So I found myself with a pressing matter that I think most of us tend to have. I told myself that after I filled my watch case that I would be done fo...
I grew up playing baseball so when after three times taking a fastball off my watch, I switched wrists. So for years I wore it on my right even though I'm a righty. Recently I started working in an office environment and wanted to wear it the "Right" way and put it on my left (off wrist) . I do switch back and forth depending on what type of watch and where the crowns are. My Nighthawk wears better on the right because I can access the slide rule crown , the Navihawk too. Other watches work just fine on the left.
Depending on your price point and what you are comfortable losing and replacing, everything can be a beater. Millionaires can replace Speedmasters like socks if they wanted to and I could maybe replace my DW500 a few times.

I also struggled with the same thing, but in a different direction. I have a pretty good collection that lives under a 1000 bucks p/w currently and constantly think of " Was this the right watch to wear?", "Do I need another pilot watch"? "Dive?". I also wanted to keep the collection to reliable well known brands because I didn't want lemons but sometimes I find little gems like the Sugess "Top Time" in what looks like ice blue (Breitling), and the Duxot "Planet Ocean" in a white dial (Omega). Being so happy with the homages, I find that I might wear my mechanical Sugess a little more than my Hamilton Cooper and then I think "Was the Hamilton price tag worth it because I get the same satisfaction from a really budget watch?". Now I feel like I have to rethink my collection philosophy because I'm really excited to be getting a Steeldive Cpt Willard in the mail soon. I can definitely say that that most of us sometimes battle thoughts of justifying the hobby but there's worse things to be addicted to.

This was killing me trying to find the watch with this movement. It def makes sense that its not genuine. Too bad cause its a nice watch.. but if it works you still win.
