I bought this beautiful two-tone Islander Brookville to commemorate my master’s thesis defense (shout out to Marc; it’s my first Islander and the qual...

I‘d go for a caller because I don’t travel that often to set the time over and over, but I really need a quick set date function, which a Traveller doesn’t feature.

commented on What type of watch glass do you choose? ·

Acrylic for vintage-esque watches; sapphire for everything else.

commented on Would you prefer a lower price instead of a Chronometer? ·

I‘m not looking for total precision in a mechanical watch, so I’d obviously trade the chronometer certification for a lower price.

commented on Micro-adjustments: On-the-fly vs. traditional ·

On the fly when possible. I think it’s the best innovation in the watch industry 😁Microadjustments don’t allow that fine tuning; always too tight/too loose, especially when the weather changes.

commented on My first Grand Seiko! ·

Looks stunning! I’m sure it looks even better in person. Congrats!

commented on Rolex Oyster Perpetual or Datejust? ·

For the oyster bracelet and smooth bezel I’d go for OP, and datejust in my mind belongs to the jubilee and flueted bezel.

I just don’t see any point in datejust that looks like an OP

commented on True or False? You can dress up a tool watch, but you can’t dress down a dress watch. ·

No need to get defensive, I simply stated my observation and my personal preference. That’s all.

Perhaps celebrities do wear smart watches at red carpet events and just don’t allow taking pictures of them, that’s why they don’t exist.

I don’t know how you inferred from my comment that a Sub must be worn only with a wetsuit, it’s not what I said. I implied that I personally would not wear it if the dress code was black tie. That’s what I said.

People may wear what they want and how they want as long as they feel comfortable. I may have my own preferences as well. If you think that it all does not matter and you’d like to wear any watch with any outfit - go for it. I have nothing against it. I myselfwould not do it because I have a different view. Which, of course, does not automatically mean that it is imperative and everyone else is wrong.
