Wrong. It uses a Frederic Piguet 1185 also known as Vacheron Constantin 1137, a beautifully finished vertical chronograph with a solid gold oscillating weight, encased in an iron cage. That's why it can have the big date, which I find so useful and lovely.

Rolex by a mile. Depending on how old the reference is, expect to pay about 3000-3500USD for something like a 1601.
Just be very careful because watches from that era are very easily Frankensteined. Parts were plentiful and Rolex did not control supply back then like they do now. So it may have all sorts of non-original parts.

Datejust.

Stop fixating on the Kuon. I'm sure it's the most expensive Credor you can afford, but unless it's an Eichi II or something at that level, you're wasting your money.
If you want one that bad, wait a couple years and you'll be able to snag one for 3k or 4k.

>How can I know before buying used?

Some cases will be obvious. If the date code on the bracelet doesn't match the watch's date (easily ascertained via the serial number) then you know that's not a match. If the dial type or style or color wasn't available in that watch's year, that's a giveaway.
But in certain cases, you simply have to trust the seller. You can't know if the crystal or hairspring was replaced with a non-Rolex part.

But, of course, that's always the case when you're buying a vintage Rolex. Though, of course, newer Rolexes lack the charm of the older pieces.

If you're buying something a little newer like a six-digit DJ, a 116200 for example, then you're going to spend a little more, between 5-6k USD, but it's easier to find examples with boxes and papers. They're less likely to be tampered with and the seller will let you verify that the serial number of the case, movement, and documentation all match up. If he doesn't let you, walk, because then something's skeevy.

Thank you.

Funny enough, I bought the FF with part of the proceeds from selling my Submariner. It was a combination of being bored with the SubC, having a watch exactly like everyone else, plus not being able to wear it into the city without risking it being stolen.
I saw the FF in one of the Blancpain boutiques in Vegas and just loved the thinness of it, the elegant size, the way it wore more like an older Sub. The movement finishing and the 5-day power reserve didn't hurt either.

So when prices absolutely exploded during the pandemic I decided to strike while the iron was hot. Sold the Sub for enough that I was able to get what I originally paid PLUS the cost of the FF. That's a free watch.

I'm glad your Stiletto is functioning well; I've been wearing the 0100 on my off hours a lot lately. It seems to happen that way actually...I don't have a rotation of watches, I just have a rotation of emotional weeks when I crave particular designs or aesthetic directions. Right now, the 0100 satisfies all cravings for an efficient, clean design that simply tells the time. You know what I mean?

You know, the more I see your watch, the more I think I should pick one up. Just another perfect design from Citizen..something that belongs in Blade Runner or Minority Report.

You could pick one to serve a beater/drinking purpose, or as a travel watch. Gotta appreciate the care-free experience.

For this kind of writing, absolutely. Lots to plan, and the ideas are flowing pretty damn fast. I've been blessed with inspiration when inebriated, but only under specific circumstances.

>>17915234
It's definitely safe; there is nothing to fear, and everything to gain for the moment. Soon the brainstorm stops, and then I get some rest.

Agreed about the care-free experience; that's why I enjoy having a stable of watches 'ready-to-go', but it's also why I no longer feel the draw to buy new ones. I hope everyone can reach this state one day too. As an odd wrench in the mix; the other day I was at the Rolex AD, and they had a few LH GMTs ready to be bought...I almost got one. I don't know man....they're just so dead on the wrist, but there was a part of me that was thinking that I should have at least one Rolex, just because of Rolex...and I do like that one more than other modern offerings. But...it doesn't sing. It was somewhat disappointing. Random thought.

Hmm...the AR would be great, as the 9f (don't think of it as a cope). They're just watches, and in the end, if it makes you smile when it's on your wrist, then it doesn't matter if it's a Seagull 1963 or a Roger Smith....the most important thing is if it makes you smile. Every watch I own was bought after years of contemplation, so I don't feel regrets...they all make me smile. I wish for the same for you if you expand your collection.

Be well, my Fren, and thank you for the good wishes. I send warm wishes to you too.

I recently rediscovered this variant, it's the first Weekdater that came out, and i'm starting to like it. Some of its design elements later got split between the 6206-8990 (the one i have, the lumed version) and the 6218-8970/8971. Some versions even had the 30 in 'water 30 proof' in blue.
The 6206 inherited the case and the text minus the applied gyro logo which is just printed on the 6206, and the star below the day, but lost the day window frame and got a new set of more blocky indices.
The 6218-8970 has the same shaped markers but they're all the same length, and the framed day window but got a new, sleeker case, and the 'Seikomatic' was moved above the day window and replaced with the current Seiko logo.
The 6218-8971 then lost the gyro logo and the little star under the day window.
That concludes today's Weekdater history lesson.

Not, it doesn't have a battery. The mainspring also doesn't send an "electrical charge".

The mainspring gets wound up by the rotor like in any automatic watch. It stores this mechanical energy. It transfers the energy through the gears to the "balance wheel". Only the "balance" aka glide wheel isn't controlled by an anchor escapement like a mechanical watch. Here's where the spring drive comes in.

There is a magnet in the glide wheel that moves around a coil. You can read up on Faraday's law. This produces a small electric current. This current is sent to the quartz which vibrates in a fixed frequency like any quartz watch and the integrated circuit uses this vibration to calculate the exact speed at which, again, the glide wheel should move. It controls the speed by an electromagnetic brake. The glide wheel therefore moves the hands at a constant speed.

To get back to the battery question: the energy is stored in the mainspring and therefore a spring drive watch doesn't need any battery or capacitor like normal quartz watches. That's the big advantage because the battery or capacitor in a quartz watch is usually the first thing that needs replacing.

You're right, of course. It still isn't as accurate as a HAQ. My guess would be that there are slight losses in accuracy because of the glide wheel and the gear system in comnparison to the stepping motor of a normal quartz watch. So it's kind of a tradeoff for the independence from batteries.

It's a nipple dial. You've been conditioned to expect stuff like a Rolex Sub's maxi dial with huge indices.

The idea behind the nipple dial is to improve legibility by having facets on the indices that catch light. The actual footprint of each of the hour markers is the same, but it looks smaller because a stepped and faceted ring instead of a lume plot.
The reasoning is that you only really need lume when it's pitch black. If there's any ambient light at all, the polished rings will catch it. FWIW, I've seen pics of that watch's lume shots and it still looks strong, as you'd expect from a 10k+ watch.

Comes in lots of sizes and less than 12mm thick so not a huge sports watch; it's something you can wear to the office. Nice dial with applied indices and good lume. 3-day power reserve, 100m WR, chronometer certified, sapphire glass.

looking for my first watch that I can wear with as many outfits as possible
>Your budget
100-200€
but wouldnt mind going for a cheaper <100€ option as my first watch
>Watch type, e.g. cope, larp, poor
nothing too fancy or flashy but would like something tasteful (even though I know what is and what isnt tasteful is highly subjective)
maybe a metallic case with a black watch face and ether metallic or black leather band
>Movement
-
>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
-
>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet, rubber
leather or metal bracelet
>Wrist size
little over 7", so based on the guide I'm looking for around 38-40mm in diameter I think

Movement finishing is industrial at best, accuracy and power reserve are so-so.
Case finishing consists entirely of jamming the case against a buffing wheel, leaving an uneven surface.
Dial printing often has mistakes. It's like they don't have a QC department.

For insurance purposes, I tell them the insurer the brand and model. If you have a particularly collectible version of a watch, you can always have it appraised by a watch dealer and have your insurance company accept that instead.

the intra matic chrono is a chunky boi. it's based on the 7753, and as such it's pretty thick. The rotor is heavy and you can hear/feel it spinning around when you swing your wrist a certain way. Its size limits when it can be worn--I avoid wearing when I know I'm going to have to do dextrous work with my hands and don't want to risk the watch getting in the way. So it's rare that I wear it to work as I can sometimes end up in the product lab and it's hard to predict when. The """""lume""""" is absolute garbage. I'm not even sure why they thought to include it. The dial color is fantastic and maybe not for everyone, but it's exactly what I thought it would be.

I've tried on a few other hamiltons at an AD. The jazzmaster they had felt too big for what it is. I would have preferred 37 or 38mm instead of 40mm. The open heart versions are visually appalling. The khaki field was alright but I would have wanted the titanium version (pic related).
