So, I have a (maybe wierd, maybe perfectly normal - hence the post 🤪) habit of buying “practice straps” I get an idea of what might look good on a pi...

commented on Which of these 3 "dress watches" is right for you? ·

GS is the classic answer but I went for Santos as I fell in love when trying it on in an AD a while ago and I have a thing for pilots watches… might be the only “pilots watch“ that could double as a dress 😉👔

commented on A watch brand just by seeing someone wearing it, you can tell a watch enthusiast. ·

Nice big man 👏🏼

Was surprised to see Yema on your list tho. 🤔 

I can see where you’re going by inverting the question… you end up with a list of brands that are basically sold in brick n mortar in most cities / malls, so would be accessible to normies and enthusiasts alike… so help me with understanding Yema? I’ve never seen them out in shops in the wild.

Dude sat down opposite me on the train yesterday wearing a Blancpain. 

He was a chatty type anyway so after five minutes I say ”Couldn’t help but notice… is that a Bathyscaphe?” 

Well that was us off for the next hour or so, making everyone else around us eyes roll no doubt 🤣🤣🤣🙄

commented on SeanS79's WRUW ·

Hey, sorry for late reply on this. I really like the look of the new Chronomats although I havent had one on wrist yet. My local AD hasnt got any in stock. I believe the movement is exactly the same as what's in my avenger so I'll probably skip on picking it up, but if I was buying again I'd imagine it'd be a tough call. 

What are you thinking? 😀

commented on Rolex is a godsend to the watch industry. Are you thankful to Rolex for the watch on your wrist? Or are you a churlish ingrate? ·

Great case, well built Sir.

Or is it Madam.  

Bravo. 🍻

commented on Wait more than a year for Rolex wimbledon or just get Omega speedmaster right now ·

😂 If you say so big man. You must be right 👍

It’s SO interesting how the vast majority of the comments are saying a version of “Probably wait for the Rolex” and yet the poll is massively in favour of the speedy. 

i wonder if that’s self selecting? Ie whether all the impatient people vote on the poll and don’t bother with a comment, while those taking time to engage with the story are more likely to vote “wait”?!

Fascinating 🤓
