commented on What is the most iconic Watch design ever? ·

No other watch looks so bad when paired with nice clothes.

commented on Your favorite “boring” watch? ·

I have to say that I love the Bambino and I'm not sure why it isn't in my collection - it's a great looking watch which I don't feel is that boring.

My boring watches are:

1) Skagen Jorn (currently on a flowery strap instead of this standard mesh).

2) Nordgreen Philosopher

3) Steeldive SD8102 (or how to take a Max Bill and make it even more plain)

4) AliX $3 special which I use as a beater

commented on Dive watches "eating" my shirt cuffs. How about you? ·

I wear double cuff shirts which always have enough space for a thicker watch, or shirts with two buttons so the width can be extended. I don't think any of my shirts are standard single button cuffs.

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 🤷
