If your still good friends just sit on it. If you're not...toss it.

[Swatch] X Blancpain seems to be a dud in c/watches@style.land

[–] Astropin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What immediately turned me off is they are not serviceable. If it breaks down...which it will...you get to toss in the garage.

It ebs and flows for me...kind of on a high right now. Selling/buying...just regulated two of my watches.

[question]If you had 6k budget what watch would you get? in c/watches@style.land

For that you could get a mint but pre-owned Zenith Chronomaster Original (El Primero).

[Zenith] Why does Zenith have such poor brand recognition and lack of prestige among laypeople/non-watch people? in c/watches@style.land

[–] Astropin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Among non watch people? You could say this about every brand besides Rolex. Sad, but true...and I do not own a Rolex, but I do own a Zenith.

[–] Astropin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do not overlook a Grand Seiko. Might be the best quality to price ratio out there.
