I used to own an amfibia. My thoughts are inline with most reviewers:

  • Bang for buck
  • piece of history
  • acrylic dome scratches as well as it polishes
  • finitions are meh, but you know that before buying
  • best week end driver / beatwatch I had

Water and toothbrush. Never ever use soap, which just gets in the seals.

First I wouldn't. Watches might not be fashionable in 20-30 years.

Second: Something truly timeless. Not any of the current trends, something neutral in size and design.

Also something not too sporty or dressy.

Personnal choice : I'd stay away from "Swiss" swatch group which are really overpriced.

Top choices:

  • Junghans Max Bill series.
  • Seiko prospex (at least you are sure the watch will run for a long tome)

Other

  • Damasko DC70
  • Muhle teutonia or panova

Maybe a high end Chinese watch as the period of their birth is China's time.

Bought a frankenwatch advertised as original. Seller refused to pay back, c24 refused to get involved.

Had to raise some shit which got me most of my money back and the authorized dealer banned.

I wouldn't dig too much into the ban.

Seiko prospex have decent bracelets and can be found under 500€

Some sponsors are watch markers

The search pattern to use is different between engines. But the duck has less crap and is usually more relevant than google.

Politics aside (I'm strongly against federating with corps for reasons already expressed here), can the instance even support federation with a multimillion user federation? Just look at the fedilags recently.

I get that when the picture is too heavy.

Context: alliance is the far right union of a police force that already votes more 60% for a party created by a former SS.
