NWA - You always find what you are looking for if you just stop looking for it

A random instagram find. I follow a local page with vintage watches on insta and they mostly have watches from lesser known brands for a cheap. But so...

I bought a clomage. Hypocrite.

After all this long posts and philosophical discussions of the “clomage” watches I pulled the trigger on one. I’m bit ashamed, but at the same time, I...

My wife calls my MoonSwatch Saturn a “Face Watch” lmao

Beautiful collection.

Absolutely love the look of the intramatic chrono. This watch is punching way above its league in looks. Wish it was smaller and at least 2mm thinner

commented on ◇ ONE BRAND ◇ ·

Damn, this one is hard.

I think GS, Omega or Rolex.

But I’m also thinking, maybe I should go for Cartier. Tank is just too good to miss out. I guess Tank Louis and Santos Carree might be the perfect collection.

Yes, it comes with a black leather strap, with some faux alligator texture and gold plated buckle.

I swapped it for a burgundy leather strap)

I don’t think I can both think that watch is ugly, but also love it. If I love something, it means this thing is beautiful, at least in my eyes. But then again, taste is 100% subjective.

Not my style is another thing. I generally dislike modern steel sports watches and prefer something either dressy or field-y. But some watches I find beautiful. I would never buy one of those and I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing one of those, but I just like the photos and wrist shots and other people stories.

I think that Rolex Submariner is like the opposite of my style, but I still love the milsub. I don’t think I would have the spare money to just afford it and wear on a regular without worrying. I really don’t like the Rolex Submariner, I think it lacks character, depth and elegance, but there’s something about vintage milsub that makes me look at this watch online.

Tudor Submariner, specially the Mini one - completely different story. Those are stunning. Still not right up my alley, but I think those are very rich in character, while being a nice wearable size.

P.S. Rainbow Daytona? I hate the Daytona in general, but rainbow gems somehow make sense. I would rather wear this brick of gold abomination than a steel panda version.

Yeah, L2L is borderline absurd on this watch, sadly

It looks better IRL.

I’ve had one, was a little bit too thick for my liking, but I’m a weirdo who likes small dress watches.

Btw, the thickness isn’t really that criminal, 13mm

My very late 2 cents on 'clomage'.

Right, I'm severely late to the party, but last couple of weeks was a mayhem at work, so I didn't have much time to follow WC closely. Now, if you som...
