commented on Should Everyone have a Quartz in their Life? ·

I like having a watch with half-a-dozen useful and not-so-useful features, that's cheap and rugged and I don't have to feel anxious that maybe I'll scratch the case and lose some staggering amount of resale value when I do. So, of course, quartz is the way to go getting all that stuff. I love mechanical watches as well for other reasons. But I don't think anyone should feel that they "must" have a quartz watch.

If someone has found a way to make their life better, that doesn't hurt anyone else, I say, have at it, life your life.

The prices on those Ulysse Nardin watches seem a little wild, but, I guess they know their audience.

commented on Thinking of swapping ·

If you're still thinking about it after 3 years, probably a sign that you really will like it.

Something to keep in mind with GS is that a lot of people scratch them and then regret having bought them. You might either want to get one that is pre-scratched (and thus cheaper), or ask yourself if you're willing to have it in a box most of the time and only wear it on rare occasions and baby it when you do?

Really like this Casio ana digi with two tiny screens.

Love Orient watches, such a great combination of personality, quality, and fair prices.

I rather like the Sugess Moonphase S426... only way I will ever be able to afford that style of timepiece, given what the thing it is homaging goes for...

Sorry, should have said "staffordshire terrier" but here the terminology is so widespread I just use it without thinking about it.

Not something I'd feel comfortable happening to any of my other watches, but, this is what you get a g-shock for, right? Wear it and what happens, happens.

Anyone know what watch Norman Borlaug wore?

In this photo it seems to have a distinctive case shape, but it's much too low-res to actually pick out details. (Picture is from the 1960s).
