Reminded me of…

Kiddo was enjoying their Bluey watch before bedtime, and couldn’t help but think it looked familiar… then donned on me it was likely an RM dupe 😜

NWR - New Watch Returned

Better every day dial color?

Using these watches as some easy example pics I was able to grab (although I would love me a sky dweller), so not a poll about these watches per se… Not saying blue or white is the best overall (might...

I think Tudor does Bronze the best, so if you want a bronze watch (disagree it’s a fad, been around too long for that) and you don’t want to go too heavy into a single brand, then I’d say keep the bronze as the best version of that you can get, then get alternatives for the others (like a railmaster and explorer 2).

Only $2k on eBay right now 😜. Sad I’m just discovering these, def missed the boat and will watch for another drop!

commented on Same watch, different vibes: NSA (New Strap Alert) 🚨 ·

Got that from an AD with the deployant clasp then? Or had the clasp and ordered just the leather strap?

Looks sharp

Can get some great deals on the Oris out there too. I like the blue dial on a leather strap, or the green dial in the bronze version on leather pretty killer too.

commented on Bronze watches, who likes them? ·

Currently rocking the Tudor heritage, but have a new bronze on the way - the Oris big crown. Planning on another diver, and realized I need a date function, so once I confirm the Oris in person looks as good as the picture I’ll put the Tudor up for sale.

This 43mm Tudor isn’t too big, but I was wearing it with a lot of dress sleeves and think a little smaller might be better for me too.

Had to keep a bronze though, love the look and story the patina tells.

commented on Actually Owning a Moonphase Watch? ·

Unless you need the real moon phase for a hobby or something, no need for it to be correct besides personal neuroses - and at that point it is literally just there as a decoration piece.

Hope to add one someday but won’t be a daily, so fully intend to set time/date and be on my way.

commented on Have you ever not sold a watch due to depreciation? ·

Just went through this with my first luxury watch, a TAG Carrera 01 that I bought on Watchboxx for $4400, thinking I’d have it forever.

After a few years I wasn’t wearing it nearly as often, and felt guilty for it just sitting there.

Just sold on eBay for about $3k so I don’t feel guilty anymore, and more easily justify adding a new one so my wife doesn’t freak out lol.

$1400 to “rent” a watch for 5 years, not bad
