Is this a good watch ? Experts please comment:

I personally wouldn't give this watch a second look. It is basic with no functions no style and no bullshit factor. Get a chronograph or a vintage watch.

yes...vintage watch is cool ...and i prefer the mechanics of the tourbillon ...Double and quadruple tourbillons is my fav .

Usually a leather base with a clip or double sided leather folder with the clip in between. However, there's an advantage with US Dollar. All dollar bills are of the same size from US$1 to US$100. Easy to use with a money clip. That's why it's popular in US only.

over in japan ..japanese still prefer cash . hermes money clip also look cool .

It simply makes no sense to get a so-called timepiece, unless you want it as jewellery. Your phone and computer can tell the time more precisely nowadays with auto-updating. If you need even more precise timing, get a stopwatch.

Some people, swear by their Casio Watches, or even their Mickey House watch.

A man after my own heart. Just looked on Youtube, there are lots of bullshitters exhibiting their pride and joy. Can't blame them, they're absolutely stunning, much more than a watch, more like a living thing.

ooer!

How to justify good watch?
1. Accurate time
2. Water proof
3. Battery can last very long or no battery.
4. Screen/glass anti scratch

I did away with wrist watch after having a mobile with me all the time. Waiting for the day, when a watch can also function as mobile, maybe I will switch back.

Any watch is digital is not a good quality. Because electronic dont last that long.

I'm also wondering why Nomos is considered ordinary when it was mentioned that Lange & Zohne was made from the same factory.

If German are not good watchmakers, then why people are going crazy over Franck Mueller.

On 1st March 1965, OMEGA's Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions". Rolex did not hit the mark.

I bought my first winding watch CYMA a few years ago thinking mechanical will last a lifetime and it is an established brand. knn a few months ago, the winding knob broke when I tried to rewind. Sent for servicing took two months plus and paid $195 for it. Not cheap watch btw. A Rolex is a Rolex

When you go Ratchada for pumping exercise, also must have a watch standby to make sure you hit the 45-minute mark before you offload.
