Nice watch (and I don’t usually like the square B&R designs).

If the PM wore an expensive watch, I wouldn’t care - would be cool to see a JLC or something else with refinement and class being rocked out there.

Wasn’t Macron a banker before entering politics? Im surprised it wasn’t a Rawlecks.

I’ve put my collecting on hold and have in fact been selling my collection.

I came to the realisation that I no longer derived pleasure from the ownership of watches, but it did get me to the point I am now - to the one watch I wear all the time.

I am sure I will get the urge again - but for now, it’s nice to see others on their journeys , and to see the clear enthusiasm for the hobby :)

I need to get out more.

The Tissot rock watch…. True 80s icon :)

Buy a Gshock and leave the fanciful notions of ultratough mechanical movement timepieces behind you :)

The more you spend on it, the less roughly you’d want to be with it….

No, I think you’re doing it right!
