Date: December 7th, 2025 4:55 PM Author: Nubile startling national Sinn are nice, they make one or two I considered but in the end realized i’d never wear. Bremont designs are uninspiring IMO. I was going to get a Ming GMT but again decided it’d never end up being worn. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807606&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=4593694#49491918) |

Date: December 7th, 2025 5:33 PM Author: rough-skinned market I was considering 37.11 on polymesh
Bremont as a brand seems terrible but what about Altitude MB Meteor orange barrel (or stealth)? It seems crazy over-engineered for the price, like a Mil gauss on steroids. And has a modicum of heritage and the cockpit ejection certification. |

Date: December 7th, 2025 5:35 PM Author: Nubile startling national I think they're both cool pieces. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807606&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=4593694#49491998) |

if you're looking at german watches that aren't crazy expensive, nomos, junghans and for 1-handers meistersinger. |

Date: December 7th, 2025 5:34 PM Author: rough-skinned market I was looking for a reason to not order a u50 sight unseen
I guess I'm surprised that a German brand has shitty qc or is it just a logistic issue? Can't any decent jeweler service a sw300 |

Date: December 7th, 2025 6:59 PM Author: Adventurous lilac chapel that model doesn't have any of their 'tech' like the argon gas (germany service required), copper capsule (can be serviced in the us), etc. so you're safe with that one. not so much a fan of the bezel action or lume.
side note, there is an aliexpress knock off of that watch with better lume and clasp (but ttt movement) for like $250 |

Full dial lume is the only thing I like about any Sinn ref

They're releasing a full lume everything watch imo
Even the strap will be lumed up the ass |

But if you meant besides LVMH, then Cartier or Chopard |
|
Date: December 10th, 2025 6:02 PM Author: Nubile startling national All of those brands make actual high end nice pieces though. Also Cartier has great history. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807606&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=4593694#49500429) |

Date: December 10th, 2025 10:02 PM Author: rough-skinned market I can't tell if you're saying LV sucks or Veuve Clicquot
Some of the new Tambours look incredible imo. They don't have Cartier heritage or prestige but they seem to have surpassed Cartier at the ultra high end of horology |
