Looks awesome I’ve got a 50mm tuna and a 34mm devile and everything between on an 8 inch wrist. Size doesn’t mater just how it makes you feel

commented on Would you buy? ·

I don’t like skeleton watches and I don’t like the pattern on the normal ones. Everything else is a hit for me

Case and bracelet are very good indeed

commented on Do people want accurate reporting or just drama? ·

I try to watch reviews with the basis that they are almost always sales pitches. I’m not saying any of the watch channels are actively trying to sell these watches but everyone has a different point of view and they mostly review watches that they want to review. I watch them for entertainment and seeing watches I know nothing about. I know what I like and I will try a watch on before buying one new so I know if I will like it. I buy used on stuff I can’t try on so if I don’t like them I can sell them on and not lose too much I will also admit to watching videos and reviews on watch’s I’ve just bought 🫣 I don’t care about in house movements or the big Rolex news this week or the drama between you tubers and worse of all second hand watch dealers

So no I don’t look for negative in reviews I make up my own mind on every watch I buy and that’s all that matters to me

Ps not a Rolex hater either just my personal bias is towards omega tends to push me that way so I know if i was reviewing watches I would still like what I like

It’s fantastic in every way except the lume only the hands and pips on the quarters

The watch is a joy to wear and look at it’s very comfortable and the details on the dial mean I never get tired of looking at it

commented on Should Everyone have a Quartz in their Life? ·

High quality quartz movements are a joy in my opinion there are some things that only a quatz can do

commented on Do you have more than 3 watches from a single brand in your collection? ·

Ummm no one is enough for anyone 😂

Stands for reason if you like a watch from a company chances are you will find others in the range that appeal to you

Or that’s my reasoning 😂

commented on Wrist debut for my first DIY-assembled watch ·

You have done a great job I’ve done a few and the joy in finally getting the second hand fitted is almost worth the swearing and annoyance fitting them causes 😂 I think only two out of five had undamaged second hands 🫣 I started off big and made a few pannari looking ones these were much easier than the 36mm explorer types I put together. So congratulations on getting to a working watch without it driving you around the bend. You’ve done a great job with the hands. I gave mine away to friends and family. They make nice personal gifts
