Yes. It is understood by anyone (and it's probably in the manual) that chronos have no water resistance when using the pushers. That's why Rolex takes the next step and locks the pushers out with screws.

Full day like the daydate or weekdater is fucking magical. Mostly for sentimental reasons, you can really appreciate the day and all of the cool things that happened that day and look forward to what you're going to do tomorrow. Also it helps you establish your alibis.

It depends entirely on the watch. Anything rated 100m and up is probably good for anything from washing the dishes to the occasional tumble into a body of water, probably safe to swim in but generally not recommended on a regular basis if not necessary. Anything less than that should probably only be trusted with hand washing, even then be careful. With vintage watches don't trust water resistance at all.

At this price range you can't have Tudor level finishing, with the jump in quality that Rolex offers Omega needed to be at the top of their game. If they cannot handle it then they should be punching down at Tudor. At least their finish it better than Grand Seiko and Tudor.

Nevermind you need a high quality press for this, IIRC that looks like an Aerospace Titanium. For the stainless the metal is flexible enough where you can just snap the back case on with your fingers. With the titanium you cannot. Sorry about your dad, I bet he would be proud of you for taking such good care of his watch.

But yea you need to send it in or do it at a watch store which is much cheaper but you're also putting the watch at risk. A lot of watch stores, especially ones that sell Breitling tend to charge very little and does it pretty well. You do not need a full overhaul, just a simple battery change. You probably won't even need a new gasket since its only been one year.

Also, do you not understand at all the current opioid epidemic which was started my pharmaceutical companies?

No the movado was one i got a as a gift maybe 5-10 years ago. My dad did have a much smaller blue one (although to me it always seemed small enough to be a womens watch but think that was just the style). I wanted a the movado as a gift as i really like the minimal look of them. However after using it for a while its so annoying to tell the time on it i almost never wear it, really just with some kind of specific outfit which calls for a really minimal watch.

Being a watch snob is the dumbest fucking hobby. It's a meta-hobby; you can't make watches a hobby, because unlike say an art, or musical instrument there’s no ‘practice’ to engage in. It lacks a ‘verb’ to describe the act of engaging in the hobby. The lone thing you can consider a hobby is ‘collecting’, and specifically amassing a thematically aligned collection, like say Speedmasters through the decades. Anything else is just hoarding or confusing the accumulation of jewelry for something significant. Watches are a meta-hobby, in the same way people are now aroused by the idea of porn, more than the porn itself.

I mean, just look at the retarded image I posted. At no point since the 80’s is the Rolex a ‘working man’s daily driver’. That’s just a statement to make trust-funders and kids buying on credit feel good about their purchase.

The “hobby” is an endless parade of grifters, weird old men on YouTube, and young morons tricked into aspirational purchasing, convinced somehow that buying and wearing a specific watch will finally communicate their ‘place in the big leagues’ or communicate ‘who they are’, because they are incapable of communicating that through the actions and life they live.

All of this dumb enough on its own, but then you get the cherry on the shit sundae in which a parade of mountain-jews basically screw you endlessly with poor build quality, expensive servicing and a consumer experience that makes Walmart look class-leading.

It’s a dumb hobby. You’re better off spending time doing anything else other than thinking about watches. Buy a EcoDrive/Oceanus/G-Shock and then if you’re actually rich, buy a Rolex. Anything else is dumb cope unless you’re actually ‘own an estate’ tier wealthy.

>>17909528
I think the biggest issue is that despite how it looks no one will ask about it since they'll have to be pretty close/ pay pretty close attention to actually see that something is off about it. And they'll probably need to know about the Speedmaster to even be interested in the first place. Most you'll get is probably a "nice Swatch!" It'll probably peeve the wearer to death before then.

Reveal next thread, I am off for now. Got stuff to do. I will leave you with two things. I will probably never again buy anything else. The Grand Seiko that I bought is so, SO much better than everything else I own and or ever tried on. I feel like nothing else matters in the watch world and, sadly, the GS hype is real, and not overrated. My tudor feels like a toy in comparison, the others simply "exist" next to it, if that makes sense.
Obviously I have other pics too (non hookers this time, just my ex gf (not wife). But about the GS, absolutely no picture or video ever, will make it justice.

Are you going to get rid of your shitty watches? I know, for myself, once I bought my first Rolex, I couldn't bring myself to wear my other watches anymore.

No, Credor is just another sub-brand of Seiko. In terms of market positioning, Credor is supposed to be Seiko's Cartier, like Grand Seiko is Seiko's Rolex. Most of Credor's catalog is full of fashion-watch tier junk.

In the west, watch people only know Credor from the Eichi II and the Masterpiece Collection, which is made in Seiko's special Micro Artist studio. Those watches are made by a tiny number of highly skilled watchmakers. Some are branded Credor, others are Grand Seiko.

Probably because in the case of Swatch, those brands used to be independent of one another. Longines and Omega, for example. used to be competitors before the Quartz Crisis.

In the case of Seiko, it's like how Toyota has Lexus. They can try all they like, but a Lexus will never be anything more than an overpriced Toyota.
So trying to pretend like they're different companies would fool no one.

How useful are those spinny things that keep your watches going while you don't wear them? Let's say for a collection of 5.

[Anonymous No.17909574]

They're best for a collection of two. Wear one and put the other on the winder. If you have 5 you're either going to have to get 4 winders or it'll be largely pointless.
