How do you spend your Saturday?

There are very few things that I find more relaxing than going to a watch boutique and having a brilliant conversation with a sales rep. Just visited the Berlin ALS store, was there for 3 hours and I would very much reccomend a visit to any watch enthousiasts in the region.

On the other hand, I’m in love with this 1815 up/down and am contemplating selling a kidney. Lmk if you need one hahaha

Spending this lovely Saturday in the backyard, with coffee, hoping to catch a glimpse of a solar eclipse. Unfortunately it’s overcast so you win this round 🤣

Definitely a great pursuit, on any day. I frequent watch stores. The best way to know a watch is to try it on, over and over and over. Probably why I've never sold a watch and have no intentions to do so.

I'll add that I've never spent 3 hours in any store though 😂

Gaming while having a beer, or having a beer in the pub

Today, it was working then home to peruse straps for my latest addition 😂

In my defence I saw 6 pieces and the conversation was amazing😅 Hadn’t spend that long before either

It’s pouring rain in NYC. Sitting on the couch watching the Daryl Dixon show.

Heading to go watch shopping with my son now. Nothing better. Unless we buy a watch.

I Just spent the last hour and a half in the store getting a couple pairs of boots for this up and coming white crap. That's harder than buying a watch. It's hard to find a good pair of leather boots or shoes around here. It's all vegan leather. Vegan leather a glamorous word for plastic. I don't do vegan leather anything. I don't do vegan watch straps, shoes, boots or food.

That's my dream brand. I have so much respect for their work. And yeah, I've done the same drooling over the watches on a visit. Here are some pics:

Drinking beer, cooking curry and shouting at Mario Kart has summed up today.

Are you a perfusionist? No wonder you can afford such nice watches. I am incredibly jealous of your Seiko LX

·

I’ve had such nice experiences at higher end boutiques (maybe just lucky?) even if I was just browsing. Meanwhile I’ve had shopping mall watches of Switzerland staff look at me like a took a crap on the floor the minute I walked in.

·

Let me know where they’re buying them at.😀

I’m spending Saturday occasionally looking at my watch, but primarily trying to stay warm and watch my daughter’s soccer team in the state championship. Lol.

That’s a watch worth looking at 😉

This weekend is all about the Cup.

I spent 1/2 hour of my Saturday at an Antiques Market looking at Fossils and Invictas. Oh - and a Disney Watch. 😕

·

I spend mine browsing the looney bin here between bouts of chasing my toddler

You win! good guess, I'm guessing an educated one?

So yes, but since I'm in Canuckistan and not U$A... I earn money in pesos, pay tax rate that would make your hair fall out, and have a low base salary. So, I make about 1/2 what my US colleagues make 😢

My actual watch buying advantage: a wife who never gives me grief over anything I purchase, as long as it won't likely kill me.

Thanks for the LX compliment! You are perhaps the only one ever, besides me, who has expressed affection for it. It's such a sleeper, to all the world it's a 100 buck Seiko. Under a loop it's stunning and has the quality of any high end Grand Seiko.

@GotTheTime - Joe G Money guessed right, it's a heart lung machine! A Gordian Knot of tubing and machine of mayhem that I pilot

Nice #alangeandsohne time piece 😎 had to cut the grass again yesterday

I've had the same wonderful experience with the Lange boutique in NY. They're incredibly welcoming, will spend "hours" chatting with you and all throughout the experience, will never make you rushed to leave.

I've spent time at the NY boutiques of JLC, FPJ, Omega, Cartier, Breitling, Breguet, and Piaget. Piaget and Breguet are the best of the bunch but a distant 2nd in experience to Lange.
