After so many years of learning about watches, I can say that I like hypes, but I can not say that I am always attached to them. Matter of fact, I find hypes very interesting but still make my own mind about a watch. Because you really don‘t know who really hypes. The seller or the buyer?
So where do I stand as an individual watch enthusiasts?
Well, let me try to illustrate this by some field examples: Instead of the highly beloved Rolex Submariner I love my Rolex Oyster Perpetual. Instead of the extremely hyped Tissot PRX, I think the Tissot PR100 fits better on my wrist and even the turquoise dial Casio MTP1302 that I actually like very much, was already familiar to me before the hype, since I had the same model in anthracite dial and liked it as much as the other dial variations.
And here is another one: Tudor, but not a BlackBay! I have made my choice and decided to go for the Tudor Style 38. Maybe the most underrated watch Tudor has ever produced. I think Tudor’s marketing department was sleeping when this model was launched and influencers still sleeping on it. A great opportunity to make your own thoughts about it and decide for yourself without any bias, if this watch is something for you.
What can I say? I don‘t want to influence either but it is a watch with a lot of quality power, elegant appearance and Tudors signature on it. It feels very real when I say, yes this is a watch for me. For you? Nobody knows..
The journey continues…
