Has anyone seen this shock absorber?

What the hell is it? Itโ€™s not the usual Novodiac or Nivachoc springs that are in all the ETA C07 movements. Iโ€™ve attached photo of the Nivachoc spring...

commented on Update and new Renders! My GMT project ยท

The more I look at it the more I like it. It looks fantastic!

commented on Just got my first chrono ยท

I had one of these for a little while. The dial is fantastic! Especially in person

commented on Where is the price "sweet spot" for watches? ยท

Personally I find the most value under $2000. The very borderline of Swiss luxury. But there is so much value under $1000 and under $500 and even over $50000. It depends on what you value

commented on Post your favorite watch that does NOT have any lume! ยท

Also a Tissot, but a discontinued model. Sometimes no lume is better than poor lume. This dial is so perfect that I honestly would want any.

Also the way lume looks in daylight is never what I want. I can always see the tint of blue or green from the glow, and itโ€™s unappealing. I see it with Rolex a lot. The indexes on the sub look almost blue in daylight to my eyes.

commented on The Kith Heuer Collaboration is Another Win for TAG! ยท

Iโ€™m an unapologetic TAG Heuer fanboy, but this was a miss for me. I love the first gen F1, but the price is too high, they are all limited, and Kith shouldnโ€™t be on the dial IMO. It seems half baked. The โ€œlumeโ€ dials arenโ€™t even lume ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I still dig the idea, but Iโ€™d rather just get an original one in good shape, for half the price at MOST

commented on If there could be only one ? ยท

Also a TAG for me. Iโ€™ve been collecting watches for over 20 years, and while Iโ€™ve always been obsessed with the brand, I avoided them for the longest time due to the general hatred towards the brand in the community. Now I have three of these 1990s/2000s models, and a 3rd gen F1 from 2019 and I absolutely love them. This is one of my favorite watches of all time, itโ€™s 26 years old and still runs fantastic with only one confirmed service in its lifetime.
