oops. I saw that this was sarcasm, but did not take into account the price because... I never pay attention to prices

Tommy, I'm sorry. You are very sensitive. There was no goal to upset you and be rude to your delicate mental organization. To some extent, this is really the fault of automatic translation; I have to write in short and possibly harsh words, because... if in my language I use rather mild expressions, but in the final translation I see f..k and s..t, which makes me horrified because the English that the translator uses is too simple and rude :) And yes, I'm too old to be almond-mouthed and to pour out oil with or without reason. Since selling and buying watches has been part of my family’s business for more than one generation, I have no illusions about the quality, service and business models of certain companies (and almost all of them). Speaking of Rolex, I am terribly dissatisfied with the quality of service, especially because of how much time and money their mistakes cost me. We still managed to claim money and quality repairs, but time was lost forever. And we’re not talking about cheap models here. from the consumer's point of view, the only thing that is good about Rolex is the oak movements, some of which are ready to serve for years, but with the design (from my point of view) they have big problems and there are fewer and fewer beautiful or interesting watches. It seems to me that they hired a Casio designer, or his brother, otherwise there is no way to explain the desire for terrible design lately in both the former and the latter :) if we talk about the mass market, the quality and tolerances of Asian watches are much higher, including in the premium lines of these brands. it’s like comparing the quality of a Japanese car with a Lamborghini/Ferrari (the first was a bucket of bolts, the second caught fire in my garage while idling). everything that I report and how I feel about it is my personal opinion, and does not at all prevent me from making money on what is advertised for you or what you are ready to use or desire. If you leave the thought that, in truth, you absolutely do not need a watch in most cases, and even more so, expensive watches, you still cannot ignore the fact that most companies are anti-people, i.e. they do the maximum of what they should not do, deliberately include weak elements in their products, limit access to spare parts, create artificial shortages and in hundreds of other ways parasitize on those who pay for it. people change their lives first for money and then for unnecessary rubbish. I don't think it's a good deal, even though I make money from it. there is no secret in the production of must-have watches and the formula for watches that will serve for more than one generation, despite the fact that everyone can service them, has long been known, but there are no such offers on the market ( almost). but almost all existing offers with known shortcomings are overpriced.

I don’t know the attitude of the local community towards direct links. but so that no one ends up on a fraudulent site or gets lost in the search for skxmod.com, I have nothing to do with them, but I’ve been watching them since they appeared, and I haven’t seen any negative reviews. There is also "kranio design" which also makes similar cases but I am not able to follow it because... he conducts his activities on sites that are not trustworthy, a strange choice, but apparently his main admirers and sales market are there.

The tissot company itself, in my eyes, is an absolute misunderstanding not worth the slightest attention. I'm sorry if anyone disagrees with my attitude towards the company, this is purely a personal opinion. If we talk about their model of electronic watch in the boring Tissot PRX case, for me there are significant drawbacks: 1) the back cover 2) no other bracelet fits 3) crazy inscriptions on the screen and branding, and if you break the screen, there is no other one (just sapphire) put it up and have to paint/draw on the glass. 4) I am not confident in simply replacing the electronic module and its widespread distribution and availability, i.e. nothing to do with a premium or quality lifestyle product.

If it's skxmod, it's a really great solution, practically eliminating all the shortcomings of all Casio models and other electronic watches. The advantages include the entire set of qualities in a complex. in one case you can get a back cover with four screws, as a result, easy replacement of the module or battery with the only tool that is absolutely everywhere. sapphire glass. fairly good processing in all colors and scratch-resistant processing in the main colors. Even the iron bracelets they have are made according to all canons on studs with a threaded connection. What is important is that we can get absolutely sterile versions and total unbranding. for people who need a large and clean image without garbage in the form of maps and small symbols, it is possible to insert a module from the casio dw-291 and not only from the casio 1200,1300,1600 models where there are a lot of unnecessary small details on the screen. By producing this case, skxmod created the ideal watch in terms of its set of qualities and the possibility of simple self-repair. There are two very minor drawbacks: 1) regular belts and bracelets don’t fit well with this case; it doesn’t look very laconic if you don’t use extenders. 2) there is no insert for sale under the screen that would have an “open” look like the link https://www.etsy.com/de-en/listing/1074710158/5-color-pack-framed-faceplate-casio but need beveled corners for a finished look. I would prefer mirror polished metal. I also saw the news that they are going to release a case similar to the f91, 158, 168 models... I don’t think this is a good idea since it has a completely stupid strap/bracelet mount. I think it would be better to focus on the f84, dw-1000 models, but for the 593 module inside, the belt fastening is better there - any will do, and so as not to have another rather thick case in the assortment, but to focus on a thin case because The functionality of these modules is limited.

I apologize to the entire community for your incorrect behavior and your messages, and that I have to urge you to be prudent for the second time, thereby creating unnecessary messages. You are behaving outrageously. you do not have the right to indicate and demand from anyone what you think is the correct opinion or behavior. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have an alternative opinion and discuss shortcomings. Please ignore my messages in the future. work on it ;)

beaucroftwatches.com are interesting and cute, I think they look even better in person. Farer, this particular model looks heavy and uninteresting, the other Farer models are not much better, it seems they are not trying at all. Please forgive me for my direct opinion, as I was given to understand in the comments under another post, here it is simply necessary to coat everyone with honey. but then how will we know the truth ;)
