I keep seeing people on forums repeat accusations that "Swiss watches are a scam" and that they are "rebadged Chinese parts", however no-one ever seems to be able to provide any tangible evidence for this.
I get that some specialis…
Continue readingZodiac or ball?
Guys I’m looking at treating myself to a new watch, I’m currently torn between 2 – the zodiac supersea wolf compression and the Ball engineer green berets rainbow. Has anyone got any experience or opinions? Both have pros and cons at the moment I’m leaning towards the ball on the basis of it being limited to 1 of 1000 and the brilliant gas indices…..but the zodiac is cheaper and they seem to hold value better for some reason?

How much patina is too much?
This is the second or third Gruen precision 510 I’ve owned and the plate is really starting to go on the case, particularly up around 10-11:00. Also the lugs are looking a bit gouged and thin. Granted this watch is older than my father, still runs pretty well, and only gets in the rotation sometimes in casual summer settings, would you keep it in this state or try to have the case touched up or just try to get another example?[ATTACH…

I sold my watch on Reddit watch exchange to this dude in Canada that had no transactions. He use PayPal goods and services and he comes back to me with this nonsense. It was packed fine and shipped via FedEx. Is this type of crap common?

Continue readingExperience with Sugess Tourbillion?
I’ve become interested in this watch, it’s a beauty, especially at this price. But, I have a concern. It’s 41mm which is larger than I normally wear in a 3-hander. 37 – 38 is my sweet spot. I do have tool watches, a dive watch and a chronograph, that are 42mm, but I’m ok with those kinds of watches at that size. I could pull off 41mm if I wanted to, but my concern is that the white dial and narrow bezel will make it wear much bigger, more like 43mm…
New Arrival!
Yesterday I posted a TB article on the Casio Forester. I was smitten so I ordered one yesterday for less than $22+tax on Amazon & it arrived today! I mean it is what it is – an inexpensive quartz watch. But for $20, it will be a great little guy to…
