Why is DHL (Deutche Post, not DHL Worldwide) so fucking slow? It took 5 days to even leave Germany, and has been in transit since for 3. I hope it's not on a fucking boat. I want it to get here already so I can sell my old watch.

Btw, has anyone in the US bought a used watch from Chrono24 and got hit with a tariff? I sure hope I don't.

>>59281425
Myself I'm fine with something like what Nomos does. I don't care for the huge box you get with an Omega, or the loupes etc.
Give me a nice small box for one watch, a cloth, a small warranty card and not much more.
I'll take spare straps, or a watch roll instead of the box.

What does /wt/ want packaged with their watch? Tools? Spare spring bars? A medaillon? Nothing?

>>59281821
Maybe a change of strap.

>>59281816
What's erroneous about it? Too mesh jewels?

My Habring came in a small wooden box. It has a space for the watch. It has space for a springbar tool, and a few other spaces. In those spaces it came with a spare crown, spare springbars, spare gaskets and a set of spare hands.

That's pretty cool.

>>59281883
>In those spaces it came with a spare crown, spare springbars, spare gaskets and a set of spare hands.

Neat. That's something you usually only see on 5 or 6 figure watches.

I only have an Amphibia but the simple paper box of the Komandirskie seems to have a charm to it. Not to mention the old square plastic boxes of commie times with no straps.

For more high-end luxury pieces (Seiko SARB, Nomos, Steinhart, Squale) I expect the manufacturer to know my family crest and provide an in-house signet ring with it in the box.

Love in-house and especially vintage watches. This one is from Czechoslovakia, circa 1979.
Commie stuff, but I love them.
They are enormously underpriced here, so if anyone wants, feel free to ask.

I've been looking to get this model or a 14790ST (also around $8k) for a few months. Patience paid out. I always look out for a good deal. Any watch I buy, I buy it below resale value and buy only if I know I can resell it easily. Rolex is best obviously. I can sell my Sub for at least the same price I bought it for within a few hours.

This was purchased for me when one of my family members can back from a trip, they stopped at a antique store, knew I loved watches, and paid $2.50 for it. It is one of the vintage Timex automatic pin lever movements, very rudimentary, and I believe the movement doesn't have any jewels.
Nonetheless, still a very cool vintage watch to have in my collection, doesn't look too bad either! Just thought I'd share something different today.

better doesn't mean anything. it depends what you're looking for in a watch.
for divers, a ray ii would get you better styling (arguable), hacking and handwinding, and a better bracelet. you lose on the diver certification.

>>59287580
Size is a factor for me i have 4 inch wrists

Daily reminder that the only thing that matters in a watch is if you like, since even the most basics of watches keeps good time.

I have the hammerhead. Really cool looking watch with great lume but it could be a tad thinner. I like that Elshan designs all his watches from scratch, no chink catalog cases and they're the only name in town if you want an affordable meteorite dial.

Looking for a little help. I asked on an /fa/ thread a little while ago and, well, /fa/ is retarded.

I've got this old timex that I'm pretty sure isn't damaged mechanically, but it probably needs some servicing. If I shake it like a lonely saturday night it'll tick for ~15 seconds then slowly come to a halt. I've tried turning the crown a couple dozen times which doesn't seem to do much. When I pull the crown out to set the time, the hands feel bind-free. However I can't seem to change the day or date without spinning the hands around which makes me think something is wrong with the stem inside.

Is this user serviceable, or should I just look for a jeweler who will look at it and get it working again? I know on ebay they're selling for $30 "not working" or $50 "working in good condition", its got sentimental value to me, and thats about it. You can see the decades of corrosion around the case.

I bought it over 10 years ago on eBay back when you could still snap up a deal occasionally. It was listed without any reference to it having the Lemania 5100 movement and so no one searching for them found it.
