Teddy and Federico for me from this poll. But I also enjoy Tim Mosso and Brit Pierce

Reminds me of seven Friday watches. Looks like these watches would be fun to wear

commented on Buying the watch you want vs Buying the watch people say you should buy? ·

I’d say get the one you want. A long time ago I bought and tragically lost a watch from a brand I had never heard of. It was an EPOS chronograph. I did some research on the brand and pulled the trigger.

The watch was just beautiful and it was expensive ($1200) given my income at the time. I was elated with it. It ticked all the boxes. I’d say try to research the lesser known brand as thoroughly as possible. I miss that EPOS. Lost it in a move from one residence to another. I’m glad I took a chance on a brand I had never heard of.

commented on Is there a Watch Snob in us all? ·

I don’t think I’m snobbish at all. I just want my watches to last since I don’t sell them off anymore. Besides I’d rather have my $20 Timex over any fashion brand or Ali express brand. I don’t think this is snobby

commented on Celebration Time ·

I like it within the context of having a variety of watches, not as a daily. But definitely cool watch to break out in certain situations. I’d wear it if I’m celebrating a friend/relative/coworker special occasion, on Fridays when I’m leaving early, and I’d probably wear it if I was getting ready to collect on a winning lottery ticket!

commented on Best Nautilus/Royal Oak Alternatives? ·

I like the GP. I’ve always liked the GP. And one can likely get a discount on one. I do not feel it’s a copy of the Royal Oak. I use sporty cars as a comparison. If you have 2 mid engine rear wheel drive sports cars, they’re not copies of each other even they share a similar configuration. As for PP, I’ve just never been excited with their designs. Yes they’re top tier but for PP money-(if I was not another “mere mortal”)I’d get 3-4 nice watches I’d be extremely happy with.

commented on How many times do you rotate your ⌚? ·

I’m very careful about what I buy so I’ve managed to really like all of them. I’ll wear a new watch for probably a couple of weeks exclusively, but then I go back to my old ones. I probably average one watch per week but I have times when I switch out daily.
