Great collection!

I personally like to have balance in my collection, so if it were me, I’d go with a blue diver to add both a color and a complication you don’t have yet. A blue Pelagos or BB58 would be great choices!

commented on Do you feel like watch media and influencers are shilling for the industry? · 2 days ago

I don’t think YouTubers and brands are conspiring to change tastes in order to sell more watches… I don’t think they need to. However, YouTubers gaining access to product to do an “honest review”, or to sell watches in their own shop, clearly influences the influencers. As long as they disclose what they are receiving, so we know what their incentives are, I’m fine with it. If we are so easily swayed that we can’t factor that into our own judgments and preferences, that’s on us.

The strap is from Erika’s Originals. They make after market straps that are very popular for their comfort and customizability. Highly recommend!

Is it just me, or does this drive you nuts too?

I put the Baby Alpinist back on the OEM calf leather strap with deployant clasp and I am reminded why I never use this strap. It’s one of those situat...
