Hello World

Reddit refugee here! I’ve been collecting for quite some time now and I’m at a point where I’m looking at downsizing if that’s even possible. Here’s a lazy sample of the collection so far…

Looking forward to this crunchy journey; Cheers!

Welcome! May I know what happened to Reddit?

@heizenberg as far as I know there has been some controversy with the Reddit CEO, prompting moderators to flood most Reddit pages with pictures of John Oliver? I am not a Reddit user so I do not know all the ins and outs, but that’s what I have heard. Also don’t know if it’s related to the recent influx of Reddit refugees, but I’m guessing it is

Welcome @pycvalade ! Good looking collection! You’ll find friendly (if sometimes snarky) watch lovers here!

Hasn't that been a week already? I thought they have solved the issue by now

@heizenberg as I said, I am not a Reddit user so I do not know. Maybe some residuals coming over here.

Welcome! May I know what happened to Reddit?

It's a long story, but the TLDR is several popular third party apps on iOS and Android shut down this Friday.

Some people switched to the mobile site or the official app. Others dislike those options or perhaps the way Reddit behaved so much they quit.

Google "Reddit API change" if you've got half an hour to catch up with the drama.

Edit: I almost forgot! Welcome pyxvalade, WatchCrunch isn't a complete Reddit replacement but /r/watches is covered :D

Welcome to WC! Always good to have a Montrealer here (I married one!).

·

Welcome, that's quite a collection if that's only some of it!

·

Welcome. Looking at your collection I'd say downsizing is not going to be straightforward!

·

Welcome to WC! Love your watches.

Enjoy the watch!

Cheers!

·

Hey, nice collection! Welcome to WC. I also migrated over from Reddit, earlier this year. No more 500 character essays. 😆

·

Welcome to the Crunch! Great community here, if I do say so myself. And really nice collection! —quick question: what is that watch with the “exposed” wiring harness and subdial? Looks super cool!

·

Welcome! Great collection. You got some real gems there!

·

Bonjour, # welcome to the WC fam.

You’ve been a busy collector… nice!

Downsizing is simple, what spends most time on your wrist stays in and most important keep sentimental pieces. Say good buy to the rest. Bonne chance.

·

Nice collection! I came from Reddit as well and I find the crowd here friendlier

·

Welcome ✌️

They didn’t.. they just proceeded with their plan…!

What a tone-deaf policy

Nice collection! Welcome to the community!

Hello fellow Montrealer! That's a lovely collection. I'm silently jealous of your Speedtimer. I need to add one to my collection.

I will have to check him out! I'm sure he will also have some obscure JDM models. It's dangerous for me! I'll want to buy more than one 💸💸💸

Oh, it's an awesome watch for sure. I'm selling it for my brother, and like you, I'm trying to trim down my collection...
