The Watch Thread - Part 7

[arctuates]

Why is it a hassle?

good the morning guys

It's the start of a new week! Long weekend coming!!

Probably has been discussed to death at some point in time, but when you're not wearing your automatics, do you put it in a winder? I recently brought my watch for servicing, and was advised against it as it supposedly wears out the parts unnecessarily.

Between the hassle of winding it up and adjusting time/date again and the possibility of wearing out the parts prematurely, which do you choose?

convenience for me. I've got all my watches in winders.

haven't kena the sexpensive servicing yet, except for my wife's longines which didn't turn out to be too bad after 5 years. $100 per year of wearing it, inclusive of replacing the sapphire crystal.

An Omega moon watch with metal bracelet will cost ~ $6.8k.

If I remember correctly, the AD doesn't bring in moon watch with leather strap, so you will need to factor in the cost of getting a leather strap and the price varies based on type and quality of leather, etc.

$6850 to be exact.
i got mine grey at $4XXX
brand new in box

Hi guys,

So I'm seriously considering getting a Deepsea from SWX.

However, knowing that there will be a risk of buying a fake.

How to I tell a fake right from the start?

Saving me the hassle and money to have it authenticated?

Thanks!

U rather believe us than to spend $107 for the authenticity of a > 10K watch?

Not to say that people here aren't trustworthy (in fact most of the guys here seem to be pretty nice folks), but let's just say some $ not worth saving, espec when considering the proportion of the incremental cost to your overall cost and peace of mind that you would receive going to RSC.
