Let’s Talk Watches

[betelgeuse]

I'm pretty new to nicer watches so don't depend on my opinions. I just ordered one from Aragon that supposedly uses a Seiko movement and Sapphire crystal. I was looking at the Orient, Addiesdive, Seiko.

Jomashop carries a lot of different ones

A citizen pro master diver is only 295 on Govx just saying… or 315 on the citizen website.

Anyone have any insight into Vaer watches?

They have some designs similar to other watches called out as well as good price points.

Ya, I ordered one, sent it back, ordered another and that process took months. Their customer service is horrendous. Overall, the watch worked fine, but nothing compared to a Citizen or Seiko or hamilton (in that same price range).

Did you miss the g shock in that roll? Or the orient comments Haha. If I wanted to really brag would have broke out the Patek…

Haha. Proving you're not showing off by showing off some more.

I build my own using the NH35 movement with seiko 28.5mm dials. Unlimited possibilities! Minimal tools needed

Last cruise we went on, we went to a bourbon tasting and watch lecture. That was pretty interesting.
Cruise ship jewelry shops are a big deal, they give crazy discounts to get you to buy stuff. My mom retired from Sterling. They own all the major chain jewelry shops. The mark up on some jewelry can approach 75%.
This ships store had a couple old Rolex watches to check out. I think on I tried in was 50k!
There’s a British brand that takes specific materials and the produces the watches. One line had aluminum from a WW 2 British fighter plane used for the case. Another had tires from a specific jaguars tires for the bands.
I have a citizen eco drive that was my dad’s.
My smart watch is an amazfit t rex 3
Bought a luminox on that cruise.
Few other decent “couple hundred dollar” watches

Personally I hate jewelry and anything flashy. I won a Rolex many years ago and it's been sitting in the safe ever since. My daily watch is the same as my hunting/outdoors watch. A simple Casio Twin Sensor SGW 100B. It has a compass that actually works and is very accurate, a good illumination system, and keeps time good enough for me. It's about 3 seconds fast during a month time frame. I have a Victorinox, another Casio and a few other watches. I always end up back with the Casio Twin Sensor.
