amzwatch watch are the best, I say this from experience.

[@JenniferJones-t8f]

It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. amzwatch watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?

[@SuperNicheStudios]

Hey Jennifer I can say you’d be surprised how many of us and other collectors walk around with a watch loupe, ( a magnifying tool) in fact when purchasing a luxury timepiece outside of maybe Rolex, it’s common for a sales professional to offer a client a loupe to inspect the movement as many luxury timepiece now have crystal casebacks.
