I was under the impression that Sedna gold was an Omega exclusive, but it seems that they're expanding it to the rest of the Swatch group.

That's cool, unfortunately, the people working in thrift stores, swap meets, antique malls, and pawn shops in San Diego seem to be a bit too savvy.

I did chance upon a nice pocket watch from a...

Thanks, I saw a photo of one on a thread on WUS, and decided to search for one on eBay on a whim. The dial is quite interesting indeed, under a loupe, it appears very similar to the finish on the...

There's a certain irony to the authenticity of the watch being certified by the fact that it's too cheap... sort of like saying that it's too poorly put together to be a fake.

Looking at the...

So, my watch finally arrived, it is 34.8mm in diameter, 8.2mm in thickness. The dial might still be very slightly misaligned, but it's not really noticeable on the wrist. It was +2 min/day on the...

I've the 1931 Reverso, but I'm not a fan of the mesh bracelet. The OEM alligator or Shell Cordovan strap is the way to go.

Indeed, many of the things people say they use a chronograph for, like timing eggs or parking, would be better served with an alarm.

It's not too bad if it's a can, but once I forgot about the Coke in a glass bottle I left in the freezer, and that was a real mess to clean up.

Not at the same level, but when I first started out on WUS, I purchased a Seiko SARB035 based on the rave reviews, but I was very disappointed with the accuracy of the 6R15, which was much closer to...

Most of the truly expensive high-end watches are those with many complications, and my taste tends to be simpler. In particular, I don't like the busy dials that many of the ultra-complicated watches...

It's as easy as writing a check if you want the money to go to waste. The programs aren't equipped to handle that kind of infusion of money effectively without strong leadership. At the very least,...

My Orient 60th Anniversary watch, an absolute steal at the $250 I paid for it new from Orient USA.

It was pointed out on the other forum that the dial was a bit misaligned, so I pointed it out to the seller and hopefully it was addressed before they shipped out the watch.

I think it looks correct. It's identical as far as I can see to this one here:

I placed a bid on this Glashutte 09-20 watch that I believe is authentic and unrestored, and just won it for $105. I understand that it's not collectable, nor is it a particularly fine watch, but...

Is Journe part of the Swatch group?!

I'm not a fan, I don't think it fits well with the understated aesthetic that is typical of a dressier JLC.

Two Hamilton Khaki Fields (one automatic, one manual), and three Swatch automatics (including a blue Sistem51).

The main problem I have with date windows is that most of them are very awkwardly positioned, and that seems to be because most affordable watches use a handful of generic movements that were all...

That too, whoever is giving up a Milgauss for a Speedy Broadarrow is getting the short end of the stick.

Without knowing how much cash is involved, and the condition of the watches, it's hard to tell if it's a good deal. But, if your question is whether a Milgauss GV has more trade value than an Omega...

It shouldn't be too difficult to get an appropriate date wheel, since it's just an ETA 2824-2 movement.

Thanks for the kind words, it's truly a wonderful watch. I love the beauty of the hobnail bezel.

A substantial fraction of my watch collection consists of watches with no date. To me, I prefer the cleaner dial, and more symmetric layout. In particular, date windows often result in omitted hour...

I would also replace the crystal on the GMT IIC for one without the cyclops.
