Re: What is up with watch prices?

The 114300 will continue to appreciate in value, the Halios will not. And, based on my experience, I would expect the Rolex to keep time and be water tight without service 20 years from now. Rolex is expensive due to marketing. However, Rolex is also expensive because it's not "Swiss made" with par...

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver

I like it but got burned by the wonky pre-ordering system Synchron had for their Military version. I am not a Sychron hater, just not interested in how they do business.

Re: Interesting HODINKEE article describing the “middle class” of watches.

How disconnected from society is the author to think that a 1k+ watch is middle class? The article is fine, I suppose, heavy on the Swiss and a token nod to Japanese watchmaking. I think the author's social circle probably doesn't include a lot of blue-collar Americans.

Re: What you got for <$1000?

Don't get used or vintage. That's more trouble than its worth especially if its a gift. I would hit up SeiyaJapan or Gnomon and get a nice Seiko Tuna. Decent battery life, durable, and a piece that is original

Re: Best?

Tropic strap by the same manufacturer as Isofrane. I think it has a nice vintage vibe along with being supple and high quality. I think it meets the mark when looking for something a little more sophisticated than the Iso.

Re: Synchron 70’s Military Homage

Yeah I don’t see how this situation is like Oliver at all. That’s your opinion. I happen to similarities in a promised product that includes timelines only for them to be missed and then the manufacturer not being honest with customers. But like I said. Your opinion.

Re: Synchron 70’s Military Homage

I can appreciate what Synchron has done but I had to cancel my order for a SS version. The delays, with the lack of transparency and communication, left a bad taste in my mouth. Cool watch and I am sure will be a cult (re) classic but this whole mess reminds me of Olivier. For the old timers with so...

Re: Synchron 70’s Military Homage

I ordered one soon after they were released. Wanted a Doxa 300T but the price of the Synchron was too good to pass up. Got the Isofrane as well because it’s so comfortable. Really look forward to having it in hand.
