[@shivammittal3698]

guys, does anyone have an idea that until what year, did western watches used the original eagle symbol on their dial?

[@1988banker]

Amazing if they really came up with the cap jewel system. Wish they would have stuck with their own designs. They started selling day date homages to survive? They didn't have many designs of their own?

@@TimesTicking nop, nobody in my city to repair mechanical watch,I am trying to learn but can't find the equipments.

[@AkbergLetheErcisKarasi]

It's funny, whenever someone brags about Swiss "high horology" I immediately remember how a quartz watch almost wiped them out lmao. What a bunch of pretentious swindlers.

[@MichaelMitchell-vk9lk]
