@25:47 if you don’t understand why the Freak belongs on this list…please read up on the innovation. Also @38:50 the Reverso not really the first “sports” watch.was this a list of important/greatest watches or something different? Debating over the influence of the PN Daytona is odd…it has done for watches what many brands combined could not.

Why do so many watch reviewers have small wrists? On my ordinary 7.5" wrist anything less than 41mm feels like a ladies watch. As such this Bulova is my main object of desire right now. Nice proportions and I like its artsy prettiness. Alas, it seems hard to find in the UK.

Bulova super seville its a great looking watch! but will looks huge on any wrist with those 25mm lugs on the bracelet. and square watches wears always bigger too, so 34 or 36mm. case would be much better imo. that's what stops me to order one

Yeaaaaah I don't know if I agree with that. It's 37.5mm. Not exactly a large case. Lug width is irrelevant seeing as it's an integrated bracelet. That said, this is one of the best wearing Bulovas to date. I'd suggest finding a store that has one on display. You just might change your mind.

This is a MASSIVE win for me. I'm gonna have to get one at some point. This is basically an affordable alternative to a Spring Drive movement. Obviously it isn't the same but the experience is pretty close when you factor in the price point. An excellent choice for an enthusiast looking to save some money.

Do you guys get into insurance for your watch collection?
@thespringbarpodcast
@thespringbarpodcast 3 ай бұрын
That's a good question, and one that's been discussed more than once. In the price range we collect at, it doesn't make sense to take out a policy on each watch individually and I've yet to find a company that will insure a collection as a whole.. personally I (Mike) have one of my watches insured and Joe has a few that could warrant individual policies, but as a whole, we roll the dice.
@lloydkanglive9161
@lloydkanglive9161 3 ай бұрын
I have watches listed on our policy, but not the specifics. Since there’s a bit of migration in the collection, you’d need to amend it each time you buy or sell. But my insurance would cover the loss. Proving the cost however… depends on where you bought it I guess. eBay prices are easy enough to find, but that’s not current or replacement value. Nor investment in repair either

@lloydkanglive9161
@lloydkanglive9161 3 ай бұрын
The issue with vintage dress watches is the size. Most are sub 35mm. Also will depend on what you consider vintage. 70’s is vintage now, (which means I am too, apparently), so quite a few dress pieces from the 70’s hit a larger size. Look for bezel less or thin bezel designs. lT makes them wear large. So a 36mm will look bigger.
