I get what you mean but I feel like that would make me never wear it and my goal would be to wear it from time to time

They’re just cool little pieces of history! Its fun to collect them, and they are pretty cheap

Exactly, and that’s something I appreciate in a watch. There is no doubt that you’ll be the owner of a great watch no matter what one you buy though!

I think the Ranger is far better value for money. It is also a better representation of vintage explorer watches, while the explorer is just a modern luxury watch. I've experienced both in the metal and id have the Ranger

I just had a couple of Sinns, Seikos, TAGs, a Breitling and an Oris. They weren’t super expensive but they combined to make up for a lot of money in watches that I didn’t use. It felt wasteful. Now I'm down to the Breitling, a Sinn and 3 Seikos. I might sell the Breitling and Sinn and add money and get a Rolex. Then I'll have my Seikos as Beaters and my Rolex as a good watch

I used to have about that many watches too and I sold/gave away the ones I didn’t wear and just kept the ones I do wear and I felt much better to be honest. I didn’t buy any new watches for a while but I'll probably get something soon it's been a while!

Pretty good. I have a 7.1” wrist so it's pretty perfect, that’s why I want to make sure the 34mm will fit before I buy it
