Do you have a love / hate relationship with a particular watch in your collection?

BB58 is that watch for me. Some days I just want to sell it because of its vintage feel and other days it so charming.

·

Definitely sell it. DM me! 😁

Not a watch. But a bracelet. Bought an aftermarket bracelet for my Seiko 5 SNK805. It is uncomfortable, clunky, loud, cheap, and the most annoying thing to resize.

But…

It makes the watch look so dang good…

Infuriating 😂

I can’t wear it on the bracelet, mainly because lack of adjustment.

My Tissot PRS200. Due to my eyesight getting worse i can't make out the hands against the silver dial. White hands on a black dial are ideal.

Sometimes I think the same as you of my BB58.

Listen to what he says of the BB58 at the 6:20 mark. It is so true.

If you are between adjustment size, there are half links for it:

Just an fyi, I had a similar problem and uncle straps sells a half link for the Tudor bracelet. I bought, and bingo. Between the half links and the micro adjusts its perfect.

That watch for me is the Grand Seiko SBGN005; I don’t like quartz and the bracelet doesn’t offer much micro adjustment. But damn it’s beautiful and I like true GMTs.

That’s spot on

Oh, this question. Yes, I have two. My Seiko SNKK87 is a little diva. She will keep almost perfect time while being worn, but will sulk and run all the way down in just a matter of hours if off the wrist.

And my Tissot Everytime Large has such an erratic second hand that I wrote a whole story about it you might enjoy that is still here on WatchCrunch called "My Conversation with Mademoiselle Tissot."

But I think both of these watches are absolutely beautiful, so they get away with things. There's a lesson for me somewhere.

My seiko flightmaster is infuriating to set the time for, because the 12 hour alarm subdial has no synchronization with the main watch, so even when it looks right, I often have to stop the watch again to move the subdial up a minute, and thus the watch is a few seconds behind, making it the least accurate of my quartz watches. grumble grumble.
