Looks like it's never been serviced so it would have been easy for a competent watchmaker to get it in to shape, it even has shock protection on some of the jewels for the gear train. It's not finished to modern Credor standards but that movement is still fantastic.

Zelos gives you a wooden box and a quality leather case even for their $350 watches (and I heard you get a horween leather strap as well but not sure). They seem to be one of the most respected microbrands in the $300-500 range

I've been here long enough to see the board culture on pretty much every board killed by the redditors and tumblrinas, and the mods helped them do it.
Moot sold us out, gookmoot doesn't care and only wants to sell your info and make money. He's fine with 4chan becoming reddit 2.0 as long as he can sell more ad space.
The last board left to go is /pol/ and it's 90% shills and of topic spam, while on topic threads get taken down by the mods.
Tradition doesn't mean anything when the mods goal is to push out and get rid of anyone who remembers what this place used to be like.

>4chan has made of niggers since forever. Ignorant idiots have retrospectively made the assumption that old 4chan was more left wing
I'm seeing this myth pushed more and more by the most obvious leddit trannies these days. I first stumbled upon this place in 2005. And immediately fled. I didn't return until 2009. It's always been like this, the only change is the degree or severity of it all. People acting like this place was like fucking r/blm or something and was only recently shitted up by the muh pol boogieman. I'm the absence of hard moderation, people will say what they think. Additionally, any discussion forum will tend to drift more "rightward" because leftism requires censorship in order to work. The harder the moderatorship, the more "left" the user base and content. 4chin has always been loose compared with all the others out there moderation-wise, by a massive degree.

And this just proves my point.
The mere mention of /pol/ and the idea that a board exists that allows any right wing thought is enough to illicit a reaction.
/pol/ is not a containment board; there is no board here that is strictly a containment board. Every board has anons that cross post on other boards as well, and no one ever expects you to check your opinion about anime, or cars, or movies, or video games, or any other topic that gets discussed on this website. But you give any answer that isn't the politically correct, reddit friendly version and right on cue you get anons telling you to take it to /pol/. In the old days no one gave a fuck, they'd call you a faggot and move on. But that's not enough anymore, and the mods direct the content on every board now. The only board left that hasn't experienced that forced change is /pol/, and it's nearly impossible to have a political thread there because the mods have turned it into a pornless version of /b/ by allowing bots and spammers to overrun it.

there is "200m water resist" and "200m diver's"

they mean totally different things
""200m WR"" means the watch can physically dive to 10m/suitable for snorkeling
"200m diver's" means the watch has been iso certified to actually go to 200m below water

>If your watch has "ISO 6425" or "Divers" and then a depth number written on the dial or case, you've got a watch designed for diving and certified up to a standard — unlike watches without ISO markings. This ISO standard means the watch is guaranteed by the manufacturer to handle depths of at least 100 meters (if no number is given) as well as an extra 25 percent of that depth if the water is completely static.

It was a large amount of money and the seller was getting angry and impatient.

They refused to contact the seller and explain the situation because they both kept saying "it's not our fault."

Yep, the key to responsible credit card usage is to use it for purchases you were going to make anyway, so in my case that's gas, utilities and the occasional meal outside or takeout. I've used it on watches, but always paid in full before the end of the month. The rewards don't seem like much now but they add up over time, and I'm coming from a country where credit card rewards aren't nearly as neat as those in burgerland, but with a similar credit scoring system.

I has nothing to do with money you have or don't have. You simply use a credit card even if you have the money so that you build credit, raise your card limit and get 2% cash back.

In Burgerland you should start using credit cards as fast as you can since you're 18 years old and use it for every single little payment you do because if you don't do that you will never be able to build enough credit points to get decent loans for a house or whatever when you need it the most. And you get 2% cash back on top.

I paid for my last 5 watches with credit, few omegas and the rest where £1k each. I'd take a new credit card out and pay them off in the 0% purchases time. Why would you not? Free interest loan. I then use my own money to invest at 6% + a year.

I paid for all my monthly expenses on credit card about £3k and pay them in full every month.

I've probably been doing this for 3 years now and I credit my credit score last money and its 3 points off a perfect score.

In saying that I have the money to pay for the watches, I would not recommend it if you didn't and my net worth is quite high.

One of the biggest advantages of credit cards it that they aren't tied to you bank account so when they get stolen you can just get a new one and tell the cc company you didn't make the charges instead of trying to convince your bank to put the stolen money back in your empty bank account.

You won't be disappointed with the SARX035 when it comes to fit, finish and aesthetics. It's pricey given the 6R15 movement but I haven't found a watch with better overall finish and detailing under $1,500 or so. Pretty versatile overall as well, dresses up and down well between casual and formal.

I mean, I agree but still just keep the balance of your spending and don't spend more than you have and you get benefits, that 's something you should do anyway regardless of the credit score system.

the sarb 33/35 is literally more of a dress watch than anything else. It literally has a cocktail seconds hand.

Final happiness can never be achieved.this is not something related to watch world, I like road bikes, and at that hobby is the same,you buy a low tier bike and you will instantly want a higher one, you buy a higher one and you will want another, it's almost a meme, it's called n+1, n being the base number of bikes you own, and the +1 the new bike you must always want to buy/own.I bought a nice bike, with very good specs, something that is mid tier and has the same utiliti as high tier but less fancy and that wieght more, but even after purchasing the bike, I was looking at new bikes, It never ends, I own already 4 bikes and want a couple of them more, and they are bikes,taking more space and being more expensive that the shitter jewelry that watches are.

The best way to deal with that, is getting allrounder watches, something that does not have a niche use, don'y buy something for just X, buy something that you will use as much as possible.For me, utility is the main thing to consider, I like a ton of watches, but from the utility point of view, I see them as not viable, why buying dress watches when I already own one that can fill that role?, why buying a diver when I do not dive?would getting a nice chrono fit my lifestyle or would it just be a weekend watch, in that case, why buying some nice watch only for it be used a few days per week?...
