When you find out you work with a watch geek

I'm thinking about it.

I would wear it. I'm wearing a Caravelle that is just a hair above 33mm and I have an Invicta around the same size.

I like the Tudor but yes, that hour hand is odd looking to me. It has been growing on me though. The more I look at it, the more I want it. Stop it!

I really have tried to like the tank but it just doesn't appeal to me. I respect it for what it represents horologicaly but I would never wear one. Square or better said rectangular watches in that vein make me want to 🤮. I have one that is similar in styling that was a gift and it's even engraved with my initials and I never wear it.

I would like that but only for winter. My wrist gets sweaty as it is with this leather strap. Maybe a silicone waffle if they make them in 17mm???

Yes sir. I think they are nice looking. Some are still too large of a diameter for my taste but this 37071 is 33mm in diameter. I have the all-gold version of the one, second from the bottom right in your picture. It is probably the most oversized watch I can comfortably wear at 45mm.

I had to add another shot of my Otto Frei "Special" with a photobombing Lamy nib thrown in for good measure. 😜 😂

Arabics vs. Roman numerals

I am not a roman numeral guy. I grew up with clocks in our house with roman numerals. I am not sure if getting my first LCD watch just made me prefer Arabics but that is my preference. I'll take indic...

Timex Standard Sub-Second 40mm

I like the look of this one a lot but it looks like they cut too many corners for me to want to buy it. Mineral crystal, non-leather strap, quartz, an...

My "Otto Frei" Special

I don't think I ever posted a picture showing the back of this watch. I bought it around 2015 or '16 from a budding Instagram watchmaker. It has an ET...
