Regulated them myself. The machine is 150 bucks on Amazon. And it's pretty simple to adjust them, but you have to have a steady hand since the regulating pins are right above the balance spring on these movements. But basically all I do is set the time, wear it the whole day, then the next day around the same hour I set it I'll see how fast or slow it was and adjust accordingly using the timegrapher. You can do it without the machine but it might take you several days since the tiniest adjustments can throw you way off.
Machine on Amazon is the time gauge? I kinda meant when regulating , you work close to balance wheel and can break it

It's easy to spot a poorly made fake. There's YouTube videos out there going over fake watches and some of them are really good! Some fakes get busted because they used a color or metal that Rolex didn't use in a year or a magnifying window magnifies too much or other really tiny details that would fool a lot of people.
Looking at it maybe, much easier if you handle the watch

One thing I like about Breitling (and some of the other Swiss watchmakers) is that each movement is submitted to the COSC for certified chronometer testing. So in the end, each watch is branded as a "chronometer" on the watch face and you get a nice certficiate in the packaging.
have a hamilton that prob. meets cosc standards many like regulareta 2824 will meet cosc standards even if not cosc

For sure.

There are people who are annoying, and you don't want to read. That's a simple ignore.

But then there are also people who are derailing topics for their own agenda, or are using your posts in pure bad faith.

Most of time that's just some false dichotomy or putting stuff into your mouth you can somewhat deal with, but some people just go full ad hominem, lie about what you wrote, and just cross every line that keeps a discussion civilized.
yeah i agree. So with blocking , maybe the amount of users has gone up? idk, maybe most users on here vastly underestimate the number of really bad posters.

I'm somewhat into my watches, but I also did watch repairs for the best part of 5 years for what was at the time part of a large company. As such, I'd say I have more experience with the internals than most watch lovers.

Rolexes are great, but they're absolutely mass produced. Massive chunks of production are automated. This isn't bad, they're 100% well made watches, but they're not each lovingly hand crafted from start to finish.
yeah this is true. Though it seems like most people believe each rolex is handcrafted by one person. Prob easily most believe this. They make over 1 mil watches per yr. Never seen like a mass produce watch , line on youtube. Maybe they don't like cameras going in there. Yeah would be cool to see how they are made. Watch repairs for 5 yrs? i do a little bit too. But you were being paid to do it right?

I bought my father-in-law a Seiko Prospex PADI diver for his birthday last year and he seems to like it a lot. Divers are my favorite kinds of watches (I have a Breitling SuperOcean myself) and I wanted to extend that to him.

As for an Apple Watch, it can't be a status symbol if everyone has one. Status symbols imply exclusivity and an Apple Watch has none.
is that 200 m water resistance? iirc those have no exhibition caseback and that can easily be done, 200m. How much was the one you bought him though, sapphire crystal?

I'd say Rolex/Casio for people not into watches, and Seiko/Casio for people into watches. Seiko is IMO a good place to start for mechanical pieces, to feel out what you like/how deep you want to dive into the world for not too much cash. The majority of my mechanical pieces are Seiko, or have Seiko movements inside, and are acting as the springboard towards regulating, servicing, and potentially building and modding my own.
citizen may have overtaken seiko in sales and popularity. Their revenues has surpassed seikos for yrs

Any jeweller worth repairing your Rolex with will be accredited by Rolex themselves, which is also the only way to get genuine parts.

On topic: yes, but only if you don't count the Apple Watch, which is a contentious subject in the watch community. Even non watch people know of Rolex, it's one of the few universal signs of luxury along with things like luxury cars or mansions. On top of that, the Submariner is the most copied watch in the world, both in terms of fakes and watches that draw a clear inspiration.

As nice as they are though, they're 100% mass produced. They make something like a million watches a year.
Oh apple watch kinda hated in the watch community, why?

This girl had problems with her mother. She mentioned that she would participate in the show only if her mother wasn't present. Phil disregarded her request and surprised her with her mother anyway. Then, he acted as if he had done nothing wrong and labeled her as a brat when she rightfully reminded him that they had discussed this and agreed her mother wouldn't be there. This incident is just one of many examples. And then you can see that clearly set her up with the producer just so happen to be right there mic in hand ready to come on to stage just like that and back up Phil. Fuck that asshole.

Simple: I'm only responsible for getting my own job done, and as long as I do that, I'm golden.

Management is responsible for everyone in an area or a shift. If everything they're supposed to oversee doesn't get done, it's their ass in the sling.
just read that like asst managers at walmart that most people think they make more than they really do. Like the avg cop in my area makes like a little more than the asst managers, kinda sad really. Heard the store manager makes like over 100k though. Also heard a walmart guy say that if you are non management that your pay caps at like 15 yrs and can not go higher if you are not management. Don't like many walmart asst managers work like over 55 hrs per week, heard that too.
