Denis Diderot's Theory of Our Desire to Consume, Consume, Consume.

I was reading an article on Fratello this morning and found this somewhat fascinating, and unfortunately, I can relate a bit too much. The article als...

commented on What’s your best hot-take on watch collecting? ·

Yeah fair enough. No watch is liked by everyone. I dislike more watches that I see than I do like now that I think about it. I’m too critical lol

commented on Your go to place for straps?! ·

For natos, I like Crown & Buckle's Surpeme nato strap enough that I never tried anything else except a few cheap natos. The C&B Supreme is all I'd ever want out of a nato.

You’ll probably see a ton of black bays there. If you want a conversation starter, go with something that’s less often seen. Have fun!

Fair enough. I don’t typically get chronographs without a 12 hour register because I use that feature often, but I know I’m probably in the minority with actually using it.

Any idea if a VK67 costs anymore than the VK63? It does seem like so many brands just default to the VK63. The 24hr indicator isn't nearly as useful as the 12 hour register on the VK67, yet it's rare to see the VK67 compared to the VK63

commented on Two Watch Collection Achieved ·

Well done! Can't argue with these choices! At one point, I had these same 2 watches and my Seiko Willard. I had just those 3 watches for a little over a year. Was definitely a different time in my collecting career. A much simpler time lol

I can only speak to North America, but it's not that hard to find Omega certified watchmakers that have access to all the same parts if you spend a little bit of time digging around on Google and the forums. For anyone not aware, there's a forum dedicated to Omega watches, including a dedicated forum for vintage Omegas, and that has more info on vintage Omega watches than any one person could ever consume. There's even certified Omega watchmakers on that forum. They're not plentiful, but they're still out there. https://omegaforums.net/

I know it's getting harder and harder for everyone in the vintage world, but with some more time and patience vintage Omega is still totally fine. It's not scarce yet.

I’ve been buying and selling online for over 10 years. Ask me anything!

I’ve seen quite a few posts here on WC about people who want to sell some watches but don’t know the first thing about selling online. It can be scary...
