MWC - Official Misc Wristwatch Crew Part VI: Patek or Bust - READ the OP

PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING

+Welcome to the sixth installment of the Misc Wristwatch Crew, the thread to discuss watches, horology, watchmaking and closely related luxury products.
+Many believe there is nothing more to watches than looks, but as you will find in this thread - that could not be farther from the truth.


THREAD RULES

+Don't post fashion watches or watches with little or no horological value (Micheal Kors, Diesel, Armani, Fossil etc)
+Don't bump this thread , there are many subscribers, your post is not invisible - it's probably just not interesting.
+Don't quote posts with lots of images, put the images in spoiler tags instead [spoiler ][ /spoiler]
+Don't ask vague questions , such as "I'm looking for a watch under $500, any suggestions?". Be specific; budget, size, function, material,…
+Don't post or discuss counterfeit watches

You may be negged for breaking these rules. Spamming or very aggressive behavior will be reported. Our crew is home to a lot of high rep members!


Watch Buying Advice:

If you're looking to buy used, a lot of the guys in the MWWC can help you
Buying used saves you money, and this way the watch (generally) doesn't lose any value after your purchase (meaning you can always sell it again for the same price or more). It's a good way to discover your tastes when just getting into the game.

we don't talk about them because there's nothing to talk about. They're cheap Chinese rubbish, not even made by the company whose name is on the dial. They don't belong in a thread dedicated to the history, precision and fineness of horology

Snobs? Bish pls, the most widely liked brand amongst all watch enthusiasts is Seiko, ya goose-burger…
