Anything Sinn. I’m not sue you can buy any of them at less than $1k retail though.

Hmm. This reminds me of that quote ““You'll stop caring what people think about your watch when you realize how seldom people notice what you’re wearing or care.” Remember that you're always biased towards your own perceptions. 🥴 That said, I’d wear an Omega Speedmaster.

commented on Thanks Mum, I’ll do my best, regardless of where the winds of change will take me. ·

What a great story. It’s a fab watch and irrespective of it’s monetary value, it will probably remain with you regardless of your watch journey. Priceless. Congratulations.

commented on Getting rid of pieces to buy new ones what is your opinion on that ·

I’ve got a phone, so have no need of a watch, so no regret in getting rid of these useless, expensive pieces of metal… AS IF! It’s a mixture, some pieces I’ve moved on and miss them, mostly I move on pieces I bought on an impulse buy and then regretted. I’ve never sold a piece that has sentimental value to me though. Good luck with the journey.
