Do you feel like watch media and influencers are shilling for the industry?

I have noticed that pretty much every watch influencer, as well as most of the watch media, is pushing the narrative that smaller case sizes are the next ‘must’ have / go to. I’m increasingly of the o...

Yes, the influencers and watch media are shilling.

No, it’s just a coincidence.

Man, you’ve got to stop overthinking!!!!

And now the failure of Rolex is complete.

So, I've never really been interested in Rolex. I prefer the Seamaster over the Submariner, for instance. Add the fact that Rolex watches are always o...

commented on Do you own or want a luxury Quartz watch? · 4 days ago

I would like, someday, to buy a Breitling Emergency - which happens to be quartz. But Breitling has other quartz watches I’d be happy to acquire also.

commented on Is this Casio Watch worth $125 used? · 4 days ago

I know you wrote that it is currently sold out on the Casio site. If it were me, I’d rather save a hundred more and get it new when it is available again. Yes, I understand wanting to save money. But between a used watch versus a brand new one with warranty, $100 seems like money better spent.

My next watch for the primary collection is a chrono, specifically the new Speedy white dial. Damn sharp watch.

Why buy used when for just a little more you can have one brand new with warranty?

commented on Hot takes with Flythe: The date window · 5 days ago

The date complication is only as good as it is implemented. You specifically expressed dislike of 12 o’clock date windows. I love the way it was done on my Breitling Crosswind Special, especially as it is a ‘big date’ style. I’ll add a pic. Also, asymmetry dials have greater latitude for acceptability. I’ll add a pic of my Glashutte Original PanoMatic Lunar, which is also a ‘big date’, and very nicely done.

Daylight Savings Time and watch collecting

So, one thing I decided awhile back was to use the fact that I had a pair of quartz watches in my budget sub collection to my advantage. I’m not sure...

Etiquette question

I have noticed that people do not tend to list watches for sale on the forum. I’m not against this, and am not interested in WatchCrunch becoming a market place. Now to my question, I am upgrading my...

Nothing should ever be offered for sale, inappropriate.

An occasional item for sale is okay, infrequently.
