So, what subjective thing are you trying to solve for with your collection?

I'm 5'9 and 120 pounds. I have a 6 inch wrist, and I speak with a nasally East Midlands accent (oh ayup there meduck Ahm just off dahn the pub). I work in retail where I have to wear a specific uniform. Just once, in one area in my life I'd like to look a bit sexy, a bit like Clint Eastwood or Jason Statham. That's why I wear mil spec watches. And we all know that skirts practically take themselves off when you tell a girl that your watch is compliant with ISO 6425

commented on Watch Snobbery: An Analogy ·

Has anybody ever actually met a 'watch snob'? Coming up on 5 years in this hobby I've never once met someone who's looked down in disgust at my affordable watches. Is it just a strawman? Do these mythical snobs actually exist?
