It's not really about watch collecting at all. It's a fascinating example of economic sociology.

commented on So you’re buying your next watch… ·

It's complete nonsense for me. I have certain principles for one watch purchase that I'll flagrantly ignore for another.

For example, I like the Oris BCPD in red, but the price is outside my bracket, so I got a cheap (but reasonable) Chinese homage.

So you'd be forgiven for thinking that, in principle, I have no problem with homages.

But I also like the Tudor BB Burgundy (again, outside of the price bracket). NTH does a great-looking homage, but this time, I felt it looked too similar, so I went with the Wolbrook Skindiver Wordlimer with the red bezel because it gave me a lot of what draws me to the Tudor but has its own very distinctive design language.

So, do I have an issue with homages or not? It depends. On what? I haven't the faintest idea!

Yeah, that's the one I'm struggling with. It's just not getting the wrist time any more though.

Yeah, I'm on the second batch despite being on the so-called 'VIP list'.

Was thinking of returning the watch unopened when it arrives on principle but your review has got me thinking twice.

commented on The Art in Deco: Maen Manhattan 37 review ·

Nice review. Pre- ordered mine back in April. Still waiting for it. MAEN's customer service leaves much to be desired. Can't even get my money back to put towards an alternative watch.

Had the same watch a few years ago and decided to sell it as it was too similar to another vintage dress watch in my collection.
