Not too bad really. I've not been paying close attention to it lately but I have noticed that it seems to stutter between 15 and 25 seconds. The accuracy has improved since I received it too, initially it gained around 40 seconds a day but now it's down to ~15 seconds. Not bad for a £20 meme.

Same reason you shouldn't wear a fake Louis Vuitton belt or Cartier love bracelet etc.

The people who know you know what you can afford. Even if it's a great fake nobody will believe it's real and you'll look like a replica wearing loser

Also, a big part of wearing a watch is knowing you could afford what you're wearing. Maybe I'm not phrasing that correctly, but the point is when I look at the Seiko on my wrist, I see a real, well built watch that inhad enough disposable income to afford. It was only $150 or so, but it's still an extravagance I bought for myself. If I were wearing a fake Rolex, I'd be checking my time on a lie, trying to project an image of someone more valuable than I actually am. It's just a shitty way to approach life, it screams insecurity.

I can see how this would be useful for chem. My brother's doing a chemistry major and he has a university-issued "Electric Chink" stopwatch.

I actually do not really have much desire for a chronograph. While my job requires me to time a series of tasks in 0.10 hour intervals, ie the perfect chronograph job, I hate most of them due to the busy factor. I also like being able to wear a variety of watches from day to day. The stopwatch allows me to do that.

A Seiko 6138 like the OP pic would work brilliantly, beautiful watch, shame about the ticking time bomb movement. This Stowa's also nice.

Only Tisell themselves; they're a very small Korean brand, but they've built a good reputation for themselves, especially with their customer service (custom orders, paying for return shipping if there's an issue, supplying Korea only watches at a request).

Tisell.kr
>Korean only site, but they have a few designs here that aren't available internationally - worth a look to see their full catalog - they will send you a watch from this site if you contact them via email.

>>51465483

Panerai does have some in-house movements but ETA is not in-house. ETA is owned by the Swatch Group and Panerai is owned by Richemont. Also they are ridiculously overpriced. They charge $5,000 USD for a Unitas 6497 movement while I can get a watch from Steinhart with the same base movement for about $400 USD. A slightly longer power reserve and COSC certification is not worth $4,600 more.

>>51465705
The design has been around for about 80-90 years now, it's not surprising that there will be homages, but AFAIK the Tisell is the only one with a Miyota movement - the rest use either quartz or Seagull movements.
>>
>>51465725

I agree that it's incredibly overpriced (although more justified with the models using the in-house movements), but I don't think people really care about overpriced when they can afford a 5k+$ luxury item, and most of them won't care about the movements, they'll just want it for the design anyway, which is also a good reason to drop that much money, as there is almost no homage (excluding shitty chinese knock-offs) of Panerai watches

it's a model from the presage line, ref. SRP467J1

some sort of SARX015 replica:
- same case & bracelet
- different dial texture (pic related)
- different movement (4R36 instead of 6R15)

a nice alternative, cheaper and easier to buy outside of japan

Panerai is probably the single most extreme example of a craven marketing driven mountain jew dollar extraction scheme in modern watchmaking history. They were literally charging several thousands of dollars for cheap off the shelf ETA movements in very simple to make and finish cases.

Someone on /wt/ once maligned Omega by describing them as trying to be 95% of Rolex pricing while putting in 50% of Rolex effort. By that metric Panerai has only put in ~20% of the effort at most. The rest was spent on marketing and celebrity endorsements to honeytrap clueless normies.

If smartwatches are so smart then why do they imitate dumbwatches? You could find some cool way to display time on a screen instead of doing the same thing normal watches have always been doing.

Steinhart pls. They had to waste the Valjoux 7750 to make an homage to a watch that doesn't have the right number of subdials.

They could have replicated a shitton of good vintage watches that originally had the 7750, hell they could have made some "good enough" homages of ones that were Lemania 5100 powered.

Those two features, usually of higher quality and less plastic involved. Power reserve is also longer. I'm not quite sure, but as far as i recall it also has better shock protection?

But it's also made by malasiyan children, but those who have slightly steadier hands and are better fed.

Though i prefer the orphaned japanese schoolgirls that assemble Orient watches and plesure Seiko-Epson executives for a part time job over skinny and starving Malaysians.
