Do you set your watch?

I've recently started watching "About Effing Time". Too bad that they discontinued the show, though. But what always annoys the heck out of me is that their watches are never set to the correct time....

I love it!

I was about to buy a Pelagos 39, but now I might go for this one instead.

commented on Timegrapher app vs actual timegrapher ·

I tried the app you showed the screenshot from, but my results were all over the place. It even got the BPH of my watch wrong. I had much more reliable results with the app "Watch Accuracy Meter".

But I don't have a timegrapher to compare it to.

Were they set to the correct time? :D

commented on Omega Vs. Tudor ·

I'm a big fan of Tudor, but would prefer the Omega in this case.

What ref. number is that model? Looks gorgeous!

commented on What’s your brand? ·

If I had to pick one watchmaker (not brand) for the rest of my life, it would be Seiko, even though I only own one from them.

They just have everything in their portfolio from affordable quartz to the highest level of watchmaking (Credor anyone?), I have high respect for their total vertical integration, back when accuracy competitions were still a thing they blew the Swiss out of the water, and the Spring Drive is IMHO the most genius achievement in watchmaking of the last couple of decades.

commented on 3 Watch Collecting Philosophy? ·

I would need a Daily, a Dress watch and a Beater. Maybe Daily and Beater could actually be the same, like a robust Diver or something. Tha would make room for a "Bonus", for which I would pick a Chronograph.

And for all three I would pick one that potentially lasts forever.

They wear them and take them off at the beginning of each episode to show what they are wearing.

But I don't know if they put it on just before and don't really wear them that day.
