watch brotherhood is a rare and precious thing

commented on Should Everyone have a Quartz in their Life? ·

You immediately grabbed my attention by displaying the cracking Longines VHP and the brilliant Citizen Chronomaster, which I have both bought with great satisfaction.

To each their own, but there are features that mechanical timepieces simply cannot provide at sub $ 3000 price point :

  • incredible accuracy (once again, Longines and Citizen don't disappoint)

  • perpetual calendar (same)

  • being on time when you haven't touched them for a while, or don't move when wearing them (like my trusty bedtime Marathon Navigator)

  • serious anti-magnetic properties

I love my BlackBay 58 as much as the next guy, but wouldn't think of not having my beloved quartz watches in the rotation

Just out of curiosity, has the same study been made in other markets than the USA ?

commented on Imagine you're given the choice to get any watch in the world (no matter the cost), but you have to wear it for the rest of your life. Which one would you pick? Drop your answers in the comments! ·

commented on This or that. Speedmaster or Chronomaster ·

#whitedialcrew says SpeedMaster.

commented on Rolex Explorer vs Rolex Oyster Perpetual ·

Cleary, the Oyster Perpetual, which is the epitome of classic Rolex.

I have owned the Explorer 39 mm and that watch is neither here nor there. A tad too sporty to be a dresswatch, but way too shiny, prone to scratches and a real smudge magnet in day to day life to be enjoyed as a tool watch.

Not mentioning all the tiresome "Explorer" hype.
