I am not a Rolex/Tudor fan. I don't get Tudor's popularity. There are other offerings in the price range that are far more interesting to me.

I ise a Mr. Coffee drip on a timer but I do use a Bodum burr grinder.

There is only one Rolex I would consider, a Milgauss.

Omega, all day, every day.

I went with the Longines because it is a, in my opinion, highly underrespected brand.

This was one of my first "expensive" purchases.

commented on Why do Roman Numerals Suck? ·

It depends on the style, design, and function of the watch. Roman numerals on a dress watch, not a problem but on a field, flieger, or diver? Nope. And for those who think that IIII instead of IV is "wrong" on a watch dial or clock face, you are all mistaken. It is to clearly differentiate four from five and aid in legibility.
