Random watch thread 2

Longer service intervals in the future?

This can be interesting

It does sound interesting, but I fear it may be quite a ways off, and of course if it can’t be done retroactively to existing watches, well...

I’ve never heard of Massdrop. Has anyone used it? I’m quite tempted by the Glycine.

I have used them for electronics. They are legitimate. They negotiate deals with manufacturers/retailers for volume discounts and offer them through their site.

It'll be irrelevant for existing movements, yes.

I’ve never personally bought anything from there, but they seem legit. I’ve known people from other forums who have bought from Massdrop.

I haven't used it yet, but I'd have no problem buying from there if they had something of interest for me. Their deals aren't THAT amazing and you often can find similar discounts elsewhere but they sometimes have items that are hard to find elsewhere. For me, there's also the additional hassle of shipment to Europe and the governmental extortions that follow.

Re:Massdrop, you have to join before you can even see what they have.
Think I'll pass.

Not a biggie for me -- you have to create an eBay account, too, if you want to use it, etc.

This looks pretty cool

Oh, I like that. Electrostatic turbines, and yet reminiscent of The Flying Scotsman.
