This is a really rookie post on my end but how does one sell ⌚? I am aware about eBay, Reddit, and Chrono24, but how does one know how to price the...

How many times do you rotate your ⌚?

As my "collection" grows, I find myself wishing to slough off the old while ushering in the new. As such, I tend to prioritize new ⌚ over older ones, which makes me wonder if more than one ⌚ at a ti...

Unless I am mistaken, it appears to be an original design.

Even if not, I like it.

I have it here under the cuff of my white coat briefly glancing at several time zones.

commented on What's your opinion on affordable mecaquartz chronographs? ·

They work.

#brew made a nice chronograph with the Brew Metric using a Seiko mechaquartz mechanism.

Nicer appearance than just a quartz chronograph mechanism itself.

The SN0116 GMT is one of the most pleasant surprises I encountered.

No, it is not a Tudor or Rolex, but the ceramic bezel and beads of rice bracelet make it both attractive and pleasing to wear.

Though an interesting ⌚, the Bel Canto is not worth the wait.

If you seek a ⌚ with sound, pay a bit more and consider the Vulcain Cricket.

Similarly, the +/-$4000 can find some nice new ⌚ on JomaShop.

Despite the innovation behind the Bel Canto, it only chimes once per hour, which makes the complication somewhat oversold - even if at $4000.

Alternatively, you could wait for a while to see if any pop up on the secondary market later for less.

Such a collaboration is. . .strange.

Jeep has reliability issues and is more of a civilian vehicle, whereas Marathon has a strong military tradition.

My success with Ракета ⌚ has been much better than with Восток ⌚.

Not sure how many ⌚ from either company will come from 🇷🇺 these days, though.

By chance, did Ракета ever happen to make clocks?

Microbrands are particularly guilty of this accusation.

I do not hate microbrands.

Some are quite interesting but not when multiple equal a ⌚ one may really want.

The inability to sell microbrands at a reasonable price only compounds the regret.
