So would you think that the Tissot Chrono series are a good brand and model to choose as a beginning horologist? I’ve owned Tag, Movado, Grand Seiko, G-Shock Master of G, Rolex (albeit overpriced for what they are), etc. but this is my first Tissot. I have a Tissot Savonnette coming as well (pocket watch).

I think the biggest factor is why you buy the watch. Try to ignore the "luxury" watches. Luxury is a subjective matter. Affordability and value are the factors.

@andrewcallahan3834 Жыл бұрын

that can also be subjective though

@greg6162 9 ай бұрын

@@andrewcallahan3834it can… but what I think they meant, is you can have a well built watch (sometimes built even better) that keeps great time and not be one of the well known Swiss watches. I’m in my early 40’s and remember when watches were a necessity and not an accessory. Back in those days to get a nice automatic time piece, you really had to spend a lot or know someone that sold counterfeit watches. With today’s technology in manufacturing you can get Swiss quality watches at regular people prices. Not saying the Swiss watches aren’t worth it because they’re made to such a high degree of precision that only comes from building mostly everything from hand. That’s when it crosses over to not just jewelry, but pure artwork. As we all know artwork is worth whatever someone that isn’t you is willing to pay for it and has it’s own market and often times is like it’s own currency. Rolex watches for example are $10K from a dealer, but people buy them and horde them to create a demand (or the company does it themselves to create that demand) and now buying that same $10K Rolex is worth upwards of $30K on the second hand market as soon as you take possession and leave the authorized dealer. So people are going to buy a $10K watch if they can immediately sell it for a $20K profit… that’s low balling it because Patek Watches we’re going for over $100K at a original of $30k, I think… it’s close but don’t quote me on the Patek watches. This is why we can’t have nice things? It’s not just Jewelry/Artwork either… I mean the pandemic hits and the first thing some people do is buy ALL OF THE TOILET PAPER?! Seriously… like wtf? Everyone has access to a shower and the ones that don’t… don’t buy TP anyway? I can see if it was canned vegetables, Raumen noodles or food/water consumable related… but people were hoarding pallets of toilet paper! Funny thing is when supply caught up with demand there was a bunch of people trying to sell back THOUSANDS of dollars worth of toilet paper 🤣… the one guy spent like $100K on pallets of toilet paper and then when he couldn’t price gouge because ppl could just go to the store he tried selling it back to a store just to get his money back and they wouldn’t take it 😜. He now has a lifetime supply of sh** tickets. I kinda went on a rant there sorry, ADD… can’t help it. But to your point, you are correct in a the sense that different people value things differently, logically we don’t need most of what we own. Majority of our possessions are creature comforts and we have certain things that we’re willing to pay more for because we give it that value in some way shape or form… rationality or practical is less important these days but still exists differently from person to person. Love Swiss watches and if I could afford a Rolex or $30K Patek I would probably own one, but it’s not something that I think about because even though I love watches and appreciate the detail that goes into them, I don’t feel like there’s a watch over $300-$500 that I felt compelled to buy. But we all have our own vices right?

An extra recommendation should be: check in your area if anyone services mechanical watches and for how much. In my area (seacoast New Hampshire), there are only a few places that work on watches. Most refuse to service anything that is not a luxury brand, and the only one that even called me back for a watch with a medium/lower end ETA movement said that basic service starts at $450. I have sent watches away to be serviced, but it is hit or miss if they actually come back having been serviced or not and what quality of servicing is received (even from the same company).

I went to the Omega Boutique in NYC to ask about servicing my Grandfather’s Omega Constellation watch after he passed and they stated that because the watch is so old, they would have to send it to Switzerland for servicing because the parts have to be hand made. They quoted $1500 and I wouldn’t have the watch for 6 months! Long story short, the salesman urged me not to service it since it still winds and keeps time perfectly (My grandfather last had it serviced and maintenance in 2012). Salesman basically said to do a full servicing when it stops keeping time correctly or it doesn’t wind properly. Watch still keeps time perfectly to this day.

One quibble and only because I work exclusively in 304L and 316L. 304 is not inferior to 316. It's actually harder and has a higher melting point. Where 316 fares better is in corrosion resistance when exposed to salts and acids. 316 though is also easier to machine because of its Molybdenum content which makes it (relatively) softer than its cousin 304. The Moly also gives 316 a better corrosion resistance in its astinic barrier. That being said, the average human would be hard pressed to see any difference in the two metals over the course of the natural life of a watch.

316 stainless is also used for boats and seashore environments. While it is a bit softer than 304 (‘regular’ stainless steel), it was designed to take corrosion much better. I don’t know what the L adds to the mix. 304 is not really inferior though. It should be tougher to dent and scratch I presume. It probably also builds rust a bit quicker. For other appliances I prefer it over 316.

An automatic winding movement comes under the category of mechanical movement. I would say instead we have: quartz, manual or automatic wound mechanical watches. Just being pedantic with the Queens English vs the American.lol. I really like the way you cover watches anywhere from any price. Specifically Quartz and sub 100$ mechanicals. Not a lot of watch KZfaq channels take these seriously, unless it's to tear up a fashion watch they've never seen. I remember you did a vid on some Ali Express watch,(don't remember the name) but you took it seriously and did a real, thoughtful review. Yeah, most of those watches are shall we say, Crap, in the end. But you have the integrity to treat a review of a Cadison just as seriously as a Patek. Thank you for it.

I have a quartz replica of a Fliegeruhr (B-model) by Mil-Tec. Yes it's easy to tell that it isn't a real one and a decent number of things are historically incorrect. But I still think it looks nice, tells the time and most importantly, isn't too expensive. That's not only good because I can afford it but if it were too expensive I might not have dared to wear it in everyday conditions. Perhaps a little bit more expensive than some quartz watches but I had a code for a pecentage off the price on the website I bought it on. Also I just thought it looked cool.

What is the watch @1:44 Is there a fly wheel in the hand wound watch I know they use a wound spring but it would make sense to use a fly wheel type assembly just my theory I’m no watchmaker lol
