    round or rectangular?

    possibly... but out of 10 people who will wear such a round watch, no matter how complex it is, the world around will notice the 11th who will wear a Reverso. Because it is different, because it is not part of the majority, because it does not align with the majority. Different things always...

    I find myself somewhere in what you say, and I agree that with the advancement of the era of technologies, something is lost including in horology..... I was actually reading some reviews about the latest Code 11.59 release by Audemars piguet. Practically, the entire community of watch lovers...

    Code 11.59 Audemars Piguet.... what do u think?

    it's so hard for me to criticize AP, when I'm so loyal to it... but I can't say anything other than that Code collection really still has a lot of work to do... I find the chronographs so hard to read, that I can't believe that AP made them... 3-handers seem pretty ok to me, until I saw how much...

    6 questions about watches I can't figure out

    And if you still want and have patience to read about the pros and cons, here's what I have to say πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ EVERYTHING DEPENDS on the application technique and the professionalism of the producer. it depends on the thickness of the layer, the correct method, the correct processing temperature...

    DLC, you already know the full name, @$BarHat$ . the material itself includes hybridized carbon atoms. the purpose of DLC is to protect surfaces through the vapor deposition process and its properties are more or less similar to those of genuine diamond. consequently, it is not difficult to...

    6 questions about watches I can't figure out

    PVD has already existed in the industry for a very long time, since 1840, approximately. It refers in particular to a vacuum deposition after which a layer of vaporized material is applied. it is used not only for watches, but also for various other surfaces. in watches, this technique usually...

    vintage vs modern! help me figure it out!

    I don't know how Mercedes cars ended up being discussed here more than vintage watches, but in the end.... let me add my 3 pennies.... in modern watches, I love their corpulence and the sense of security and quality that they exude. even in these 2 Nautilus. it seems to me that the modern watch...

    Vacheron or Patek reps?

    it's hard for me to give my opinion without knowing which models we're talking about... for me personally, both give me the same impression of prestige, notoriety, and value. I would be equally surprised to see either a genuine Patek or a Vacheron. i love them both. for this reason, it would be...

    Solid vs open caseback

    my message was not to skip the movements, but to take things gradually. otherwise, a total mess is created in the head. and I think it is impossible to "read" inside movements as soon as you enter the watch hobby right away. that takes time, a lot of time. meanwhile, Eddie could focus on the...

    Solid vs open caseback

    after all, it's not about how much a watch lover knows or not. it's about how brands can demonstrate that their watches really are a true masterpiece. you can't just go to a store and ask the assistant to disassemble the watch just to show you how beautiful or not the mechanism is. so it's more...

    @Eddie you will hear different opinions here for sure and it is not excluded that you will be confused even more) so it would be good to understand what exactly you are looking for in your watch, be it replica or original. Try to answer a few questions: how important is the budget for a watch...

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

    I see no problems with this model, really. lovely piece to me! that is, it is unique enough not to be confused with a rolex, and obvious enough on the hand, to feel present and attract attention. but not in an exaggerated way. after all, maybe that's the trend to make taller watches...

    Tag Heuer as a brand. Any thoughts?

    lolπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I don't really resonate with this brand to be honest. I don't even know much about the technical aspects because I didn't get to them, the watches didn't pass the aesthetic test 😁😁😁 personally, rather than spending 3k on a Heuer, I would probably go for the option of a preowned tudor or...

    Creaky strap when moving (Seiko)

    first time to meet such a situation 🧐🧐🧐🧐 I suppose that the dealer that sold u the rep didn't even know about this issue before u told him... like he's not checking every rep that he sells I suppose 🀨🀨.. Im inclined to think that it might be a factory issue...,either the watch was stored in...

    Strap change confusions.

    like the NATO straps, but I don't see them appropriate for all watches, and I just can't imagine your Hamilton with a NATO, specifically for the design. The dial of you gen is a ttalbeauty, don't eclipse it by a NATO strap, 'cause the watch will become a messy piece. nato options go well with...
