Turkey Time!
Yeah, it’s a problem…
I met a REAL LIFE WATCH NERD today, and it might be a problem.

Is he preaching that people should be modest and humble in their life? I was not aware of that.
Folks sure are trying to do the gotcha I suppose.
The Speedy has a robust 50m WR, but I don’t wear mine IN THE WATER. I would want something with 100 m WR.
Dive watches are great, but you are limited on dressing up (my wardrobe isn’t impacted).
The Rolex OP and Explorer are the model GADA watches.
I like the Aqua Terra a lot for this in a similar price range, and for a GADA, I wouldn’t go over the Rolex price point.
Cartier Santos doesn’t work at the gym.
Longines Spirit is fantastic as is the Sinn 836 and the Ball Engineer III Marvelight at the next tier lower.
Going down in price, Hamilton Khaki is too sporty and Tissot Gentleman is too dressy.
The new Citizen Tsuyosa are nearly ideal under $500, but only 50 m WR.
Much more shameful to wear a cheap, crappy watch than an expensive one.
I also don’t understand the obsession that some people have over someone else’s spending habits. If you can afford something from honest money, you should be able to own it if you so choose.
Since you asked, I do not appreciate watches that borrow designs from other brands.
The quality is good, and that’s important, but there is nothing authentic about them. Their mission is to make money by selling someone else’s design for less money.
No issues if you want to add to a collection.
For me, I want a few watches with profound meaning that I can experience on a regular basis rather than a large collection of minor significance that sit locked away in a box.
Curating a collection of significance that tells a deep and rich story is better for me than a large collection of moments.
