I like how this looks on my wrist, and how my skin tone matches it.......
Is it usual for perpetuals to be so tall?

But a modified ETA or other movement as long as it's 30% and above is considered a inhouse movement ?

No!

Where did u get the. 30%

 

[patryn33]

correction: i got ahead of myself. UN currently is not under swatch group.

in response to eta ebaches supply crunch, stowa, iirc have started to use their own designations for globally sourced movements to obscure their origins.

Your memory is failing u, please double check
Or just focus on Rolex, AP, PP don't comment on peasant brand. Lol
We know u see them no up

 

[patryn33]

Is there anything bad about Watch Companies owned by Swatch Group ?

Isn't it better in term of financial position ?

Better in terms of distribution, access to movement parts, financial too.

If one would see a brand differently, that's very subjective
No me, perhaps others would

peasant? they're the backbone of society and earn an honest day's wage - and are often underpaid. they have my respect.

i only deride the wannabes, posers, idle old rich layabout ignoramii & nouveau riche vulgar, brand ***** parvenus.

i respect seiko 5 for being a good for the money they charge and the great value it delivers.

while i pi55 on wannabe richard mille as a joke waiting to implode into a has been, just you wait and see. bad taste can only last so long just like the 70s fashion - the decade where style forgot.

and as far as b-uhr ww2 german pilot watches are concerned, i declare laco the true spiritual inheritor of that mantel. lange, wempe (both no longer produces fliegers), stowa & the laughable iwc must bow to laco for being as authentic to the original b-uhr as possible - especially the straight lugs and bead blasted case finish.

One of the watch maker in a retail 2nd hand shop told me.

He said any modified 3rd party movement 30% and above will be called inhouse movement by that brand.

Don't tell me I was smoked again..........................

Who just bought this ah.......? Sorry cant rem.....but here's a good read for your watch!

Brand whores stay away from this brand pls..

 

[pwillie]

At what age did you guys bought your first piece and what was it/occasion?

Omega seamaster quartz in 2001, still working amazingly....
no need occasion to get a watch

if you're considering the iwc perpetual calender, you may wish to consider the jlc master ultra thin perpetual calender. it's 39mm diameter & low profile is sized PERFECTLY for an elegant dress watch. plus its dial is so much cleaner, clearer & classier than the cluttered multi hand dials of the iwc behemoth.

and its price for a perpetual calender is just awesome compared with other similar offerings from other manufactures.

the pink gold & egg shell coloured dial with brown croc leather jlc would look good.
