Re: New Longines LLD — 39mm
$3200??? :lol: :lol: :lol: With my limited yet horrible experience selling my used Longines I discovered that the Suggested part of MSRP is heavily emphasized. I barely got 40% of mSrp back selling LNIB legend diver. Lesson learned, don’t test drive Longines. Instead own it love it keep it lol I th...

Downloaded the Fora app today. WUS is a necessity for sales, at times. That said, the app sucks. Not surprised. Not to bump an old thread, but I just had the oddest interaction with someone on WUS trying to buy a watch I have up for sale. The guy had only 2 posts but was a member since 2020. I said...

Re: New Doxa LE from Dubai Watch Week
I really like it. I'm just not certain I like it 2X the cost of a standard 300T. Glass half empty / Glass half full analysis is Glass half empty: At the $3,500 price point, I'm probably going to be cross shopping a Tudor Black Bay which will offer a COSC movement and the brand assurance that they wi...

Re: suggestions: a watch for an 11 yr old boy
My son at around that age had a Freestyle "Shark Leash" digital watch.
They are bright colored "surfer" style digital watches.

Another old one from the back of the watch box. The 2893-2 is such a smooth winding movement.

Re: Long term car ownership
I get the double whammy of living in NH and on the seacoast, so I get both salted roads and salted air. I got 12 years out of my old Tacoma, but I was diligent in getting the chassis oil undercoated every fall, so I had minimal rust. My wife's Pilot made it 13 years before the rust and maintenance c...

I think it is a little easier if the watch has a GMT hand, but the process works just fine with a 3 hand watch as well.

Re: Ares Watches
Admittedly, it’s a very nice product on the wrist. I feel lucky because all four of mine were tanks. For the most part, the walls and rails that I hit with the watches faired much worse than the watch itself. They have a nice style, (mine were) tough as nails, fantastic lume, and one of my personal...

Re: Ares Watches
I think you’re missing two key demographics: - actual Operators; who may not be watch dorks but who do like good pieces of kit. If not a watch guy, then may jump in based on good experiences of others they know. - wanna-bes; who are definitely not Operators or LEO’s, but wish they were. These guys ...

Re: Ares Watches
What I find interesting (assuming the instagram comments were directed at this thread) is the reaction to constructive criticism. It seems there is a flat denial to what seem to be legitimate issues brought up by known level-headed individuals. The folks voicing their experiences aren’t “Karens” mak...

it seems like he just wanted to take the military/CIA thing and turn it into a cash grab. He seems oblivious to the issues with defective watches and aggravated customers and chooses not to address them at all. While all young brands have growing pains, at this point he should have been able to fig...

Re: Matt’s SPB383
On a side note......Interesting architecture on my (and many) vintage Heuer and Rolex GMT's is that the GMT hand is / synched / slaved / matched to the hour hand so there is no independent movement of either the GMT or the hour hands.....with the older ones, you just slide the bezel around to the G...

Re: Matt’s SPB383
Thanks for the info on the GMT function guys. Both styles work, but I’m so use to the Rolex style jump hour hand that when I see the GMT hand jump, it always throws me a bit. Yes, I agree, although I started with the “jumping” GMT hand ETA2893-2 and only recently experienced the the jump hour style...

Re: Ares Watches
I have to admit I am saddened to hear this. Mine is still running strong last I checked, but my wife took it over so it really doesn't see much abuse. She actually prefers her Fitbit thing, so if I looked, I bet I'd find mine sitting in the back of her dresser someplace. I did notice Ares has starte...

Re: Matt’s SPB383
Definitely looks good next to MM300. I think thinner is a welcome difference.

The case thickness difference is definitely noticeable on t...

Re: Matt’s SPB383
IMG_7711.jpeg Just to add, here is an example of one of those SWATCH GMT movements in my Certina. On this watch, with the crown in the second position, you can adjust the hour hand forward or backward. The GMT hand, minute hand, and seconds hand stays moving while you adjust the hour hand.

Re: Matt’s SPB383
The Hopster is correct. This movement operates similar to the ETA 2893-2, where in the second crown position the GMT hand jumps in the one hour increments (the date advances when the crown is rotated in the opposite direction). The crown's third position sets the local hour and minute hands. I haven...

Matt’s SPB383
Just began my time with Matt’s SPB383 and am very impressed. The watch came on one of Art’s canvas straps, but I swapped in an Isofrane to make certain everything stayed clean and pristine while I wore the watch. First, I think the size is nearly perfect. It is a hair smaller and thinner than the MM...
