[Question] Watch band a good color? in c/watches@style.land

[–] StanislasChauvin@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Color combo looks quite cool actually. I think I've seen this watch in a video and I believe that's technically the first apple watch although I could be wrong.

[Vaer A3] Thinking about getting this Vaer automatic as a daily beater. Thoughts on its movement? in c/watches@style.land

[–] StanislasChauvin@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The Miyota 9015 movement is considered to be reliable and the big range you see about the movement's accuracy indicates the most time you will possibly gain as well as the most you will lose. In reality you will probably get around+-7s/day which is quite good honestly, especially for the price.

[Question] Good chrono under 500€ in c/watches@style.land

[–] StanislasChauvin@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The Lorier Gemini series II might be worth considering. It's just under 500 and has a seagull st19 movement.

Congrats. I've been hearing a lot about this lately so I'm hesitating on whether or not to get it but 6 months of wait time is crazy.

Real or fake? Rolex sub in c/watches@style.land

Definitely fake. The magnification and font are really wrong.

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for my next watch. I put a picture my current collection to give an idea of where I'm at. From left to right: god tier G-Shock, Seiko SRPG27, moonswatch, certina ds action diver. Ideally I would like something else like a GMT that is colourful as currently I only have dull colours. My wrist size is 6.5 inches so I like to stay within the 37-40mm range. I've been looking a lot at microbrands and I'm a big fan of a few Traska watches I've seen, especially the Venturer which honestly has pretty much everything I'm looking for. I think the internally rotating bezel is really cool and the on the fly micro adjustment and treated metal are nice touches but it's a bit expensive and the green version that I really liked seems to have sold out almost instantly. I'm curious to hear any recommendations. Thanks!

Certina ds action diver 38mm maybe? Clean and simple while also coming from a reputable brand. Also has lots of cool features like a diver's extension and ISO certification and has 300m of water resistance. Hamilton is also worth considering and there are lots of great microbrands for around that price too like Baltic, traska, lorier among others.

[Seiko Sport 5 Field (4r36 movement)] Accuracy Question in c/watches@style.land

[–] StanislasChauvin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I've had an Srpg27 for about 8 months and honestly it's been pretty accurate so far. The last time I've set the time was a bit over 2 weeks ago and I'm ahead by 2-3 minutes right now (+10s/day). This of course might be different to someone else's, especially considering that I had to re-regulate the watch a few months after I got it since it was running fast. For the price it's a really good movement that isn't scared to take a beating.

Help me please in c/watches@style.land

No watch brand is called lecoultre and if this is supposed to be a JLC then yeah it's a cheap fake. How much did you pay?

[SOTC] One more missing piece to the puzzle? Recommendations? in c/watches@style.land

[–] StanislasChauvin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

A GMT could be pretty cool. Seiko makes some but imo you should look at the Traska venturer, they restocked recently so are ready to ship. The sinn 556 and Seiko Alpinist (There's also a GMT version of the Alpinist which recently released) are also good options although I would personally get a unique colour to add some variation. Nice collection!

90s Sinn Moonphase in c/watches@style.land

[–] StanislasChauvin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Gorgeous watch. This is a sinn triple date lunar calendar moon phase that was only available from 1990-1999 and is quite rare. This one seems to be in good shape and from what I've seen, they mostly tend to sell for over 2k.
