Covid. Production halted for many months and new watches hitting the market are still hugely delays. Combine that with the fact people have been holding on to their watches during this period and there is a marked drop in the amount of stock available second hand / grey market. Many dealers are struggling to obtain stock.

oh the new 1 is something different
>The electrostatic drive system in the new Accutron watches use the attraction and repulsion of electrical charge in order to both generate electrical current and to generate mechanical energy. The stepper motors in a conventional quartz watch move the hands in incremental discrete step are despite their tiny size still basically conventional electric motors, which rely on electromagnetic interactions. A standard electric motor has two basic components: These are the rotor, which rotates, and the stator, which doesn't rotate; usually the rotor is inside the stator, which is either composed of permanent magnets, or coil-wound electromagnets. When you turn the motor on, current passes through the rotor, creating a magnetic field, and the attraction and repulsion of the induced magnetic field in the rotor, and the magnetic field in the stator, causes the rotor to turn.
>By contrast, an electrostatic motor does not rely on magnetic fields at all.The simplest version of an electrostatic motor consists of a rotor that sits in between two electrodes. An electrical charge flows from one electrode onto the rotor and is discharged into the opposite electrode. As the rotor passes each electrode, it acquires a charge identical to the electrode and, as like electrical charges repel each other, the rotor turns.
>In the new Accutrons, there is both an electrostatic motor, which drives the seconds hand, and two smaller electrostatic generators, which provide the charge necessary for the rotor to turn; these generators also charge an accumulator which provides current for the conventional electromagnetic stepper motors that move the hour and minute hands. The electrostatic motors have, as you'd expect, a rotor and a stator. The rotor turns quite rapidly, and its turbine-like blades in motion offer a very striking visual effect.

Replicas typically use Miyota 9015 or seagull if they need to do custom stuff.

Miyota 9015 is really good.

Patek: -3 or + 2 sec. / 24h, but you can expect 1 s/d

Miyota 9015 can be taken to 1-2s/d if you regulate it and tweak it after watching it settle after using for a couple weeks

I was saying replicas are great and somebody said "you should rather look for a homage"

So I asked for good homages and now homages are getting trashed.

Ive never seen a decent homage. All the real work and tech is being invested on replicas.

> Fakes use cheap shit stock movements so never replicate something like the height of say a Nautilus

You guys are retarded the dude just wants a watch to "give to his dad" that he'll give to him in a few months, or leave to him in a few years when he croaks. So he's basically crowdfunding his new watch via family funds, that's smart as fuck.

Externally, more or less fine. Gold plating has worn around the edges and there is a small chip in the crystal, nothing I can't live with.
Internally it needs some work. It still runs but it's start and stop. Seems to run better when held upright or when given a gentle shake.
Popping the case open I do see a bit of tarnish on the wheels, a few of the case screws are missing, and there's generally a little bit of lint or something that is in a gear tooth here and there.

So I'm pretty set on copping a flieger soon and I'm fairly sure about getting the Laco Aachen, but I'm not sure if I should go for the 39mm or 42mm version. I generally prefer smaller watches, the biggest I own right now coming in at 41mm. My wrist is 6.75" and fairly round rather than flat, and my build is medium, though a bit large for an Asian. The 42mm comes in at 50mm lug to lug compared to 46 for the 39mm. From my experience 50mm is probably the most I can stretch, but is bigger really better when it comes to fliegers, especially since they're all dial?

I'm asking because ever since Tik Tok and similar apps became popular, I see girls pretending to do all that, and it looks exactly like it looked a long time ago when I was in love and thought that she was in love with me too (but of course she left me in the end), and I really can't tell if they're capable of emotionally expressing themselves genuinely anymore, or if it's all one big sham.

>The history of Gevril watches is a story that combines an illustrious watchmaking past with an innovative modern revitalization. The company origins date back to the mid-18th century and Jacques Gevril, the gifted Swiss watchmaker who is the founder and inspiration of the eponymous brand. Today the Gevril name endures thanks to the vision of Swiss horologist and businessman, Samuel Friedmann, who lifted the brand to its current heights as an established Swiss watch company.

>Jacques Gevril was an up-and-coming watch and clockmaker in 1758 when he accompanied his colleague Pierre Jaquet-Droz on a trip to Madrid. There, the men presented a selection of complex musical automata to King Ferdinand VI. The king was so impressed he bought every piece. Jaquet-Droz returned home the following year but Gevril remained in Spain to fortify his reputation as a master watchmaker and was appointed Royal Watchmaker by the king. Gevril lived in Spain for many years thereafter, refining his craft and producing watches for the Crown.

you are not insane. women are A/B testing new forms of seduction at scale with pinpoint precision because of the TikTok algorithm

The way TikTok algo works: Your first videos are gauranteed to get 100 views. And whether the 100 users watch the video fully or scoll massively alters the video score. I know this from ByteDance employee leak

That score then puts you in a new catageory based on types of users and to a bigger audience if the video was good. A seductive video will show you to countless men, and more men will stare longer, and it gets sent to more men.

It is Hyper Meritocratic. have you noticed that gamer girls started to mimic the cross eyed semen drenched hentai look? girls that go that get huge points now - they never did before. perverse fetishes and niches suddenly as massively monetisable. look at the thot making $100k a month pretending to be a dog on onlyfans - we only had the technology for such degeneracy in 2019 earliest

women are noticing and responding to incentives. they already were chasing instagram likes. but now its not just body type and lifestyle - they are emulating mannerisms. Mimetic Desire
