So, a man walks into a watch store… (New arrival – Watch from underrated German brand)

Man: Hello, I am looking to buy a watch…
Salesman: Good afternoon good Sir! You came to the right place! What kind of a watch would you be interested in?
Man: Well… I only have one watch so far but I am generally interested in watches and was thinking of maybe buying another but I can’t decide what kind of watch I should buy. If I had a lot of money I would buy your entire store and call it a day but I am on a budget so I have to cut some corners and hopefully buy just one. I kinda…

Vintage late 1950’s Zodiac Sea Wolf.
My expert Zodiac repair man said it is a 2nd or 3rd generation, so I kinda estimate it in the very late 50’s.
What’s on your wrist today?

My watch collecting story

I decided to write about my own watch hobby now. I hope many people read this little story and learn something from it.

It all started in the summer of 2023. At that time, I already knew a little about watches, I had a battery-powered watch, but I wanted more. That’s why I decided to start collecting blueberries to earn money for my first watch. The original budget was 500-600€, but when I earned that amount, I couldn’t really find a watch I liked. When I was looking for a suitable watch…

Why doesn’t Jack Mason get as much love as other microbrands?

Looking through the specs of the new Jack Mason Pursuit Pilot and Canton, I am curious as to what holds back the community to purchasing over the likes of CW or even IWC (Mark XX) for that matter. The applied and lumed numbers + regulated La Joux Perre…

Is 44mm the maximum watch size for a good fit on my wrist?

Just collecting some opinions- does 44mm hit about the maximum size that would look decent on my ~6.9in. wrist? The L2L measurement is quite long on this particular watch at 51mm.

Some pictures – one taken from viewing perspective and one at a distan…

Hello. I’ve been interested in watches for as long as I can remember. My dad had a manual wind Universal Geneve that he’d let me “help” him wind when I was very young.

Only about 5 years ago I purchased my first watch. It’s a hand wound simple old Vostok. I recently had it serviced and it keeps good enough time.

A few months ago, I stumbled onto this forum. I lurked while looking for my next watch. I read high praises about Citizen’s Eco Drive so I…

List of AliExpress watch brands in order of “quality”.

Based only on online opinions and reviews, here is a list in order of “quality” I have put together of watch brands selling on AliExpress. I have no personal experience of all these brands, apart from Tandorio, Corgeut, and Addiesdive – which I think produce good watches.

Needless to say, this list is not definitive. I offer it only for discussion.

Feel free to suggest ones I’ve left out.

Top-Tier (High Reputation, Excellent Quality)

Please let me introduce you to the Austrian brand Viribus Unitis Watches (review included)

I have been into watches for roughly 45 years. One of my first watches was a Rolex Precision from 1956 which I bought on a flea market in Mainz. And I was already lost.

Fortunately I have had the outmost pleasure and opportunity to handle quite a lot …
