German Watch Pricing: Thinner Margins Than the Swiss Means Higher Value
German watches enjoy a lot of appeal to many watch enthusiasts due to their quality and relatively high value for the price. No one can sum up the entirety of German watches in one bold statement, but overall, German watches are more dedicated toward usability and performance than the prestige that most Swiss watches go for.My favorite examples of German Watch makers of Glashutte, Sinn, Limes, and Temption. Each of these makers produces beautiful timepieces which are as much tools as they are works of art. Glashutte is the most prestigious of the above four being the only house-manufacture. This means they produce and develop their own movements as opposed to buying movements kits. However, house-manufactures are uncommon, and the watches they produce demand very high prices. Movements purchased from such as ETA are often higher quality that a house-movement.Sinn, Limes, and Temption each utilize movement kits, but make their own very high-quality cases. Often times these watch makers

Patek 5167 clasp issue - need advice
Ok mates... My question is that I am having concerns about my new 5167 clasp on rubber strap. My understanding in closing the clasp is palm up and then fold the left piece over and click it into place. Then, fold the right side of the clasp over and click it into place. The problem is that when I fold the right half over to click it into place the left piece pops open almost every time. What I've been doing is when I click the left piece down, I fold the right piece over and put pressure on the right and left piece together to click it into place. This seems to work but it was my understanding that you fold each piece individually to fasten the buckle. With that said, is this normal or is there something wrong with the buckle in your opinion ?? Thanks for your help.

Black bay dark
Good day TRF,I have been thinking to add the tudor black bay dark for a while. I really like the idea of having all black watch for a change. I think it is fun and out of the normal steel / pm regular looks. It would be used as part of a rotation and mostly in weekends and casual occasions. I checked few options in breitling and Panerai but honestly the BB dark was the one that spoke to me most. I also like the black shield from tudor specially due to the fact that it is made of ceramic and it looks very cool. But what hesitates me of going the black shield route are: the ETA movement as opposed to bb dark's in house, the lack of bracelet (I prefer bracelets over straps) and the poor resale value. On the other hand, I keep reading that the pvd coating of the BB dark will get scratches and will look very bad in short time. I am usually careful with my watches but you never know. So I want opinions / experiences of bb dark owners here and recommendations of all are welcome. Thank you.
