Wristwatch collectors out there? - Page 10

Is there a site that explains the differences in the movements that Getat offers? By differences, are there any advantages or disadvantages to any of the movements? I'm completely clueless as to why I'd get one over another.

Email him and he's quick to respond...

the seagull movements are pretty good, hand winds are pretty darn accurate.

Ordered a custom Getat PAM homage yesterday. I'll post up pics when it gets here, but it'll look a lot like the normal 44mm superlume he offers. In fact, it's pretty much exactly that on the front side but it's PVD'd.

After looking over their website, I am pretty intrigued. Nice watches for a hundred bucks.

found a new love today, quite affordable as well, should be here in a week or two. 50mm's of pure PVD stealthyness!

Is there a stock photo you can show, or do we have to wait until it's delivered?

I like it. It's busy, and I'm sure it is far too big for me, but it's cool.

Very busy! just how i like it! will take pics when it arrives!

Sauer Grapes · 11-29-2009, 01:14 PM

I'll let you know what I think about quality. If I have a good experience, I'll probably be buying another in stainless or Ti instead of PVD next. I could see myself have about 3 of them eventually.

I customized some stuff, and shipping is $20 if you want the fast shipping. All together mine was $147. I could have gotten a similar one for under $100 shipped had I not done fast shipping and not added some stuff. My next one will be under $100 or close to it at least.

Also search for Jackson Tse. His webiste sucks but I've heard he is almost as good as Getat and he has some different styles.

gettysburgfreak · 11-29-2009, 04:15 PM

are these made in the United States?

Getat's and Jackson Tse's watches are made in Hong Kong. Their manual winding watches are apparently very accurate. Apparently their auto's are hit or miss at times.

That reminds me a lot of my Breitling (except black and the bezel looks like it came off a Bently series watch)

Is that one of those homage watches you guys were talking about at one point?

Also, what's with everyone's obsession to paint things black these days? First I saw cars with black wheels (yuck! looks dirty to me). Next I see cars with flat black paint (REALLY stupid looking if you ask me). Now black watches?

I will say 20 years ago when I was 13 I had a black and gold Seiko that I LOVED. The black paint chipped off SO fast. I was so mad.

The watches that are pvd, aren't painted black unless they aren't truly pvd. Pvd is a chemical process and it shouldn't come off easily, if at all. IIRC

That's good to know that PVD watches are more durable than my old Seiko. I still don't understand why everyone wants everything to be black. Maybe it's my low intellect but I like shiny things.
