·I know nothing of VC, vintage or otherwise, but the second I saw that crown pic, my spidey-senses came on and I thought to myself that I recall vintage Seiko using a similar crown... "Seiko Waterproof" 📖
H(od)i(nkee)larious!

·I have never studied vintage VC from this period very closely. Their movements from this period puzzle me as they do not seem to always be their own design, i.e. JLC or other makers', I'm not sure. You kind of want a "pure" VC.

··Ωf Jury memberWell, I see no poor rationalization here. Being different to yours does not make it poor.
It's poor not because it is different from my view, but because of the facts that I have presented.
However, let's not forget that, as I said, the average Hodinkee buyer is not one that asks for a movement pic. Any unnecessary time spent doing something your customers don't appreciate is a waste of time
Suggesting that it would somehow be a waste of time to provide a movement image is, frankly ridiculous. It would take no more than a couple of minutes. Furthermore, and most importantly, it can be done in order to hide flaws, which, without an accurate, written condition report, would be the very definition of dishonesty.

Well, since Hondinkee themselves gave the advice for years not to buy a vintage watch without seeing a movement photo, I guess their customers don't even take Hodinkee's advice then...

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerHodinkee is to the watch world what John Mayer is to music.
IMO that is unfair to John Mayer's talent, which is substantial. No matter what you might think of him as a human being, watch collector, or the kind of music he plays, he is likely one of the most underrated guitar players out there, mostly because of his image as Justin Beiber's older brother in Johnny Depp's worst clothes.
Saw him in concert once - my wife was given tickets to it by her workplace, because no one else there wanted them - this is when his first album came out. The whole place was full of 15 year old girls, screaming their heads off. But during the times that they were not drowning out the music, his talent was apparent. We eventually had to leave because of the screaming, which was a shame, because he was actually really good...far better than I was expecting.

This is true. I saw him live once and he is a virtuoso on the guitar. Exceptional talent.
Definitely one of the greats, despite burdening humanity with saccharine trite such as your body is a wonderland.

Couldn't agree more. As a guitar player, I am in awe of Mayer's talents. He is one of the best and most musical players alive today, on top of being a great songwriter and singer. And I'm not normally a big fan of the genres he plans.

·Hodinkee is for horological fetishists in second tier cities who are marketing managers for financial institutions but go around calling themselves bankers whilst wearing thrift store cardigans.
That goofball Pulvirent is the ultimate charlatan.
There is better watch content and writing on OF.
Holy cow, you out-snobbed the "Dink!"

·My comment telling them how terrible these photos are (the speedy especially) was not published….
Real fυcking chutzpah to actually offer shitty photographs as a exclusive “feature”.
Here’s some custom wallpaper for Smartwool and PF Flyer-
but remember where you got it and that it was FREE!
And please refrain from the judgment on the mismatched argyles to tennies- it’s still covid times, we don’t have to match.
