Looking to buy my first nicer watch in january to celebrate surviving my rather intense work schedule in december. Having fallen into the watch-youtube rabbit hole I’m not even sure I can call these pieces “nicer” but the ones I am liking at the moment are the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42mm, 42mm Murph and the Longines Conquest black dial. Looking for a daily driver that I can use for the next 10+ years. Is that even realistic in this price point?
Would also love recommendations in this price point for a big wristed feller.
Just gonna send this here $150 Orient in for it’s $99 service plus shipping every 3-5 years?
Insanity. Some watches are disposable.
3-5 years is pretty frequent as far as servicing intervals go.
At a certain point, it’s cheaper to just replace the whole movement than it is to get it serviced. Even if it is most of the price of a new watch.
If you dispose of your next orient, once its 3-5 years old, hit me up. I will make sure it’s disposed of properly!
Why does it need service? Regulate it if you want but unless something’s wrong it doesn’t need a service
