What’s your next gen purchase?

I have the Hamilton murph 38, agree about the AR, that is the absolute worst and the only thing stopping me jumping straight on this. Wonder how easy it would be to swap the crystal though

For me, the problem with "homages" for that kind of watch in particular - vintage milspec - is, they do look good, they're solidly build, BUT they lack the vintage feel. They'Re reproductions more than homages. If they had a bit more of a reinterpreting twist, I'd call them homages. If you know what I mean. Maybe the Murph / Khaki field would cut it, but not a WW2 Dirty Dozen reproduction.

This hits for me, they look the part but don't feel the part, so they up getting sold for me. Break even or sometimes at a small loss.

I actually own a gen Hamilton Khaki which I legitimately feel is one of the worst entry level watches that people shill out, the lack of AR is a killer on that watch. If I had to get one I'd get the cheap ass $60 Addiesdive.

My favorite Chinese homage.... hard to say.... right now I'm only interested in Militado's IWC 36mm homage and one or two San Martin models. But mainly my focus is on reps.

Jianghun has shown some cool stuff that I'd love to try out as well, that lire-lug reverse watch diver looks amazing.

The problem with Chinese homages is they become hard to sell - while you may not lose money on them, I would rather save up the money to buy other watches. 10 $100 Chinese homages adds up very quickly.

Any links brother eyes

Thanks for your input guys, yeah I think I will loose more than the 10% when I sell it second hand, prices seem to be lower than list price but maybe its easy to sell since it will brand new and unworn. Or maybe I just pick it up and see if I like it, and if not try to sell it. I paid just under 3k euros in deposit for it, as I understand it, it´s because of the dial configuration, but I dont know this is actually my first purchase through an AD

Don't buy it unless you plan to keep it forever, serti dial two tone Daytonas are dogs on the secondary market you'll get killed if you go to resell it with the new higher MSRP now.

I'd ditch the deposit personally

Also great job on the Sub such a underrated watch in full YG

I can't take Hamilton seriously when they have a watch called the "Jizzmaster"......

Very tempted by a 3861 speedmaster. These are showing up close to 33% off retail 2nd hand and in excellent condition.

Would be grateful for any (or several) good reasons not to?!

Thanks for your input! Yes this is exactly the reasoning, its a cool watch but not 27k euros cool

27k is something else isn't it, wow

Exactly, it's an 18k watch tops and they're going to sit around at ADs at these prices now. Rolex got way too aggressive with precious metal increases.

AD won’t let you transfer the deposit to another piece? Ditch that AD.

Yeah that part is wild, I never heard of a deposit to begin with.

PAM 1046 - because I can't get a rep.

A simple 42 mm Luminor Due with ivory dial, date, P 900, leather band. Understated. On secondary market might be able to get in vgood to excellent condition w papers/box for $4k ish.
