Frequency to wind mechanical/automatics with little to no wrist time?

As my collection has grown, I’ve found some watches no longer get on my wrist. I want to keep their movements in best condition - some are NH35 which would be as expensive to service as to replace the...

Hello all - I recently sold my diver because I can’t wear a 45mm on my 6.5 inch wrist, no matter how nice it is. However, I love a good quality diver/...

Yeah those are really nice, will keep an eye out. I actually really like the look of their new Solent collection but I’m just not sure they are robust enough in terms of design/water resistance and have no lume. I’m now well and truly down the micro brand rabbit hole on this one and finding a lot a like in this price range (and even more that are too expensive 🤣).

First of all, it’s gorgeous. Plus, if you ever got a bit bored, a different strap with the white dial would hugely change the look.  
 

Second, if @ChronoGuy is right, you get to be part of a scandal. And though they might hate to admit it, everyone loves a good scandal!

Think you’ve been looking at a map of Italy, my friend…

That is really cool looking 🔥 - I’m pretty torn as I really want one but my opposition to purchasing it is from a moral, rather than a horological standpoint (although I recently bought a vintage Slava from a seller in Ukraine that I hope will make it, eventually!) Although if I buy one that is already in this country, then the money doesn’t go back, so that could be an option. Yet each time I give in to buy a watch in the 100 category makes me have to wait longer to get any of the ones people have suggested; most of the list came in above what I could afford (straightaway, at least…)

Thanks, @ChronoGuy that‘s very helpful!!

Good decision to have as can’t go wrong. I think the advice of wear it a bit more is fine, it could be a grower. However, it sounds to me like you’ve already made up your mind, based on your experience of it so far. And if it’s not for you, don’t let the pressure have you keep the Rolex when you want something else - you aren’t flipping it in the true sense and your intentions are sincere.

Glycine for me, will do everything and be unique!
