I’m going to try to make a long story short, but let me know if you have questions.

I took an old railroad pocket watch with a wind indicator to a local watchmaker that came recommended by a local antique shop. When I got the call that the watch was ready for pick up, the wind indicator was not functional. He held onto the watch for further repair.

I do not recall the exact date, but it was November or December 2023. In classic fashion, he kept assuring me it would be ready next week. On…

What if WatchUSeek imposed tariffs on certain threads?

Besides the majority vote to impose them on my posts, what thread topics would you impose tariffs on?

It was the multiple posts of the same photo of the same watch on multiple WRUW thread variations that got me thinking of a dual tariff on the threads themselves, as well as the members who post the same photo across them all.

I was glancing at the watch sales aggregator otherwise known as WatchRecon. Every WatchUSeek source shows @Russ1965 as the only seller on the forum. I never realized our own @Russ1965 had a monopoly on sales here! And why doesn't he share all his watches with us?

Oh...might be a problem with WatchRecon. Again. "A" for Effort? Or "E" for Error?

Inspired by @VaEagle ‘s “Watch Ambassador” thread, I wondered which WUS members you associate with ONE specific watch? Considering that most of us have several watches, this may be a difficult exercise, but I thought of a few to start.

Just noticed WUS member @vaultdweller ’s user name and chuckled. Then it dawned on me I don’t recall ever seeing a list of Rolex Opposites. So here’s what popped into my head, after noting the Sea Dweller would be appropriately called the Vault Dweller...

Has anyone here purchased a watch that was considered an homage to a far more expensive original design, for the purpose of determining whether you would buy the original?

It seems to me most people will purchase an homage because they like the style but do not want to pay so much more for the original design. But I imagine there are some who purchase an homage to determine whether or not they want to spend the money for the original design? If so, did the homage…

My preference for chronographs is evolving again. For years it was whatever caught my eye. Then it was IWC. Then Sinn. Now I’m looking for chronographs with the minute counter at the center of the dial. Nice segue for the Sinn collection as I kept two with the modern SZ01 (modified 7750) and “reclaimed” a third with the Lemania 5100. I also added an unusual “stealth” center minute counter with no pushers or sub dials (Habring2 Chrono COS ZM).
I have another on the way that I’ll post when it…
