commented on Plastic Watch Trend Continues: Tag Heuer x KITH ยท

Very cool. I guess I really am being a hipster when I rock my OG F1 now ๐Ÿ˜

The original F1 doesnโ€™t get enough respect. It was awesome for its time, arguably saved Tag Heuer, and wears so nicely. It might have been the first hype watch - it certainly was the first I was aware of - so a collab with the kings of hype beast culture is full circle.

These are too pricey for me to get on a lark, but itโ€™s awesome they exist.

Funny, this past week, I all of a sudden got the idea that a Tank Americaine in rose gold would be an awfully nice addition to the collection. Photos like yours donโ€™t dissuade me! ๐Ÿ˜

Congrats!

commented on Watches in Japan... ยท

I was there in September for work, and had a lot of fun watch (window) shopping too. Hope to go back again soon, and see more of the country than just Tokyo (though if Iโ€™m there for a work trip, thatโ€™s not likely).

I ... I canโ€™t believe it ... I actually like ... a gold watch! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
