noob first purchase and intro
Hello community, :howdy:
So apparently this is an incredibly generic thread
. So I am not quite sure how an introduction goes on a forum but I shall give it my best shot.
Anyways originally I am from Toronto, but have recently moved to South East Asia specifically Bangkok. I have always liked watches but more for aesthetic and symbol rather than what actually stood behind them. I then invested some time into actually learning what was behind the surface of all those pretty timepieces and, well not surprised, but intrigued at how much variety, detail and expertise is behind it all.
In short I have a new found fascination with watches, managed to stumble on to this glorious hub of information, and wish to be a part of the community...somewhat.
Onto my first purchase--
My favorite watches are the:
Breguet 5 day power reserve functioning automatic (the one cwazy1 posted about recently) at around 750 (on watch eden) to 850 (on intime).
The submariner lv green bezel
the 2836 clone movt or the 3135 movt price from the former @ around 200+ to the latter at around 400
And the explorer 2.
I am leaning towards the sub lv for a start, but I am so uncertain of what movement to go for. Whats the huge difference between the two movements aside from the ability to replace the 3135 with gen parts? Would it be better to get something from BK with all his pro mods? Which would look the most gen?
The breguet is gonna be my second purchase (wait for a few more reviews to come about) as it is a bit pricey for me at the moment.
Thank you for any and all, and even a lack of, help
:cheers:
