This watch is way out of my budget but thought I’d share with the group. Seems like a good deal for a high horology piece, especially since it appears the dealer might consider further negotiation. Hopefully the attached link works. Curious if this is actually a good deal?

Hey Fed - both privately and publicly, members are feeling antsy. Personally, I just got charged for my third payment and I think everyone will agree the progress of everything has been a bit stuck in the mud. I have purchased three five figure watches since the inception of FTW collective that I had hoped would be related to this group but have not been.

The forum form and functionality is still bad by any objective and subjective measure, and needs to be changed yesterday. By your own stated metrics and goals the marketplace is still way behind. None of this thus far is a platform that should be charging members money, this is a slow launch beta that should be in experimantal phase.

That being said, and speaking on behalf of myself and others who are sharing the same sentiment: what can we do to help? Everyone wants to see this succeed and you have a lot of members who could assist in making this better.

We are here and eager to help wherever we can to have a positive impact.

Lets make this the greatest watch nerd group of all time!

Collectors may avoid or even disparage bronze watches for its tendency to patina. Sometime in quite ugly ways. It's largely due to neglect of the metal. I've owned the Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze Boutique Edition for near five years. I love its size and fit. It looks terrific and has been mistaken for rose gold. Once a flight steward spied it peeking out under my sweater and told me to be careful in the city I'd landed in. And I rarely wear any nice watch exposed. This just caught the eye! The trick is to immerse the watch fully in a bowl of cool water with two effervescent dental tabs. One hour is more than enough time. Most patina gone if one does this periodically. If you're hesitant to try bronze, this may have you reconsider.

This is the best price I found for the watch, but is the seller legit? Reviews on the web are mostly good, but some people say to steer clear of Feldmar Watch Company.

Hi everyone,

I am considering delving into vintage (or at least neo-vintage) arena - both of which I am totally unexperienced - and I have the following question:

Is it possible to have a vintage or neo-vintage watch with decent accuracy (say more/less around COSC specs) - after service - or the fact of being vintage makes it impossible to have decent accuracy measures?

Quite frequently I came across info like "-30 sec/day" (doesn't have to be 30 just to exemplify) and then something like "which is great/reasonable/acceptable for a vintage watch / a watch from this era".

So, if I buy a vintage and the accuracy is like the above stated is it possible that - after service - the watch will run within decent accuracy measures (say +/- 10 to 15 sec) ?

I am talking about brands like Omega / Breitling / IWC / Heuer / Tudor / Glashutte / Cartier among others.

Thanks in advance.
