commented on Jeebus it’s only February and I’ve already bought 4 watches ·

Two so far, but temptation is always 'round the corner.

commented on Tokyo_ghost's WRUW ·

Is that a standard dial or a mod?

commented on Ranger 🛡️ ·

I wouldn't say hated, but there is definitely better in the Tudor range.

commented on Does driving affect the watch movement? ·

Unless you're driving a racing car from the 80s, I wouldn't worry.

commented on Does dial aging/patina bothers you? ·

That, for me, is a bit too much patina on such a nice watch.

commented on Will modern watch dials patinate in time? ·

I have a couple of watches that I've owned from new for 23 years and they have no patina whatsoever. While neither was babied, it's fair to say that they were not worn on a daily basis and were stored in a watchbox while not in use. I would anyway go out on a limb and say that (relatively) modern watches don't patinate.
