How a Watch Works     (www.youtube.com)

This video from 1949 produced by the Hamilton Watch company (A heritage American watchmaker), uses a Hamilton 747 movement to instruct the audience on how an automatic wristwatch (or pocketwatch) works. Save for some improvements and complications by various manufacturers, the general engineering concept for a basic timepiece has been largely unchanged for 300 or so years. I am not very mechanically minded, but certainly the Mechanics, Engineers and Architects amongst you should be informed/entertained by this video.

Common quote you’ll hear/see:

“Rolex isn’t the best at anything, but they do a lot of things well.”

Yeah, well beat that Patek/Vacheron/AP/Omega.

Some watches may be rated for going deeper, but they probably would not be working after 5 years submerged with oxidation.

If You Had $10K To Spend Solely On a Wristwatch (Brand New—Not Used) What One Would You Get     (Wristwatches)

I am considering several:

Grand Seiko Snowflake

Grand Seiko Genbi Valley

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Sapphire Sandwich

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer

Tag Heuer Monaco Gulf Edition

Rolex Yachtmaster White Walker (actually a bit more at $12K)

Right now, I’m leaning towards the Omega World Timer, but I already have blue dial watches and I don’t like the shade of green they have for the other model.

...is when Hans Gruber is holding onto Holly Mclane's wrist as he is falling out of the Nakatomi Tower and John McClane unclasps her Rolex thereby sacrificing it so Gruber can finally fall and die.

Pretty cool looking watch. Its about 3K and the snake feature has an on/off button. If you let the snake run it will last for around 38 hours before you need to change the battery

She was wearing an AP in Mott Haven!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with NYC, the Bronx (with the exception of like 4 neighborhoods) is the poorest boro of the city. The Bronx has roughly 30-35 neighborhoods and Mott Haven is probably in the top 3 in terms of poverty and criminality. This chick was likely either a stripper, a drug dealer's GF, or both. You're not living in Mott Haven and wearing luxury wristwatches from your gainful, mainstream employment. There is probably less than a 1% chance of that being possible. To contrast, I own 3 less-expensive Rolexes, but I'm a man and I would not be in that neighborhood wearing one. Plus, I'm 6'7" and willing to fight. This chick is lucky they didn't shoot her or hack her arm off. That neighborhood is nothing but Blacks, Ricans and Dominicans and half of them are gang members. Real bad news.

Dishonesty catches up with him. Pretty sure this Jew earns a living defrauding people and institutions. (He apparently lied about the value of the watch, too).     (nypost.com)

Didn’t have a chance to get it repaired. It sat around for a year+. Hopefully, I’ll get some more use from this thing. I paid like $380 for it.

When I asked, he confirmed it was a Muller, it looked real and like the one in the picture. Nice watch.

Crystal and Dial looked OK, but I’m no expert. Bracelet and Clasp looked real cheap.

$15K is about as high as I go for a watch and that's no casual purchase on my salary.

This is why a good watch that you can pass on to someone starts at like $1200. The Modern version of that Omega Seamaster is probably about $7K and worth every penny. It will last 100 years with servicing every 5-10 years.

Doesn’t look like a Rolex. Probably not a Bulova. Judging the era, I am going to guess maybe a Longines or a Hamilton.

https://www.reddit.com/r/theTPGfiles/

Meanspirited Reddit board dedicated mostly to prison-bound scammer Anthony Farrer aka "The Timepiece Gentleman." Funniest thing is when they found his profile on RentMasseur.com as gay-for-pay underworld tugboy "Travis Baker." The memes on this board are spicy and crazy and also make fun of other creeps and Jews in the watch re-selling industry like Roman Sharf, TraxNYC and Nico Leonard. Give it a try.
