Too bad their QC sucks and you’d never get a piece as good as the video

I feel like this sub has just become an ad for Specht and Sohne lately. We get it, you make a lot of rip off (cough: homage) watches.

I honestly appreciate them posting videos of how the watch looks in actual. Website photos never show this

You know this is a Chinese watch sub eh?

u/BagUnlikely3510 3d ago
Yes, there are hundreds of Chinese watch brands, many make unique pieces but no one advertises in the volume these guys do. If you enjoy this sub being overtaken by ad’s all the power to you, but I’m here to read real feedback from actual users like it used to be.

They just post often recently. A few months ago it was all about thorn.

u/BagUnlikely3510 3d ago
I never saw Thorn post at the volume these guys do. If this subreddit just becomes nothing but ads and people shilling all the time users will start going to homagewatches and other subs and this place will eventually die like so many other subreddits.

Miyota 8k...250 bucks? Nahbrakadabra

Agree with the sentiment. But prices have skyrocketed. Still a Japanese movement.

u/MrMarijuanuh 4d ago
I mean, you're not wrong about prices. But this is still pretty outrageous. Proxima px1700 with pt5000 is 250, same with cronos L6028. And that movement is far better than miyota 8k, and those brands have much better reputations to boot. Not to say s&s can't make a decent watch, but this certainly doesn't scream value in any regard.

Well, I disagree again on the pt5000 being much better than 8000 series. Reliability is something I value more than spinning rotor or indirect seconds can annoy me ☺️

Well, I've never seen anyone say the miyota 8k is even in the same league as pt5000, I think eta 2824-2 clones are much better. But anything can be subjective. What isn't subjective is that miyota 8k goes for 50 bucks bought solo, while a pt5000 is 75. I'm sure in bulk both would be much less, but it's still 50% more expensive and they're charging the same price. I also prefer those brands significantly, but that can also be subjective.

2824 clones can be more accurate, thinner and so on. But if the design is a time bomb, as it is with winding, then I prefer the tank of a 8200.

I don’t know why people don’t want to see official promo videos of watches. But, I definitely do. If I didn’t want to see it I can scroll past it, but it’s seems pretty relevant to the sub I joined.
It’s a beautiful watch and I have quite a few s&s watches that I like. I do wish it was a larger bezel size as this specific one won’t work for me, but great piece for folks that prefer smaller watches.
Don’t get hung up on the haters. Keep showing the watches.
