Re: Watches bought with inheritance money

I inherited three VC vintage watches and sold them to help pay for engineering school. Other than that I have not seen, nor will ever see, anything from anyone. At this point I just hope I’m not bankrupted paying for my parents, much less getting anything from them. I would think a watch bought with...

Re: Who's got a C63 Sealander with Hunter green dial? How much do you likeylikey?

I really like mine.

The bracelet is an awesome bracelet and the strap is really cool and totally transforms the watch.

Re: This is a first…

Just for the record, I’m not a fan of the strap going side to side. Probably don’t need it anyway, but don’t rely on that grip connection.

Mark on inside of glass - update - HELP

OK, so this seems to be going all over the place. First, is First Class Watches an authorized dealer for the watch that you bought? EDIT - I see yes it is. Second, is it under warranty? Third, are the marks that look like glares the blemishes that you see? I see several and can’t tell if I’m seeing ...

Re: Seiko putting value back ?

I do have a Japanese itch I've yet to scratch. The problem with Seiko? There's so bloody many of them so it gets really quite bewildering when trying to decide on a watch. The variants of models are bewildering, but you can do ok just focusing on the model you want and falling back until you pick a...

Re: Is it only me, or are used watch prices soft?

Federico from Delray Watches/Federico Talks Watches had a video a couple of weeks ago where he said that wholesale used watch prices were softening. He also said that the retail prices usually lag by a number of weeks. I think it is too early to tell whether or not this is a long term trend. He did...

Re: Large scale 4-day work week trial in the UK

I work a 4 day week, but not with reduced hours. I don't think I can ever go back to a 5 day work week. How does anyone ever get anything accomplished with only 2 days off? I'd rather do just about anything than go grocery shopping on the weekend. It's terrible and I feel bad for everyonr that has ...

Re: Fake Hamiltons are out there..Beware!!..

The hands are completely wrong and obvious if you know the watch. Sorry you got burned. It’s a reminder to everyone to be diligent and if you don’t know the watch really, really well, do research. And Etsy? Seems like a bad place to buy watches to me, but honestly it seems like a place for buying $....

Blue watches? What’s that all about??

I never see blue watches and rarely see blue cars. Weird.

Anyway, I like them both!

Is it only me, or are used watch prices soft?

I had a round of flipping watches about 6 months ago and prices seemed ok. I think the biggest factor right now is how many new and attractive models are coming out. It pulls people into new watches and away from preowned. Like all things, there will be a fad effect and new sales will slow down. Con...

Re: Why?

Just to be clear we're outraged by the tiny round bump in the canvas not the apparently missing end of the springbar? I would expect the dent to disappear as the strap bends and the fibres are pulled so that wouldn't bother me in the slightest. A non functional springbar would be an unacceptable QC...
