Looking for my first Automatic watch and this one caught my eye. I'm just a bit doubtful if I should go with Maserati or not. Please suggest.
Any more recommendations about some visible Skeleton but dial should easy to read kind of watch would be very helpful.
Budget: Upto 30k
I have always loved watches and bought myself a watch as a milestone for every big achievement so far(nothing too fancy). Unfortunately, for the last few years I haven’t been financially stable, and pretty much lived paycheque to paycheque.
I’m happy to say that I’m now doing pretty good for myself- even set to receive a promotion at work next month! Yay!
I would really appreciate some suggestions since I am struggling to find something of great value at this price.
Hi all,
I would like to purchase my first automatic watch and plan to use it occasionally. I have narrowed it down to three models:
It would be great if you could share your inputs.
I bought this one online and it got shipped to my house today. Cant help but notice there are two different white tones between the bezel markings and the dial numerals. Is this part of the design or just common aging and I should return it? Bought it on watchdirect website in Australia.

Hey Guys, 1st time posting something here :) Got this Seiko 5 GMT a few weeks ago, as I was planning a long trip. Was not sure about the color, but 18.500km in my trip and fresh out of the ocean I love it more and more (and yes, i should not go into the ocean with a leather strap, but i like it much more then my spare rubber I brought along as spare)
I like the Hamilton Jazzmaster (850$) and the Maurice Lacroix Aikon Quartz (1200$) both silver and gold with a white faces.
Thank you!
Hello all,
I just wanted to warn you all about Aventi. For these you don't know them, they are a company created in 2020 that create affordable tourbillon watches.
So here is my experience with them:
18 months ago (may 2023) I ordered an A13 Ghost and I fully paid it (I know I'm stupid to do an advanced payment and I've learned the lesson but it was the only way to buy the watch) and they promised me a delivery in february 2024. When the date arrived, they postponed it one more month and they continued to do so till november, when I finally decided to ask for a refund. After asking for the refund, a new nightmare has started as they claim they are short of cash and are telling me all kind of excuses. It is crazy that they are keeping my money but I'm starting to believe that they are broke and this will soon collapse.
However, although they have explained that they have suffered setbacks as a company, they try to give a completely opposite message and do not stop announcing their growth and new launches without first ensuring that the customers they already have have the product first.
I will sue them in Singapore. If there is any other member with same problem as me, please DM me
Hi everyone,
I’m incredibly grateful to have been able to purchase two dream watches at 25: a Rolex Pepsi and a Christiaan van der Klaauw Ariadne. These pieces mean a lot to me, and I’m proud to have acquired them through hard work and thoughtful choices.
Now I’m facing a new dilemma. I have the opportunity to buy an IWC at a discount, but my heart is set on a Jaeger-LeCoultre, which I plan to save for and hopefully purchase in a year. In the meantime, I’m curious to know which IWC watch in the €5,000 to €10,000 range would be a good choice in terms of value retention and enjoyment. I’d really appreciate your advice!
Thanks for your input!
This is my daily beater for the past two years, great visuals, reliable st19 movt with 45 hours reserve time, this thing is a strap monster!! love playing around with different straps and bracelets,I chose sapphire crystal over acrylic as it is less likely to get scratched. All and all a great value for $150
I'm hoping someone can help me find out the Model and Price of this watch
Not long ago, I bought a watch, to be specific it was a Pulsar Chronograph. However, When I bought it from the seller they told me they didn't know the Model of the watch neither the price they got it for. I decided to do a image search on google and I still couldn't find a match of the watch.
Can someone help me find the model of the watch and it's price. Thank you
This watch was given to me by my late grandfather, all I know is that this is somehow related to the Korean War? Maybe it’s a commemoration piece, a reward or an issued item. I have no idea, he did fight in the PLA during the time though
Finally got one! Bought just today! The rose gold accent is just way too good! Thank you for the help guys!
Hey Guys,
im struggling to find any information about this watch, any Help would be greatly appreciated
