Never

commented on Heaviest watch you own and wear ·

185g is my heaviest, and because I don't wear heavy watches I'm very aware of it when it's on. By the end of the day I wonder if I'm going to get pins n needles.

commented on True or False? You can dress up a tool watch, but you can’t dress down a dress watch. ·

You've managed to miss the correct answer, which is tool watches often can't be dressed up, but dress watches can always be worn with jeans and t-shirt.

commented on Which one would you add to the collection? ·

I don't see any reason to get a Rolex, similar to one you own, when a VC is the other option.

commented on Replace Plant with Watch ·

commented on What watch would you buy if money wasn’t an issue ·

I still haven't seen anything that tops this for me. ALS Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour La Merite" 760026.

One minute tourbillon, driven by fusee and chain, with stop seconds, and a dial segment that slides into view between 7 and 11.

Making memories with a watch

...is this really a thing? I don't get it. I see it mentioned quite often, but for me other than "X bought me this watch so it will always be in my collection", I don't tie a watch with any event. I k...

Hamiltons on sale at TK Maxx (UK)

FWIW there are several models with discounts to RRP of 38-47% (their figures). They seem to get Hamilton stock a couple of times a year.

WRUW count reset to zero again

So I should be over 120 by now, but lost my first batch in the mid fifties, and the second batch is now showing 1 instead of 68 🤷
