First impressions - Vero workhorse

First thing I'd like to say, and it's a negative, is the cost of getting this watch to the UK. The RRP is £346 which I'm perfectly ok with. Postage- £...

I think they are more and more becoming THE breath of fresh air in the ultra serious, stupidly expensive and pretentious watch world. I probably wouldn't wear one of the loud ones but I applaud the ones who do

First thing I like the formula 1 tag , not massively, but to me it's inoffensive and fun. But this kith b*ll*x ......now that winds me up. There is absolutely no reason to be charging 1500 clams for a plastic quartz watch, none, absolutely no excuses. I hate this rip off world we now seem to be living in where stuff like this gets lauded by sites like Hodinkee who live in a different dimension to normal folk who actually work hard for a living for this kind of money. Id have the Casio on principle

Some rich hipster fashion guru/clothes maker who was gushing about his love for the TAG formula 1 watches, on Hodinkee. He's now collaborated to rip off people by charging £1500 for kith branded reissues plastic or steel you will still get shafted the same.

commented on Plastic Watch Trend Continues: Tag Heuer x KITH ·

This sums up all that's wrong in the watch world and general pricing of things in the world we live in today, in general. We truly live in a rip off age- it's frustrating

Absolutely

I like that it looks like it gets inspiration from an off road automobile more than watches

commented on What’s your best hot-take on watch collecting? ·

The whole Patek, Rolex audmars, hodinkee, John mayor, ed Sheeran etc etc thing is so f..king boring now. I know I'm envious and I really like John mayor as a person and ed Sheeran even tho I hate his music, I just find when I click on to a watch collection video and it's the same old vintage Rolex and Patek with a couple of royal oaks thrown in, to me , now, it's a yawn fest. Give me an oyster quartz and some obscure ugly swiss digitals from the 70s with a sprinkling of what Japan was doing every time. Rant over

As much as I like the look of rubber straps, I find wearing them ultimately nowhere near as comfortable as fabric. On this strap it just disappears on...

Seiko SLA071

After 2 months of ownership, there are only 2 things that niggle me about this Seiko. 1. Is the bracelet clasp. Seiko are renowned for sub par bracele...

Keepers

Question. Do you cut off the extra keeper on your strap if it's not really needed?
