why would i have buyers remorse, i can still return it for full refund or sell it for barely any loss...these watches maintain their value decently. posted a new topic because that topic was about import duties. this topic is about the actual watch

Hate to be a hater, but I got to agree, it's not my taste, and can't believe it's $1k. I'm willing to drop $400 on a nice Citizen or Seiko, and can truly appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into watch making and the watch mechanisms behind them, but I'm just not feeling it. That said I'm sure it's more impressive looking in person.

remember that looks aren't the only thing that factor into price. there's the GMT function, sapphire crystal (with anti reflective coating), smooth bezel action, better movement, case construction, etc

i can swap it out, i have a dark army green one too. i went with the more neutral grey to let the red bezel pop more

mine is a better constructed watch and is automatic instead of solar powered. and i disagree, i much prefer the looks of mine to the citizen

You're not wrong. I have no doubts it's a quality piece, just not my style, but it's your watch so as long as you like it I'm happy for you! Shouldn't have said "i cant believe it's 1k"... i meant that figuratively rather than literally and am trying to stop that habit. enjoy and grats dude. Tag me if you ever get or have a cool skeleton watch to show off ;3

Massive watch always look cheap. Especially when you have slim wrists. Specs doesn't matter, because watch is an accessory. For 1k you could get something like that

nice, my friend is in BC now, i couldn't make it but he says it's amazing

yeah, i'm constantly selling and changing my lineup in the pursuit of the "perfect collection" lol

right now i have the orient star as a dress watch: https://imgur.com/CX8V2h9

and the steinhart ocean: https://imgur.com/seXapAT

thinking about selling the steinhart for the overlap with the CW, however it does so many things different i'm contemplating keeping it. combined, they are the perfect watch but neither one is perfect

just sold the maen hudson to fund the CW: https://imgur.com/OoGMxdh

again, find me a watch that's $15 that has a contrasting red bezel and a GMT hand. you guys that are saying things like this simply lack the perspective and don't understand the price points in the watch world

lol, my wrists are 6.25", the watch is 45mm lug to lug and 38mm diameter...that is actually the perfect size for me. the angle and straight on shots always make watches looks larger than it is. suffice to say it looks much more proportional in person. another reason i had to pay the 1k price point was to find a dive watch with the specs i want and in the proportions i wanted (if you know of another dive watch with 45mm l2l and 38mm diameter let me know)

what you posted was a dress watch...i wanted a dive watch...that's an entirely different style. here is my dress watch, a $250 orient star: https://imgur.com/yUHMAcB

wait...what? are you saying details don't matter? details ALWAYS matter. it may not matter to you, but it definitely matters to the producers, the consumers, etc. if you deem they aren't worth it, so be it...that just means it's not for you...but there is no way you can say details don't matter. they may not appeal/apply to you, but they matter more than anything. there's a reason there's an expression that goes "the devil is in the details"

you may think it looks better and that's fine, most people will say the gold is too gaudy. most watch enthusiasts will prefer the christopher ward

yours is also quartz, mineral crystal and 42mm

Let me be completely clear: i didn't buy the watch because it was 1k. i did my research, made a list of things i wanted in a watch and then went out and found that watch. that watch happened to be 1k which isn't that big of a deal to me, so i bought it. also celebrating a milestone so i deserved a treat
