Not sure if it’s worth the $1300 price tag or what it does but thought it looked neat in a futuristic retro sort of way
- Oh shit did a bit of digging and it’s a re-issue of the original 1970 pulsar which was revolutionary at the time, and cost more than a Rolex._niko
- 1980's clock radio vibes. I'd pay a cool $40 for it.section_014
- $1300 seems crazy for that. $800 with that nice PVD coating maybe. I kinda like the gold one though. Saul Goodman vibes.mandomafioso

Considering getting a new timepiece. These are the ones I am looking at, all around the same price.
Thoughts? (mostly curious)
Panerai Luminor
Omega Speedmaster (though the O+Swatch kinda kills this for me)
Breitling Transocean Chrono
IWC Portugesier Chrono
- Photoshop out all the brand names and then decide - eg:shapesalad
- 1 - It's a bit of a clunky, confused square round design.
2 - Standard, generic looking mans watch.
3 - modern version of 2.
4 -cheap looking catalogue watchshapesalad - Breitling gets my vote as it's the nicest looking. In terms of logos, I like Omega's logo best.shapesalad
- Speedmaster is too common, I rather have the IWC but in all black. Rolex trumps them all.pinkfloyd
- No Rolex for me, too overhyped and overpriced these days. I used to love the Daytona, but too small and waaay to much for what you get.formed
- I'd only get a black one of any of these. Blue is nice if you have several watches, tho.formed
- How about spending your $3K+ on this instead? https://www.ebay.com…Nairn
- Rolex isn't common?Nairn
- The Breitling looks pretty nice, but I don't like their new logo.pinkfloyd
- Nairn, depends on the rolex modelpinkfloyd
- dumbasspinkfloyd
- lol @ shapesalad's opinionspinkfloyd
- Laugh all you want but people buy terrible looking things from a aesthetic perspective based on the fundamentals of design with an origin in nature...shapesalad
- ...purely because a logo is on it. "Oh it's a ___, oh cool" yet without that brand name on it, sold in a cheap shop and you'd think it looked shit.shapesalad
- lolpinkfloyd
- "confused square round design." lmaopinkfloyd
- all of these are fugly over hyped over priced tat. by all means buy one, but you're wasting your money. a rolex at least will hold its value i suppose.hans_glib
- yep to rolex. agree with Hans. Either get a nice cheap eBay vintage and put a nice strap on it, or get a rolex. anything in-between is a money sink hole.shapesalad
- Panerai, wonderful watchrobthelad
- They all hold their value and are fairly solid investments. Look at the resale. As I noted, Rolex has been overhyped/overpriced for several years now.formed
- Making them a pretty speculative investment at this point (10 years ago it was different). Too common for me, personally.formed
- @ss these are about $6-8k. Can't get a decent watch for $3k, unless it's used.formed
- I do care about a brand name and pedigree. That's where the investment is and what will keep the value.formed
- how are you guys designers without knowing the importance of brandingpinkfloyd

I have a Seiko dive watch from the 80s. Is it possible to get these things repaired? If so, where? I sent it to Seiko back in the 90s and they said they no longer had the parts.
- Whats the reference numbercannonball1978
- Canonball, I have no idea what you mean. Is that helpful?lemmy_k
- Best to speak to someone in person if you can. Some online fixers will only quote once you've sent them the watch, and keep it if you don't get the work done.Fax_Benson

- quality control has gone down since the 90s on braun pieces.trooperbill
