I did a thing...

I've just gone and bought a new watch online a bit early for my Nephew who turns 18 in March. Been looking/researching about this purchase for months...

Two mistakes and one redeeming action

First mistake, I rather dozily dropped my RW 'work watch' from a height of 2M onto concrete slabs 2 weeks ago. Happily the 1-jewel ISA watch mechanism...

Officially saying Hello to all Watch Crunchers

Spending far too much time wading through watch content on YouTube is my lame excuse for not being on here sooner. Always liked watches even as a lad,...

I'm of course biased, but if you consider a quartz to be more user friendly everyday, then something like my 36mm Eterna Kontiki with 200M, screw-in crown and good lume might suit...

Said Nephew finally received his new ML watch today and he seemed pleased enough with it. Later his Mum sort of found-out how much it likely cost and gave me a mild ticking-off, which I probably deserved. It may be 'only' entry-level luxury to many of us lot jaded on 10K+ Omegas and the like, but sometimes it's as well to remember that around 1K is a lot of money in context to an item that typically is displayed in the £30-£200 range in the window of a high-street chain jewelers.

You could argue that the designers of this piece missed a trick by not just specifying markers only at 12, 6 and 9 positions - thereby not dispoiling the beauty of the 'models' on the dial🤔 - What am I saying! Of course they just should never have made it in the first place...😆

Interesting little history lesson there. Shame that many won't like such facts distorting a popular myth or assumption though😆

I wouldn't knock anyone who gets off their behind and puts time and effort with the aspiration for creating something. I'm assuming it's a case of 'needs must' for you from a financial perspective - but regardless I feel that this watch is likely going to attract some hate.

commented on I keep hunting while wearing my latest purchase - normal? ·

Big ask to be able to find something as iconic as that new Cartier of yours - but you can always try, (and maybe feel smug as you look at hundreds of watches that don't measure up)...
