Anyone ever sell a watch because of a life expense or a revelation?

Have anyone here sold a watch due to an unexpected life expense? Such as leaky roof, new car parts, kids braces etc. Even if it was a piece you absolu...

Hot Take: Had Quartz been invented 100 years ago, every major brand would’ve switched to it almost exclusively.

In terms of efficiency and durability we know Quartz is the best. Had Quartz been invented in say 1924, all the top brands would’ve seen how cheap pro...

The quality is superb and feels more comfortable than current SMP300s. Get a good one off EBay, I suggest Japan stores on there , just check bracelet size in description. Might have to get a few more links. It’s by far worth it. Been seeing prices drop to 2500ish

commented on What’s the perfect amount of watches for your collection? ·

I have 5. They all have sentimental value and meanings behind them. Most I ever had was 7 and that was too much cause there were watches I wanted to wear more than one day. My higher end watches (omega) I make sure I wear to work or going out. My entry level ( Hamilton) is for just wearing whenever. I change between a nato and leather strap depending on the season. My regular watches (Seiko, Invicta) are my beaters. Considering another omega or a tudor but regardless want to make sure if I buy something more than a few hundred that it gets worn frequently. 6 would be my max. Took me 3 years but Iv figured out that’s the perfect number for me and all pieces have meaning for why I have them and all can be worn most days.

Probably because the brand is hyped up like Rolex and Omega but the quality doesn’t match. I see you own a speedy and DJ. Tudor is more in line with Oris, Longines, and Tag (imo).

Been wanting to get a black BB58 for a few years now. Tried one on 2 years ago and was disappointed. I think part of it was hype and the other was I went to the AD wearing my Seamaster and that watch is on an entirely different tier than the Black Bays. I still would like a 58 but my expectations are more realistic. Tudor makes very nice tool watches, not overly finishing and refined. They’re tools to be used. I also love the coloring of the 58 and that red triangle. That Sean Connery Bond era is what I love and the history of those mid century Rolex/Tudor subs. I don’t know if I’ll go new on it though. Can get 1k knocked off if go used and i think for the quality of the watch that makes sense. 4k new is kinda crazy for the quality.

Nice collection! Will you add a 3rd omega to it?

commented on SOTC - Omega box (and one Islander) ·

I have the sword hand electric blue and bond one. Contemplating getting the black dial and bezel one as a “beater” but the high finish on it id feel bad about nicking up.
