If they are selling a watch with a fake part then they aren’t reputable. Duh
I'm not sure if it's been said already, but my $0.02 on the precious metal convo, is that the metal doesn't matter. They're collector's items that are never going to be smelted down for face value (heh), which means it's a matter of preference. Tastes will change, collectors will want different things. Why is it so crazy that steel will be more valuable than gold sometimes? It might swing the other way soon, or towards another metal.
Thanks @Dino944 and @Belligero for your detailed answers on watch servicing. Both of you say that parts are the limiting factor on a mechanical watch's lifespan. Do you also see the possibility in the not-too-distant future of not enough people with the knowledge to work on mechanical watches, particularly more complicated ones? Not sure how many younger people want to go into the field.
Curious if anyone knows of an online resource that definitively tells you the strap size you should be ordering for a watch (@Dino944, not sure if you might know). I measured the strap width on my PP 5130 and I "thought" it came out to 20mm x 16mm, but the lug width per PP is 21mm. Not sure if the 1mm difference I seemed to have found is due to the strap needing to be slightly smaller than the lug width or whether PP already accounted for that in their lug width measurement. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays.
Saw this in The Rake but couldn't find it online, so thought I would post it. Looks odd in bronze but it may appeal to some. 150 pieces.
