It's not luxury, but I would have been willing to trade the 80hr reserve on the khaki pilot for 30-something reserve of the legacy ETA movement they originally used in it, namely because of the noticeably smoother sweep.

This shouldn’t even be a relevan question. 70 hours should have already been the standard for so long now that no one would even entertain the absurd idea of 24 or 36 hours.

I'm perfectly fine with a 41mm sub as long as the lug to lug remains 48 or even they trim it to 47 or they make the lugs to hug your wrist perfectly. But I agree with you, 36 and 38 are the perfect sizes for most watches.

Rolex literally 10 years behind the trends. They should have gone to 41mm back when they dis the maxi lugs, if they were actually ahead of the curve they would have announced they were making it 39mm today. What a fucking joke. And they added a whole bunch of clown colors to thr op and did jack shit for the sub. I guess the need to add one color sub every 3-4 years to properly milk their fanboys. If they dropped the new sub in all those new op colors heads would explode.

The owner is famous for one of the worst cases of evading the question out there: on wus when someone found cheapo tissel chinkshit fliegers or bauhaus muh minimalist watches made with legitimate stowa cases, imprints and all. Basically proved that stowa has nothing to do with germany and is made in china, which is even more of a joke because there to this day there exist some great watchcasemakers in germany. Stowa just had the whole thing made for cheap in china, to the extent that overstock was being used in other chinese brands lmao. I think there were some repurposed dials about too.
When confronted with this on his own bought and paid for subforum on wus he fled immediately after having been a frequent enough participator, for a brand owner, and has remained silent ever since. Not even some smoothing pr fluff. Just clammed up and never posted again lol
I mean, most swiss shit is chinese but at the price stowa is scamming people for you'd at least think the cases and dials would be german because for example fricker/ickler and others still make cases for brands in germany. Archimede and limes are both house brand ickler watches iirc. Stowa just cheaped out big time.
>muh made in germany precision engineering
what a joke.

Have you had a stowa watch? You would know its hard to beat for the money, all the other brands you said have worst issues (cheap movements), QC is the main thing, in the end. I'll take a Stowa over said other brands.

>>15530144

Buy the Stowa, your being shafted by retards. Nomos is good to but buy them used (best bang for the buck), Laco for their Unitas movement watches, damaskos are good for their cases and crowns, shame about there standards sw200's.

I'm a German watch collectors and there quality is good, Nomos, Stowa then Laco..... all the other german brands.

Sinn overpriced, omega money.

Damasko, sort of stand alone, good aswell. Id rather have a Stowa but you could go either way.

I wouldnt worry about the other brands, start there.

no, it doesnt. You dont want any magnetic stuff in a mechanical watch.
you have to rotate the bezel on your own while using the sun to find North.

all watches can do this without a compass bezel but its more crude. Those upward arrows on flieger watches are for this purpose as well.

How I do hope Rolex abandons the midsized nonsense they're doing now and just go full on 44 and 47 mm so wristlets will stop buying them and the prices of the new ones will approach reasonable and you can get them without sitting on a waiting list for literal years and the wristlets can fight over the 40-41 mm ones on a vicious secondhand market with increasingly higher prices.

Then there's no excuse for their shitty as fuck lume.
It's owned and run by the oh so typical cuntish German. If you're interested in Damasko, you'd better be in the US so you can buy from their retailer there who retains an inhouse watchmaker that can do any servicing, that is unless you bought one of their in-house calibers in which case you're probably fucked. Dealing with Damasko directly will yield only frustration, as is well documented.
The most notable case of this was the guy that had rust on his special damasko metal case and bracelet. They refused to acknowledge that this was possible. The guy complained on damasko's own forum and the the moderator, a real buttbuddy of Konrad Damasko himself, stepped in and tried to get a response. I think it may have been well over a year before they attempted to rectify the situation but the case is subpar.
I dropped my DA36 a year ago and would like it serviced, but I sure as hell am reluctant to send it to Regensburg, especially in this climate.
The factory was robbed and trashed recently by """""youths"""" so it'll probably be a while before their logistics is back to normal. It's not a bad watch, all things considered.
Sinn has better design though.

I have hard wood floors.
The rotor is making a scraping and rattly noise after the last fall onto my soft foot and then to the floor. I was not sure if there's any damasko specific stuff like seals etc., that have to be taken into account. Don't damasko use viton or some other non-generic seals?

Missed out on the SARBs while they were out, picked up a 035 a year or so ago, and have been intrigued by the Alpinist ever since.

>I heard that Japan does not even ship out parcels right now.
There's a page on jap post that shows the countries expedited, EMS, mail ships to. Regular snail airmail jappost isn't moving at all, but there may be a surface mail option, which means months at sea.
Most sellers I've been dealing with in japan, for pens not watches, are shipping via courier like dhl or fedex. I'm still able to get EMS though due to the abnormally large number of Japanese citizens in my country.
Jap post still isn't shipping EMS to the US, but courier should be fine.

I enjoy a Rolex as much as everyone else does. But, I believe a lot of people are wanting to see Rolex create a completely new watch. What that may be ? I am not sure. They clearly have their bread and butter, but what else can they do apart from pallet swapping ?

Their new OP's are equally as criminal, they almost seem to be trailing off of NOMOS's tail with the pride selection. And if you are going to do interesting colours, why not do more than just faces ? The color ranges are working incredibly well for GS with their seasons and various finishes.

People want to see Rolex do something out of their comfort zone. Notably, with the Rolex name, and to not hide behind Tudor. Even if AP, PP, and Vacheron all have their own experimental productions and their bread and butter.

Because the demand allows Seiko to charge more, since they know they will still have an audience.

It hasn't been a superpower with ancient roots since like well before the opium wars.

Ironically the scribbles are the most legitimate cultural connection to china's ancient civilization. No surprise that Mao would have it crushed, as Chinese emperors tend to do.

This is because they butchered their language for the sake of "simplified" Chinese. I don't know much about Chinese, but I'm guessing they did that purely to distance the modern soulless chinks from their ancestors.

lug to lug the sub is very reasonable at under 50mm. i’m certain the new sub is just as wearable as the previous incarnations.

aesthetics though is another subject, because i personally can tell the difference right away between the 40mm and 41mm case sizes. not just because of the literal increase in dimensions but the new sub has the hour markers more spread out.

in any case, it’s not like you’re going to lose money on the purchase, so your only concern should be weather you want to buy a new old stock Sub or keep the new one once you receive it.

You're not going to start a conversation with a woman with your watch. You might repulse them with something that fruity and ugly. Go with something classic. A subdued dress watch or field watch. Per other anon, start a conversation by complimenting something they are wearing or doing. If you seek attention you will repulse it. If you seek subdued class, you will get more attention attention.

I like my G-shock, but it's just too bulky for my wrists. My half decent quartz from back before they made everything out of plastic keeps time to about 10spm, and it's way easier to adjust than any digital, all I have to do is pull the crown out, wait until it's synced up, and push it back in. No fumbling with those shitty little Casio buttons and hearing those annoying beeps.

Well with this model of g shock, you literally never have to adjust the time or press any buttons, it uses the atomic clock thing so it resyncs nightly to the exact time, its perfectly accurate to the millisecond because military systems all rely on this atomic clock time.

G shocks are the peak of modern watch technology.
