I'd love some feedback, thoughts, and things to consider from the forum as I won't be able to see either of my choices in person.

Essentially, after TONS of research, i've narrowed my choice down to two options:

1) Sinn U50 fully tegimented on the bracelet (in the traditional black and red)…

Advice on a Dive Watch Decision (Pelagos FXD vs Sinn U50)

Two situations:

First one: the first watch I got when I started collecting (my seiko alpinist) is just one I never wear anymore. I still think it is a great watch and great looking, but as i've gotten more experienced with…

Sentimentality Vs Practicallity In Selling Your Watches

I was curious if anyone here has any thoughts on the Longines Spirit Zulu 1925? I really liked the look of the regular spirit zulu, and have been saving up to make it the next watch. I'm torn with sticking with my original plan of the spirit zulu versus going instead for the 1925 one. However, the local dealers only have the regular Spirit Zulu so if I got the 1925 i'd essentially have to order it online based just on what i've read online. So i'm curious for any people here…

Spirit Zulu Time 1925 feedback/Advice

The serial number is very worn away. I think it is 14_382. I wouldn't swear to that and i think theres a number worn away between the 4 and 3. It is definitely mechanical and does still work. It also reads "chelsea clock company…

Help identifying a clock

I'm curious looking at non-quartz mechanical in the affordable section (say sub 1k?) does anyone have any really unique or unusual watches with special complications they like? Im not looking for something to buy for myself (at least in the short term) so much as just to see some fascinating watches in this category! If anyone owns any?

Style wise you can get a sense from the pictures.

And if it is a trustworthy/well liked place from the reviews.

But I find I don't really know what im looking for in the sense of why one band is 150 dollars and another 30. OR what is a good…

So, the question is, how does power reserves actually work? As in, my understanding (from the always reliable internet) is that the watch doesn't just instantly stop, but as the power reserve runs out will start to slow down and then slowly come to a stop.

So im curious when you see a…

Other things ive had people told me are important basic tools are:

Accessories and Tools that are necessary?

So, got my first watches (loving them). Im just curious what exactly constitutes a watches 'papers'. I often see that referenced (papers and boxes) as something to make sure you save.

Are papers the receipt from when you bought it? Or is it more.. my watches came with like a warranty card and an instructors manual. Is that what folks mean? I hope the second as one of the watches was a gift…

Watch Papers question

So. Like many I suspect, I have gotten real into the watch craze the last few months, reading about them watching videos, researching, etc. I had never owned a 'real' watch before (a perfectly fine citizen quartz cheap beater i got in college but nothing mechanical).

As I got into watches, I started saving up money to buy my first watch. Probably annoyed…
