who were just generally curious, usually if they're a normie anything 700 and up surprises them, but the watch enthusiasts typically ask the price of your watch if they're actually interested in doing more research for themselves. Very few actually ask to judge you, and if they do, they aren't the type of enthusiast you should surround yourself with

I don't know about your countries, but in Norway people tend to ask about the price of a watch if they think it's a special watch, or if they think it's more expensive than normal watches, say a DW, Seiko, or Certina and that sort of thing. For them to ask you would normally first stumble into a conversation about it tho, like if you are showing it off, or if they are taking notice of it and compliments it, which happens a lot. Then the inevitable question comes, how much does it cost?
