Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?
….were the immortal words of The Cranberries.
Which leads to this: there’s endless lists atm of the year’s ‘best’ watches. What’s been your favourite pickup? Keep it to one….(don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you love the others any less)
Here’s mine. I like wearing sub-39mm watches on my wrist, I may reduce it to sub-37mm because of this….

Thanks 🤝and yours?
Cool watch Chung.🔥
My long term project.
Took me nearly 2 years to get this factory virgin Enicar to “the right place“ and it was definitely worth the wait when I got it back a few weeks ago.
Even at the end of the year was clearly the highlight of the whole year.
My one in a million shot.

That’s some wait and some dial!!
Looks like they did an awesome job! Fantastic that things like this get to ’live’ again 👏👏👏
Just needed to find the right person to handle it, that was the difficult bit.
Mechanically was new, so reviving it was just a good clean up and new oils.
I agree, and that’s for me the great appeal of new old stocks 😉
For me it has to be my Constellation

Well! We know for a fact that this one is not just your favourite…😉
It is truly awesome and was one of the highlights of my year, seeing it in person
This is gonna be really surprising to anyone who knows me on this form.
But I'd have to say definitely the titanium Casio.

Don’t take this the wrong way: that may be the most Un-Casio-looking Casio I’ve seen!
Enjoying the aviation vibes on that one!
Got this in July and haven't bought a watch since then.

Got to go with the Blue Bay 36 💙Although I was tempted to go with my vintage Omega quartz. The BB36 is not as stunning, but more versetile. And when it shines it SHINES:
They should keep the ETA movements if it means they have the 😃 dial…!

Never thought about that, but the smiley might go away if they move to in-house 🤔 I don't mind the ETA either way. High grade and well regulated. Easy to service 👌
Not carried away at all. It’s an important moment in your lives. Watches are lovely and all but they’re not the most important things in our lives.
Also did you take a white watch into the delivery room?! Brave….!💪
my wife had a c-section so that helped let keep the watch clean 😅

Yeah it's one of their only really nice ones in my opinion. They make thousands of models and i think most of them are either butt ugly or have comfort issues (most g socks) or are too huge (I think there's a few close to 70mm lug to lug).
Your promotion of Citizens brand has opened my eyes to a couple of their watch's. This being a nice option, what kind of money are they, I'm UK based .
This one is actually Casio.
But yes they are awesome. Titanium, solar, sapphire, radio, led light and loaded with features.
Around 160 USD from Japan plus possible import tax on arrival, or about 200 pounds on Amazon last time I looked.
I think citizen has lots of nice stuff too but at the moment this is my favorite.
The included bracelet isn't adjustable enough but it's great on nato or rubber or sailcloth.

Thanks , sorry I wasn't taking notice of it being a Casio. Looks and sound great for that kind of money.👌
That blue strap really suits it.
2022 was the year I bought my first Grand Seiko. If you've bought a Grand Seiko, you probably know that you won't be buying only one.
This was my first.
However, my watch of the year was my second...

Bit like tattoos…(Or so I’m told….)
Gorgeous watch man!

Thanks. Did you have a pickup?

Ooooh that case looks like it came out of the factory yesterday….❤️
My favorite pickup this year will be my Timex Expedition north solar. Great size, nice fit, and nice specs for a field watch.
Thanks. Did you have a pickup?
My “invicta“ pro diver that has been modded and reborn. After having the case replaced because of a replacement bezel insert mishap, ultimately getting a better case with a sapphire crystal. Then coming across end links for straps as seen in the phot, also with this “omega“ sailcloth strap, its just a combination i can wait to wear in the rotation. So technically a “pickup“ for this year all things considered.
I picked up 3 watches this year, but for me this one is tops. Been on a solid 1 month long honeymoon wearing spree with it, and the wife bought me the Tudor bracelet to go with it that sitting wrapped and waiting.
