  1. Affordable watches
    Hi everybody! Sorry if I screw anything up here, I made an account so I could ask for your advice on what watch to buy for my nephew. He has a very small collection of watches, and has liked watches before in my price range, so I think I can surprise him without hurting my wallet too bad-- if...
  2. Straps & Bracelets
    i am looking for a short, and thin Nato Strap, the one that came with my Alpin Startimer Pilot, is: 260mm (without the buckle) and 1,1mm thick (i have found some that are around 1.2mm which is no problem) when i was looking for new Natos i was surprised to see that most are around 290-300mm long...

    Watch Fam, I have a Visitor Linden (Miyota 9015) that needs repaired. I'm not quite sure of the problem, but it doesn't wind the movement anymore when I wear it; likely something to do with the rotor. Also, something like a screw or a part also sounds loose when you shake it close to your ear...
  4. Straps & Bracelets
    I recently bought this from a WUSer, and he kindly supplied a DeLuca strap with it. I wanted to extend the Titanuim vibe of the watch with a bracelet, but find nothing on the Maratac site. I tried the bracelet for the SR 35, but no surprise, it does not fit. Currently looking "ok" on this Obris...

    I'm a complete novice when it comes to watches, but I wanted to see how much I'd miss my Smartwatch if I gave it up for a mechanical. I got an automatic and really have enjoyed it, but there are two problems with it that I wanted advice on. I'm happy to look at another watch (famous last...

    Hello all, First post looking for recommendations for a retirement gift for a business colleague. Youngish (late 50’s) business professional. Well dressed on a daily basis in work setting, but haven’t noticed what he wears watch-wise. Don’t know much about him personally, but seems active...

    Hi guys, looking for recommendations because Rolex's can certainly fetch a good price these days. I have a two tone GMT master II and lately I've been traveling more and more and because of that it feels like more of a hassle to bring it along. Ironic because I'm traveling. A few years ago I...

    Hello! :) I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on watches that would fit a small (~6.3") wrist. Budget will be around $2000-$2500 I like dive watches, and would prefer a watch to have at least 100m-150m WR. Although a lower WR won't be a deal breaker if I really like the watch...

    Hey Folks -- Buying my first "grown up" watch & seeking this amazing community's help! Been looking for ~2 months now, which should tell you I enjoy the research as much as the product. Issue is - I have a flat 6" wrist. Seems like lug-to-lug and lug curve is more important than case size -...

    Uncertain if this fits here but giving it a shot, I have a diver watch 42mm diameter, 15mm thickness, 50 mm L2L, and 22mm lug, and looking for a high quality metal bracelet. The one I have on it is fine but want one with a locking clasp for that added security(style in pic). So looking for good...
  11. Seiko
    I've got a 5625-7000 King Seiko with a "blocky" dial variant. I don't wear it much because it's got some stains around the edge of the dial that really bug me when I look at it. However, I love the case design, and I was wearing this watch during a particularly momentous event in my life, and...
  12. Vintage & Pocket watches
    Hi All, I have been desperatly searching for a good watch marker in Berlin who is confident servicing a vintage Rolex Oyster. Most seem to be limited to just the basic battery and strap changes and not touch vintage manual winds. Ideally, does anyone have a watchmaker to recommend in Berlin...
  13. Vintage & Pocket watches
    Hello all, I have a vintage watch that i'm looking to get serviced. I live in the SW Ohio region so i'm looking for a reputable individual/company that could service my watch within the local area (I would also be willing to go to Cbus). Ohh and I got an estimate from govberg watch repair and...
  14. Chinese Mechanical watches
    Hi F72! I mainly hang out in the Affordable and Seiko sections, and I'm looking to try something new! I'm looking for a crash course on what's considered the cream of the crop here. E.g. like the SARB033, SKX007 and SRP777 Turtle are the darlings of the Seiko section, and the Steinhart Ocean...

    Hi everyone! I'm back to ask for your help. My wife has decided (much to my watch-hound happiness) that she needs and wants a daily-wear analog wristwatch. She's never worn one consistently before, and has never owned a quality timepiece (there have been a few $20-$30 USD fashion watches that...

    So I am in the market for a new watch. I think I've decided that I want a Citizen Eco Drive. I'm looking for one thats got a metal band, and no more than 250$ (I am a broke college student lol). I want to know if any of you guys have suggestions for me. Feel free to recommend anything, not just...
  17. Russian watches
    I'm hoping the experts here can help guide me to affordable models of Soviet-era chronographs. Some more specific notes: Necessity? Paul Newman wore a Rolex Daytona, and astronauts wear them (Seikos, right?), so it seems to me that it's an essential element of a watch collection, especially to...

    Hello! This is my first post here (I joined yesterday), and I'm very new to the watch world. I'm finding it very interesting so far! Also, note: I didn't know whether to post this here in Affordable Watches, or in the main forum (I don't know yet what price range is considered affordable, but I...

    Hi there, After having spent quite some time lurking on WUS, it's finally time to come out in the open :-) Quick background: I wore a yellow G-Shock Gaussman through my teenage years, followed by a Tag Heuer Searacer through college and beyond. I just turned 30, and I'm now looking for a...

    Looking for recommendations for watch maintenance specialists (for adjusting, oiling, maintenance) of mechanical/automatic watches in the NoVa area of the US. Like all, I'm looking for "best bang for the buck" and do not wish to pay "arm & leg" prices... I've a Revue Thommen (Réserve de...
