its crazy how they got so hyped up.

like u can get a Seiko Speedtimer the solar quarts one for the same price as some grey market moonswatch and people stills buy a plastic toy watch over it.

i just don’t get the hype for it. bad value for MSRP awful value for the grey market price.

blancpain one is awful value but atleast its not hyped.

im all for accesibility but i really don’t think these watches are it

The moonswatch in itself is already a really bad value watch tbh

The blancpain is more painful pricing

Since its not a diver category.

I say:

Seiko Alpinist, if possible get the sarb017

Speedmaster Reduced is also pretty cool IMO

Hamilton Khaki Murph is nice looking too

I think at this price u can get the basic grand seiko with spring drive

Right now for around 1000-1500 range that i really want to get are:

1. Grand Seiko 6145-8050 from 1972 in Mint Condition.
2. Speedmaster Reduced, i think i seen one used at around 1700
3. Longines Legend Diver

all of them are used ofc, i don’t really like to buy things new

i never find anyone who buys speedmaster because:

“they wanna be astronauts”

they buy it because its the moonwatch, the watch that went to the moon, the history of it.

and 2nd reason is because they like the looks.

I have a 1969 King Seiko 4502 - 7000

Why do i have it? Well because its part of the watch history i guess when seiko beats the swiss so hard they close the chronometer competition.

Also its the last movement that are handmade iirc.

Need more Seiko for sure :)

why not, not like there is this holy rule against it

this watch cost more to repair than it is to buy new, but man the movement looks amazing

i rather no cyclops regardless

Man thing thing is a beauty, for a 50+ years old watch to be in such good condition. outside and inside too.

i don’t really care about resale value, but im planning to find a person who can polish this (locally in indonesia) without ruining the look of the case and maybe some dial restoration too so it can look like brand new.

well that was the plan after i replace it’s mainspring.

but this marks my 2nd watch in my collection. the next target its going to be a Tudor Blackbay 58. so gonna need to save up quite abit for that one.
