[Question] Best watches for $4k in c/watches@style.land
[–] HeatFireAsh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d say Tudor black bay 58, I’d definitely go with this is I was in your position. Also the Longines spirit collection has been killing it lately, so check them out too

[Omega] Does it make sense to get a moonwatch when I don’t believe the moon landing was real? (alien.top)
 

I’m a big fan of the Omega speed master moonwatch and I’d like to get one but I’m also a big skeptic of the moon landings and because omega claims it was the first watch on the moon it might be weird buying one. I don’t know maybe I’m just crazy. What should I do here?

[Question] Tudor Ranger vs Sinn 856 (alien.top)
 

Looking at both of these watches to add a rugged tool watch to my collection and I am wondering what every ones opinions are of the two.

Tudor Ranger

$3200

  • Cosc certified in house movement
  • I actually prefer no date on a tool watch
  • Personally I like the design a little more than the Sinn

Sinn 856

  • $2540
  • Tegimented case
  • Sellita movement

Beyond being cheaper the hardened case on the Sinn seems really nice but I do appreciate the finishing and in house movement on the Tudor. I can also try on the tudor first as there is an AD near me but I can't do that with the Sinn. What would be your pick?

[Discussion] What is the average price you're willing to pay for a watch? in c/watches@style.land

I think it largely changes for where you are in life and what you can afford.

I started with an $80 invicta when I was in college and I loved. After I got decent job and saved up I bought a Sinn 104 for about $1500. Got a promotion and sold the Sinn to buy a Breitling for $3000. This year I got a generous bonus for closing a big job and bought a Zenith defy skyline for $5800. I never really set a limit for myself its always had to do with what I like and what I can afford. I'm currently looking at a Mido multifort big date right now thats $1200, despite being less than my other watches its still on my list, price doesn't always mean better. Watches are very personal so just get what you like and don't worry if you can afford APs and Rolexs, there are very good watches for cheap out there and your seiko is one of them.
