The Watch Thread - Part 6

[DSmith]

please dont tell me you wore your sub around with the bezel protector on...

Of course not I usually just wipe it down at the end of the day and put the bezel protector on before putting it back into the box. Got a new 'box' though

Got it from K2, really silent. My only complaint is the foam holding the watch doesn't look like it'll last long.

3m scotch guard. Cut and apply

 

[Strawberry_Cream]

Argh... only been a week and scratches are already starting to appear on the bracelet. How do you guys deal with scratches, especially on gold watches or brushed finishes? I heard there's a 3M tape you can paste on your watches like a screen protector

I hope your watch is not real.

Scratches in 18k gold is really *^}^|€\€|£

Hooted this to temporarily suppress my hunger for watches...

The quality seems to be rather good for the price, I must say

sea-gull, china brand. they have tourbillons which cost only a few k, don't know whether they are real tourbillons or not. probably not.

not sure if i've seen any evidence about it, but perceptions are such. price wise it leaves alot to be discussed. standard movements can be produced en masse to lower costs, but tourbillions production requires skilled craftsmen.

fyi a significant swiss watch company raised a complaint to the Basel organizers when the the chinese debuted their tourbillion and double tourbillion movement a few years back, citing "copycat issues".

the Basel organizers investigated and concluded that the swiss were ramblings were unfounded, the chinese allowed to continue exhibiting.

For 8k is it a gd deal for grey bnib set?

I just wish they put a reserve indicator at the back or something.

i believe this one in the pic is called an open heart flying wheel.

and yes sea gull have real tourbillions that even the swiss are envious about - see post above.

when the distinctive chinese tourbillions were announced 5-6 years ago (patented design) it sent shockwaves throughout the watchmaking world.

-SeaGull USA

268. got promotion now. Yup, exactly the same as the one in the link.

The display back is not much to look at, the movement isnt even decorated I wonder why they even bother.
