    VALENTINES DAY WATCH FOR MY GIRL!

    what about a Royal Oak Ladies? I love these watches and I think any woman would love them. these usually come with a grand Tappieseire dial. the colors are extremely different, pure white, or chocolate, or black or blue, or gray 😁. besides that, the watches have the iconic octagonal bezel. this...

    Best case shape?

    it seems to me that if you focus only on one type of case, you get bored at some point. you are welcome to experiment with different forms of watches. Besides, you have no way of knowing which one suits you better. and when you go from round ones to square and rectangular ones, the experience of...

    how to build a watch collection? what to consider?!

    here are some ideas that could help you structure your collection: - you can collect watches based on different types of dials: grand tappiserie, petite tapisserie, ghilloche and all types that exist out there) personally, I would be curious to see them in different watches and compare them)...

    Quick overview on movements found in rep watches! NEED TO KNOW!

    oh my heavens, where were you a few years ago when I was desperately looking for information about the types of movement in replica watches? I remember that any dealer you asked, they all said the same thing: "it's a very reliable and trustworthy mechanism" 😂😂😂 and I, like an idiot, sat and...

    Tag Heuer as a brand. Any thoughts?

    I'm afraid I don't really resonate with it.... if I had 4k USD available, I don't really think I would give them for a HEUER..;..NO offense here, it's just that the design doesn't catch me by no ways...

    Black Bay Pro Tudor vs Pelagos!!! my own insight

    I don't really understand why the people is so attached to Pelagos, if the proportions are about the same. or am I mistaken somehow? Pelagos 14.3, while BB is 14.8. And 41mm for the BB, while 42mm for Pelagos. I mean, there is some difference. but is it really that considerable? For me...

    Solid vs open caseback

    I don't like them and I don't see the meaning behind the transparent watches backs. It's as if a piece of BMW construction is transparent to show me how the engine works and how high-quality it is. bullshit.... I trust genuine brands and it's no sense for me to see the piece of metal spinning...

    Grip watch, 27 mm, really?

    oh, here's another model from the "I'm drawing hell knows what, and I'll sell this as a brand accessory" series. 😖😖😖 NOT EVERYTHING THAT HAS THE BRAND STAG ON IT IS REALLY A VALUABLE PIECE! stop thinking that everything created by the big brands is truly valuable! this is not a watch! and...

    Domed or flat sapphire?

    it's a matter of style and personal taste, I guess... it depends on the watch design itself. the same watch can look both ugly or nice with only changing the type of xtal. it's like the Chopard gran Turismo series that comes with a reverse cyclops, if you want. i never stand cyclops and here...

    Best case shape?

    personally, as a lover of watches under 40mm, all goes good for me. Be it square, round, or rectangular, I love trying different shapes, as I just get tired and bored of the same shape. do people even get stuck to one single type of shape?!

    Useless/Useful complications

    a little condenscending your comment about moon phase complication. You omit the Muslim population from the radar, 1 out of 5, I guess, follow rigorously the lunar cycle because of their religious dates, events etc. the whole Islamic calendar has the moon phases and cycles as a foundation. And...

    Complications in watches!!!

    I never could understand HOW is it possible to create calendars for 100 years in advance, considering the leap year!!!! especially, it's amazing how Patek and other big names integrate such constructions into tiny pieces looking fabulous... that's why I love haute horlogerie!

    which watch holding groups are better? Swatch vs Richemont

    Tbh, I align better with Richemont over the swatch. Except for some big names in the Swatch group, it seems that all the watchmaking houses are micromanaged to follow a very close product concept, more or less. In contrast, I find Richemont more libertine in the good sense, I mean the brands...
