So if I'm getting this right, there are SOME Powermatic 80 movement variations that are good and have better quality parts. But those are reserved for Sinn or Hamilton and not something like the PRX?

[Anonymous No.17885555]

>>17885544
yeah

[Anonymous No.17885556]

>>17885544
Yes.

C07.1xx; these have plastic components
C07.6xx; these replace the plastic parts with metal
C07.8xx; these add a silicon balance spring

The Tissot PRX, for example, uses the C07.111 (plastic parts) while the Tissot SeaStar 1000 uses the C07.811 (silicon escapement)

They're all Powermatic 80 movements, but they're different grades.

[Anonymous No.17885558]

>>17885556
The tissot gentleman also uses the silicon escapement. It genuinely seems like an excellent watch, too bad PRX stole its thunder.

[Anonymous No.17885559]

>>17885556
To add to this, sometimes you have to dig a little to find what the base caliber of a watch has.

The Longines Ultra-Chron, which beats at 36,000 vph, houses the L836.6 caliber, but that is simply a modified C07.811, with the increased beat rate reducing the power reserve to 52 hours.

Definitely. It's a very versatile piece. 100m WR, screw-down crown. I think the text on the dial at 6 o'clock is a little cringey and they were clearly just looking to put some text there to make it look more like a Datejust.

At 580 USD, grey market price, that's a steal.

[Anonymous No.17885577]

>>17885544
Yes, That's why most anons in /wt/ advocate for the Quartz PRX. Powermatic 80 in its basic form isn't a super outstanding movement andt the usage of plastic parts fucks it hard. If they break, the service is most likely going to be throwing the old movement into the fuck it bucket and just putting in a new one.
Serviceability post warranty is also important.

>That's why most anons in /wt/ advocate for the Quartz PRX
truthfully most anons advocate for the quartz version simply because it's most faithful to the 70s reference that inspired it, while the automatic versions' tapisserie dial just makes it look like a knock off Royal Oak.

With regards to serviceability, they can be serviced by any competent watchmaker. They're just slightly modified ETA 2824's, which is one of the most common movements in history. REGULATING it is much more of a pain in the ass but it still can be done. Plus, regulation is not always necessary when servicing a movement. Most often, simply cleaning and re-oiling the movement is enough to make it run within spec.

If the plastic component breaks, that's a different matter, but plastic components were used in Omega Speedmasters for years without catastrophic failure rates.

Now, what Tissot does is not throw the movement out, it simply speeds up the service procedure by replacing the movement, sending you your watch back, then refurbishing the movement. Some people are bothered by that but they lose sight of the fact that it's a Tissot, it's meant to be cheap, and a full traditional service would cost as much as the watch itself, which would lead to people not servicing the watch at all, having them run like shit, and hurting Tissot's reputation.

A VC model, basic "entry level" tier aka nothing special or rare, I've been looking at for years is being found with decreasing 2ndhand prices with more regularity than ever.
I only ever check the price of this one model from this one brand, so I was wondering if watches any of you guys follow have also been on a downward trend as well?
Presumably not including Rolex? I've not kept up with what's going on with that brand.

Doing yard work today so will be utilizing my rusty Leatherman of 20+ years and SKX shitter. The thing I think is fast by a few mins at this point. One of the thing I want to mention is how much I like this wallet, the leather is really high quality. I know I'm shilling for this brand which might or might not be pajeet since a lot of them are made in the UK but recently they're all coming out of India, but I think its still a good wallet. People somehow confused me saying its Drake brand when its not.

Not that dude but it's hard to not go for the Omiwatari. The Kanro has a similar pattern, albeit black so it needs to be exposed to sun or bright light for the pattern to stand out, and when it does, it's beautiful.

The Omiwatari and the Snowflake dials don't need these lighting conditions for their dial patterns to shine.
