Does anyone here condition their more expensive leather straps for longevity/water resistance, as one might for a pair of boots? I've never done it bu...

commented on Do you ever regret making that big watch purchase? · 8 months ago

I bought my first what I would consider "entry level luxury" or "premium" watch about 4 months ago. There are times that I regret it a little, not because of the purchase price but rather because I always planned to keep my collection small and sometimes doubt if that's the one I want to fill the slot.

My advice is try it on several times first, get a feel for how it fits with your daily life (activities, wardrobe, how it looks on your wrist from more than just a close up wrist shot) and then once you pull the trigger spend some days wearing your other watches. I guarantee when you've been without it a few days it will refresh your appreciation.

Love the handset on the Murph. Good choice!

I just do my best not to wipe starting with my forearm and then I'm fine.

In all seriousness, that just another place to potentially lose your watch because you took it off.

I wear a mechanical watch because cool and pretty.

Is my Fossil Blue really the best contender for #1WC?

Before I get into my unhinged tirade about why a quartz tag knockoff from the early 2000s is really the sleeper value of the millennium, let's take a...

Dubious strap origins...

Does the world of online leather strap retailers ever feel sort of arcane to you? Leather terms like "full grain" or "shell cordovan" are nice, but se...

Let's play detective.

Can you ID this watch from the imprint it left on my arm when I fell asleep on it? Post your own photos or hints below to see if people can guess you...
