Soon....

So, from some of the feedback, I am getting, I am going to go for it. The Cool Wall will be posted on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with the first post, hopefully, tomorrow. Wednesdays posts will be in the "affordable" range of watches ($1 to~$1000). Saturday's post will be anything else. I will call it the "Luxury" range (~$1000 to 8...but make the eight sideways). If you all feel I should make the affordable range wider let me know. I am a low-budget boy, and I know that affordable is different for many people.

As you may imagine, the hardest part of this will be starting, so if you would all be so kind as to suggest some watches to get me started, I would appreciate it. Shouting out watches.... shouldn't be hard for folks like you, lol.

I think $1000 is fine for the upper limit of “affordable”. For me $1000 is getting out of that range, but I think it’s a decent spot to draw the line. If you think $2000+ is affordable, I would suggest it’s time to admit you are no longer playing on the same field as most of us. Good for you, I’m not judging, I just think above $1000 is a lot for the majority of people.

Dugong just wanted it official that his beloved Golden Panda is at least cool if not subzero 😝

Agreed. For the record, my most expensive watch was a used watch for ~$400. I felt sick about it for a day or two. Anything over $1000 is grail territory for me lol. Anything over what is deemed "affordable luxury" might as well be on the pages of a comic book for me. Almost imaginary for my level of collecting...However, it is still fun to read and aspire to be like those in comics.😉

I think the price point separation is a good idea. I think it might be good to start with a batch of 5 well known watches or so, so we can start with a decent population of watches on the board and use them as benchmarks for later. For watches to include, could run through YouTube review channels and pull watches from titles/thumbnails. Could also browse WRUW for ideas too

Bravo! Great idea. The five-watch starting-off point makes tons of sense! 

Thanks much!

One thing I would say...I do not think I will use WRUW to find my next watch. No one wants to come on here and see their watch is uncool. But the gears are turning, and I am gathering a solid list to start off.

Doesn't seem like an issue to me, since everything on WRUW would get cool+ anyway 😉

Perhaps it should be newly released watches? Or do you want to encompass all watches

Hublot Big Bang can be either a watch or a category somewhere below Whale Shite.
