Sifu all,

What is the diff between automatic and mechanical?
I assume its the same?

If they mention Japan movement, is it = Quartz, Swiss movement = Mechanical?

I decide to get this watch end of the month. Do you think is worth paying 24k for this?

On to the Bell & Ross: They are good-looking watches and I know many people like them. However, they do something that is almost inexcusable in the eyes of the Watch Snob. Bell & Ross is a prime example of a company that is selling nothing more than a cool-looking case and a dynamite marketing plan. Every single one of its watches use nothing more than a stock, off-the-shelf ETA automatic movement, the same movement you can buy yourself for around $300. Yet, the price of the average Bell & Ross hovers around $4,500.

You tell me: Are you OK paying that much money knowing how much the movement costs and that it’s not even its own? Hell, even its $163,000 Tourbillon Phantom watch uses a movement bought from somebody else.

Watches are as much a craft as they are an accessory, and while I don’t find the looks of the Bell & Ross line to be tacky like your father, I do find everything else about them to be distasteful and utterly offensive. A watch is about the entire package, not just its appearance. Any large watch company not making its own movement is not making a watch at all; they’re just playing dress-up.

Well he has strong opinion.
Take his advice with a pinch of salt.
Buy what you like, not others.

Is it true?

the ETA argument has been softened by tudor again.
it also has converted some movement snobs to do an about turn on what matters more in a timepiece, though seeing some of them purchasing a tudor just screams hypocrisy.

that said, just buy what u like...don't be like some ktards in this forum who can even ask what underwear they should buy...

So... what matters more to you?

And the Tudor thing.. not that it mattered but they do use top grade ETAs and they do modify them a little.

I've got a wide range from swatch to omega...so I just buy what I feel like wearing for diff occasions / situations.
the eta being modified...yes if taking a step backwards can be considered... why its done no one cept tudor knows...perhaps to make it more troublesome for regular guys to service, or to make it so that only tudor can service easily service it...

Hi guys, I'm out to shop for a watch as a birthday present for my partner.

Been looking at ladies TAG aquaracer, it looks good enough for me but sadly it's a quartz and going for close to 5k.

Aside from TAG, I went to look at Tudor as well, size is good but the bezel and bracelet puts me off.

Oris has some good automatic watch like Oris Artelier going for 4k+. I then went and look at some Longines too, generally it looks okay an with automatic movement.

I'm quite spilt between choice, I like how tha aquaracer looks but I prefer it to have automatic movement..

Which is the better choice? Longines?

Nothing wrong with quartz.

Do your partner wear a watch all the time? My wife don't wear one during the weekends and after working hours so its quite a chore to set the time again on monday mornings.

Is she into dive watches? Sometimes what appeals to males is very different to what appeals to ladies.

I think there's a Omega Constellation quartz model for ladies that's in the ballpark of your 5K budget.
