Do you wear a watch at home?

I work from home 2 days a week and on those days I never put on a watch. On other days when I get home I usually take my watch off right away. I get to cooking dinner and it just gets in my way. If yo...

I came here to post Gshock. I've loved every tomb raider game since the first one I played on the ps1. She's rugged as hell I feel like she would want a no nonsense GADA, bullet proof watch like a gshock or maybe a Suunto.

honestly not a huge fan of titanium watches. They look great when new, but are very scratch prone.

Also, I totally get why a lighter watch is objectively preferable, but I personally like a little more weight on my wrist,

Great post, and very generous. I'd love to be added to the list. Good luck to everyone and even if I don't win, I'll do what i can to pay it forward with the holidays coming up.

commented on Tudor or Rolex..? ·

The Tudor is a great watch but before you bite go try it on. It is a thick watch and you feel it and see it on wrist.

The rolex is a much thinner case and feels more refined and just sits better, IMO, especially of you have a smaller wrist.

The fat case of the Tudor is what’s kept me away.

commented on Newer Rolexes… ·

definitely not alone in this. I'm speaking mainly about the sub here, but on paper the newer references have better specs, better movements, a bezel that is more scratch resistant and won't fade, far superior bracelets and clasps etc.

I do feel though that the pre super case, maxi-dial references are just more classic, understated and to my eyes more beautiful.

I feel like Rolex made the modern watches bigger and more flashy and while I don't dislike the new sub, but the 14060 was the last of the great, classic subs.

@Ichibunz is a great host, despite the lack of pork bellies.

I forgot the 4th option which is to make me one so it forces me to downsize!
