The KING of field watches?
Recent Comments
FF has never made any impact on me, despite its heritage. Submariner the opposite, has always been my #1 all-time watch.
I’m the opposite; I bought a SKX013 back in 2015. At the time I thought I just needed one. Thought the bracelet was crap, the movement was crap, power reserve was crap, accuracy was crap … All of those things are true. It is a POS. But it is my favorite POS I’ve ever owned, and the only POS in my collection.
I can understand your lack of emotional attachment, but for me that’s exactly the charm of the watch.
The proportions are perfect. The fit and weight are perfect. The jingly-jangly folded-link jubilee bracelet catches and casts the light in a way that no over-produced “upgrade” premium bracelet can replicate.
It fits every outfit I’ve ever matched it to, from tank top to tuxedo.
For all the wrong reasons I absolutely love it.
But that’s just me.
Did you buy it new?
My motto is (usually) “Buy preowned. Let someone else eat the depreciation.”
Unless it’s a sub-$200 watch, or if I KNOW I won’t sell it.
I’ve never MADE money from watches, and consider losses just part of the cost of the collecting hobby landscape.
