I never understood the “hiding new watches from my partner” thing. My misses could honestly care less if I buy a new watch haha. Maybe I’m missing something.

Yeah agreed. I’m also not a huge fan of how these bracelets don’t taper. But the rest of the watch makes up for it for me.

Ah man, wish I had seen this before the RSVP deadline. Enjoy!!!

commented on What does your watch say? ·

Depends. I've known guys with £30k who spent £25k on a Patek. Also known guys with £5M who only rock Seiko's. But the reverse is also true. 

Basically don't judge a book by its cover. every circumstance is different.  

commented on Do you get anxious about not wearing your watches? ·

I used to be the same way, but now I'm more anxious when I have a watch on then when I don't. I live in a major city in England and watch crime is rife these days. Better safe then sorry in these times unfortunately. 

commented on Watches for therapy ·

I certainly believe that watches can be a form of therapy. It's hard to explain to those who aren't in our hobby, but it's one filled with genuine emotion and passion for the subject.

For me, watches are a pretty emotional topic. 

I used to live in a 1 bedroom flat with my mother. We both shared a passion for watches and there were many we dreamed of owning.

Sadly, before I achieved success, my mother passed away. Every time I get to pull the trigger now on a watch we used to dream about, it's not just a personal milestone but I get the feeling I'm doing it in her memory. 

It sounds silly and maybe materialistic to some but, I think there's a great deal of emotion and sentimentality in watches and it's one of the best parts of the hobby.

Oyster perpetual 6748

Put a cheap Amazon leather strap on my 1983 Rolex OP ref.6748. Think it looks decent. I'm a sucker for any strap with contrast stitching.
