Best alternate aluminum bezel watches.

I love the faded and bleached look a well loved and worn aluminum bezel provides. The old Rolexes that have gone from Pepsi to turquoise and orange ar...

Ah man, you didn’t need to stoke the flames of my desire to own a Pelagos! That Lume is amazing.

Awesome! Is it magnetic or slide fit? I’m not sure how I feel about the slide fit one, I like the magnetic or clip in style the best.

Looks great though, and for 75$ that’s not bad

Joe EdgeXotic, ayeee.

And shoot, I’d fly out to have a watch spotting luncheon with the WatchCrunch lads. Maybe some of that affluence will rub off on me, and I can become one with the jungle.

Thanks! I’m honestly very surprised how much I love this Bell & Ross, the design language just speaks to me. It’s unique and not trying to be anyone else, what a fresh concept in this world.

I love reading these posts for MANY reasons, but I think a significant reason is it’s a parallel to watching “Tiger King” for a humble man like me. Somehow I’m introduced to a section of society I can hardly believe exists and am continually astounded by.

2 hour work days? This type of thing exists? IN THIS ECONOMY?! And everyone can afford luxury watches?

I’ll settle back into my plebeian station and enjoy the vicarious fireworks. Perhaps one day I’ll join ya’ll in horological & societal Elysium…

1) scratches are awesome

2) size barely matters. Wear what makes you happy and gods be damned if someone thinks it’s too big or too small. I think it looks cool if you do.

To be honest I love earning my scratches so much that I’m slightly disappointed about my new ceramic Bell&Ross being essentially scratch proof. Watches are most certainly antiqueated, but the tale of this little trinket on my wrist transcends that in a way, and scratches are bookmarks for some of my life’s finest moments. They all add up to make it MY watch, and not just another watch.

With that said, I cannot stand scratches on the sapphire. I still want to read the time without it being a pain!
