“Boring” watches, exquisitely executed
These are the watches I find myself reaching for most. I’ve come to realize that… I’m boring 😂. But how lucky are we to be collectors in this day and age when such incredible micro brands are out there releasing absolutely amazing watches? What a time to be alive!

Thank you! Yes it is
Everyone’s got a type
Thank you! Yes it is
I have a 39mm sealander but really think I would prefer it as a 36mm
Not boring. Classic!
Love me some “boring” watches
Agreed^. Love a good boring watch. These are solid.
I love boring watches. And chronographs. And divers.
Boring? You took a picture of my watch connection. Oh wait, that's yours. Mine looks very similar to what your have. Boring is good.
I also love boring watches. That Traska Commuter is 🤌🏼
You say boring, I say monochromatic good taste 💯
Hi I'm Ryan and I like boring watches. I'm done fighting it. Black dials and legibility are the things that get me going! Be proud my boring watch brothers!!!
I take exception to calling these watches boring. These have clean design, are easy to read and have uncluttered dials. They are simple yet extremely elegant and each can be worn from casual to dressy occasions.
I wouldn't qualify them or you as boring. Each one has a set of characteristics that non-watch enthusiast can't pick up on. Like my wife telling me all of my watches look the same 🙄.
Nice collection Aaron 🔥
That CW in particular is straight fire. 👍
I love a gada field watch, absolutely universal, perfect for every situation, my favorite type of watch!

Same here!
I really hope #christopherward start adopting the Vickers Ultra-Hard coating techniques that #traska and others are using. Even if it drives up the price, I think it’s worth it!

Thoughts @Mike55 ?
There is nothing wrong with being boring. It means that you don't hold value in the external.
Wow, I love your selection! I'm a practical guy and I would prefer any of this "boring" watches over fancy, bright or too expensive piece

Thank you!! Couldn’t agree more
That ain’t boring, that’s class

I don’t use the term “boring.” Most of my watches are simple and legible, which to me is the purpose of a watch. I love simple dials. My Sinn 556a is probably the most boring, or my Hamilton Intra-matic.

The dial on the Hamilton is stunning!!

Such an awesome watch!
An all time great! Tudor abandoning the glossy black dial with the new BB36 design last year was an unbelievable disappointment to me
Agreed!! Makes this one that much more of a keeper!

Thanks. It’s really a great watch.
