    how do you deal with scratches on your watches?

    I have never polished my watches and I never will. I don't intentionally aim for them to get scratches, but let them "mature" and "age" at their natural pace. so I don't fanatically preserve their initial condition, nor do I run after the patina... it forms as it does by itself... if scratches...

    Solid vs open caseback

    well, yes and no, actually... if it's about a watch to exhibit its beauty through the intricate mechanism, why not opt for a skeleton watch. it does exactly what you say: it displays the beauty of its mechanism. and you can see it all along the way. the open caseback is a bit nonsense. it's like...

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

    yep, on the same page here.... things should be considered per ensemble. in most cases, the difference actually lies in the mid case, no matter the proportion itself. a BB of 14mm might be looking absolutelly different from a Speedmaster, for example, of the same thickness..

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

    someone complains about how differently the chronographs operate compared to the original models. someone else complains about the fact that the battery of the replica chronographs runs out very quickly. someone complains about the fact that some of the subdials are usually frozen and don't...

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

    pretty sticky thread for me! thanks for that! only that it seems to me that all the Chrono movements mentioned here seem to be too beatufil to be true. I mean, all are praises for their good functionality. at the same time, there are so many chrono reps that works terribly bad. what's the point...

    Rep, ruined my watch perception!

    I don't see anything wrong with what @CosmoS wrote!!!!! he is right to a certain extent. imagine that you always had an original iPhone. switch to a chinese one now, to the best of the Chinese versions!! . Will you find it as flawless as the gen Apple? ? I do not think so. You will immediately...

    Domed or flat sapphire?

    I also had watches with doomed sapphire. these have a specific charm, to be honest. the flat ones seem to lack something... as if they lack air..... aesthetically speaking, they are more appreciated than flat sapphire. to me, a flat sapphire looks just as silly as printed hour markers. As if...

    How to get away with condensation?

    not always an authentic watch is the solution... I previously had an authentic Shinola Runwell Station Agent and it gave me more headaches than my cheap (and good) replica. even if it had a Swiss mechanism and the watch seemed to be quite good and reliable according to many users. EACH TIME...

    800$ for a Daytona rep: is it a reasonable price?

    wy do u keep thinking that good stuff necessarily has to be expensive?! I got a 150$rep, including shipping, and still so happy about it...I could accept a high price if it were about a recently released rolex model. but here we are talking about 116500 BTF, which has already been on the market...

    do you trust reps ads?

    guys, sorry, my question may be stupid, but there's something that doesn't connect in my head... I keep reading the comments of this thread and I have the impression that for many of you, the advertisements promoted on social networks flow continuously in your profiles... personally, i have...

    Lefty Reps: how do they feel?

    a lefty here....πŸ«‘πŸ˜‰ since I was a little boy, my parents noticed my tendency to do everything with my left hand, they made me, in a playing manner, do things with my right hand, in order to "correct" the problem. I don't know why, but man years ago, people considered this characteristic as a...

    cheap reps. Any chances?

    cheap might be good for very veeeeery simple models, and on quartz mechanism. I personally have a Tissot Tradition T063.610.16.038.00 replica. and before buying it, I had the same doubts as you, and everyone told me I was an idiot, wanting to get a replica. I'm still happy that I took it, and I...

    gimme some big watches, please!

    big watches are a big deal 😎😎 love the way they look, so bold and severe πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ😎😎😎 Love the GBD-800UC-3ER G-Shock G-Squad. Maybe not so big in diameter, but the whole construction is a gorgeous giant due to the thickness and bold bezel. Looks like a beast to me, and the green army matte resin case...

    When is the watch service required?

    the internet is full of information on the subject of timely repair of watches, and yet, people do as they please, without paying much attention to these recommendations... πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ this topic is somehow individual... for many, the watch is just an instrument that shows the time, and they will...

    vintage/preowned/new/replica?

    @tOOkano$$$ have you made a decision already, or can I still put in my 5 pennies? replica watches are a good option for when you can't afford a good original watch. a replica watch is welcome when you madly love a popular Swiss brand and do not accept micro-brands. a replica watch is welcome if...
