Then, with due respect...
Just get yourself a Lange, and spare us the rant. Youtube said it, so it must be right.
I much prefer Lange over Patek, but your rant is repetitive and tiresome.
Learning about quality finishing and I was wondering
I have been wondering and reading about movement finishing. Machine vs hand finishing. Different types. Different styles (varying by country: Swiss, German, Japanese, Dutch, Austrian). I’m a bit confused about the matter because I think my eyes are still ...
This is such a big topic which will take more than just a reply so i will answer with the ultimate show of watch finishing is in a skeleton dial.
For me the newly released Piaget Polo skeleton and the Bulgari Octo Skeleton are examples of exceptional finishing with value in mind. ...
Some suggestions:
under 25k: I think this is a good price range for starting to look at high end finishings. Quality anglage, engraving, enamel/guilloche dials, black polished parts, gold chatons, and gold rotors can be obtained depending on the brand. I would primarily lo...
An Interesting topic, and a complicated one.
I would suggest the naked watchmaker deconstructions. Seeing is better than reading about. From the larger brands if you want high quality finishing for your $$ I would say one can find exceptional examples by parmigiani and breguet. But it varies a lot f...
I posted this on another thread that discussed Patek's corner cutting practice... moving it here as I wanted to know what the holy trinity are thinking.
So it's pretty clear patek absolutely skipped some work on the calibre, Vacheron has done absolutely nothing to revamp their ageing lineup and calibres, and AP's new 1159 is now just a pre-requisite of getting a RO. Just what in the world are they thinkin...

Hmmm ... Lange is part of Richemont.
The time only 1815 is incredibly basic. I don't want to start a long discussion but can be compared to ETA. They used to apply high finishing to the invisible parts, not anymore. Basically there are no saints in this business. Do your research, decide wha...
Interesting perspective, it’s true, sometimes the best finishing doesn’t necessarily makes the best experience.
I suppose that’s why many of us like Rolex, even when is not at all hand made/finished.
That’s a wonderful example.
I was looking at other pictures and that balance wheel looks so big, it must be nice to stare at.
This conversation is getting uncomfortably close to . . .
. . . crossing the line of propriety, if it hasn't done so already. Our community is based on the premise that conversations should be conducted as though they were being held at a cocktail party. Just as one would never engage in a conversation regarding...
Apologies for bringing this up⬆️
Still my approach is from the consumer side. I my intention is about learning about what others have experienced! 🤠
