[Glashutte Original Panorama Date] Experience with Swatch Group US? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Too late, but if you can tell the service center to send it to Germany, do it.

Read the reviews over on WUS. From earlier this year, no updates, and took 8 months to service a watch.

Good move with the titanium.

I refuse to buy any watch that comes with bracelet that isn't titanium.

[Powermatic 80.111] Your experience with this movement regarding longevity? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Tissot isn't a high end brand. The movement is made to be cheap to swap out and reliable for the money. https://www.sguscustomerservice.com/

Can your watchmaker full service a SW200-1 for $195?

[Advice] Been on the fence about buying myself a "nice" watch. I saw this citizen discounted, what do you guys think? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Check that it's sapphire and also check the thickness. Some citizens are thicc bois that don't slider under most cuffs.

Also check out prices on OfficialWatchDeals on Ebay.

[Discussion] Hello! Should I buy a Tudor watch if I don’t have a Tudor AD in my country? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, don't buy any watch that has in-house movement unless you have an AD relatively close by. Not even having one in country is going to make warranty issues very difficult to resolve.

The AD makes servicing the watch a much easier process.

What box is that?

[Alpina Alpiner Extreme] Finally seen this in person! Opinions? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a good looking watch, I'd expect to buy it for 30% off at the citizen store tho. Maybe a bit more for a black friday sale.

Swatch Group has been putting out bangers these past few years!

They just need to focus more on their high end brands now

[collection] I want to start collecting watches in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

People are different and have different opinions in collecting. A watch you like now you may not like a year from now.

Best advice I can tell you is to try on a bunch of watches until you find one that you can't stop thinking about. Then wait 3+ months. Go try it on again and if you still feel the same a month later, get it.

Also if you're buying vintage, wait until next year. Prices are continuing to drop.

[Question] AD vs Secondhand in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There are some watch brands you should buy atleaat 1 from an AD because of special privileges. Tudor is not one of them.

[SOTC] What does my collection say about me? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're into space and retro design. Nerdy science guy. Prob like startrek over star wars. Prob like next generation over the other series

[Recommendation request] Which of these should I pick as my first swiss timepiece? in c/watches@style.land

[–] PDX-ROB@alien.top 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Those are 2 different watches. The Longines is closer to the Rado Golden Horse.

With that being said, if you're going to be wearing it all day everyday, consider something in Titanium or some other lightweight alloy. I have a bunch of watches I don't wear to work because the weight adds up
