good read, thanks I have new watch the seamaster 2500, 300m but something to consider; do you want to push away the servicing to the limit or do it on regular intervals. Personally i would love the feeling of have to get out high mileage as to speak from the watch and then receiving like new polished version to start again. I was told really servicing should be done every 3 years and also as soon as it starts to loose time.
May be - I often like reading the comments more anyway - I'm fascinated by the weird stance and justification on 'deliberately' trashing the hands - seems very odd for a qualified WIS
Yes, as do his comments about the dial (but not the hands!) representing the past. Seems odd for a website purporting to specialize in high end (vintage) watches.
Agreed - it's almost like he forgot about the hands, got called out on it, then made up a bunch of mumbo jumbo .... Whatever - It's his watch ... But he says he wears that every day ? A 1985 speedy ? I love speedys as much as anyone ( well not as much as @Barking mad or @Spacefruit ) but seems odd for the Editor of Hodinkee or whatever he is ...
Hey, they have sponsors. I understand. That's why I like to get my vintage watch fill on this forum - sponsor free. For a bigger laugh, try reading some of the posts on the iwc.com forum.
