    Hi, guys, In the last period, I was thinking about a Submariner vintage watch. The main priority is to be a versatile one, for daily use, including a good water resistance profile. A new one wouldn’t be to my liking Ince I’m kinda attracted by the vintage patina id like to see on my watch. One...

    is there anything u would change in Rolex vector if u were its CEO?

    gosh you're so wrong, so wrong... Its not only watches Rx does phenomenally, it’s also the big projects it was involved in throughout its history… It has broken the sound barrier in ’47, climbed Everest, and mapped climate Changed in 2007. And the Daytona Cosmo IS a horological art. Seems that...

    Pre-Owned AP: tips to consider

    Might sound like hokey cokey maybe, but one must pay increased attention to the seller. Scammers can also be infiltrated in the pre-owned watches’ buying-selling schemes as well. Watch out for how it presents the watch, how much he knows about it, what’s the price, warranty, return, etc… and of...

    CF Daytona rep Advice

    be careful with the case back... if you reach the dealer, ask if the movement is 4230 for sure and maybe e he can bring u some warranties on it... at least you can go to the watch smith knowing for sure what movement is it

    with 95% similarity of reps, would u still opt for a gen?

    actually bought my Millgaus rep to make sure I resonate with it enough. couldn't have risked having a gen one without knowing how things would "work between us". sometimes you want something so much and once u have it, the passion vanished and u remain indifferent to it. But sometimes the...

    Rolex or Grand Seiko?:D

    :D grabbing some popcorn until the Rx fans stack here :D Actually, watches from both brands can easily co-exist in a collection. From my perspective, Grand S performs some better finishing skills, and also makes great dials and indices. Some are even much better than Rx. As for the design of...

    is there anything u would change in Rolex vector if u were its CEO?

    Its connection with the end user was and is terrible. It does great and sometimes aggressive marketing compared to its competitors and the marketing is efficient enough o catch the public attention. The public attention is caught successfully, but when it comes to really have a piece, the...

    What feature would make u NOT buy a watch?

    There are also people that I dislike when seeing how tragically they combine their watches with their looks or styles. For example, I’ve seen a couple of bold men with big wrists in Lisbon wearing tiny watches that looked awful on them. So people need to know how to correlate their looks with...

    timepiece or statement piece?

    I combine both of them… owning a couple of statement watches and a couple of simple daily pieces… it pisses me off when I see people going to the market and wearing statement pieces as if they were Watch Gods. Wearing shorts and flip-flops along with a statement watch looks cringe and nothing...

    absolutely yes, and feeling proud about it... many of my close people have inspected one of my reps, the swiss clone Milgauss and remained overwhelmed about the close looking o the gen. speaking out loud about it is an opportunity to educate other people about this hobby, letting them know that...

    Rep movements

    For as much as I know, Chinese manufacturers have consistently improved their techniques for making movements. They progressed a lot not only in copying or cloning but manufacturing them. Didn’t hear many complaints about them when referring to simple calibers with no plenty of complications...
