Previous big thread from last month after Nico's video mentioned the same subject:

G-Shock square, the best:

(from $40 to $4,000)
No they're not bad, imho.
First, the MoonSwatch basically uses the same ETA G10 quartz movement as the one used in the Tissot PRX quartz, Certina DS, etc.
People complain that the MoonSwatch movement isn't "repairable" but again it's exactly the same with the Tissot and no one complained about that. And I mean, they're like $30 to replace.
Plus, durability issues with the watch is likely overblown. They literally sold ~ 1 million units in under a year, so of course some will have defects.
Typically with quartz movement if you have a "lemon" it will die in a few months. The MoonSwatch comes with a 2 year warranty, so I wouldn't be overly concerned.
Yes people are paying a premium for "the hype". Then again, that's nothing new with watches (looking at you, Rolex).
If you like one, go for it.
10/10 great looking watch!
If it's real (can't tell from the picture) it's a Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver Chronograph.

Well the Bremont MB-I, MB-II and MB-III lines are designed & tested to survive violent ejections from fighter jets, at around 20Gs. (The MB stands for Martin-Baker, the maker of ejection seats).

They start from just under $5000 retail.
This watch is not an Eberhard. See my post for a longer explanation.
Contrary to some other posts, I believe this watch is not an Eberhard, but it's also not exactly a "fake".
Rather, there were two different companies with the same name:
- Eberhard & Co., a respected Swiss brand that's for historical reasons is popular in Italy (and was later bought by an Italian businessman)
- Eberhard, which was a jewelry retailer in Milan, Italy
Eberhard, Milan sold jewelry and also watches from well-known makers such as Patek Phillipe and Jaeger LeCoultre. Later they began selling "private label" Swiss-made watches under their own brand, labeled "Eberhard Milan" and "Chronometre Eberhard".
At one point this led to confusion in the market and maybe even a lawsuit between the two companies.
Your watch appears to be a Eberhard Milan private labelled watch, probably from the 1920s or 1930s.
You need to tell the wife. It's not breaking the promise at all. You kept your promise until his death.
If you keep the watches, you'd literally be stealing from his wife.
