Thank you kindly! It is part of the journey for sure. Like you, I like smaller, curated collections. Mine is at 8 at the moment and it's way too many for me. It's becoming a source of stress.

I know many some standards 8 is not a large collection. I just mean for me.

Absolutely! That's the odd thing. I put them away and don't really miss them (well, maybe my SKX a little bit). Then take them out to list and start second guessing.

This must be what hoarding is like 😂

Yup. It's one I'm considering. I make these little collages to see how it might work together if I were to buy the watch.

I know. Mega nerd 🤓

commented on Do you feel like watch media and influencers are shilling for the industry? ·

For the most part, yes.

There are a few that are very honest and upfront about it, and I have huge respect for those individuals. That's why I only follow those few.

commented on Homages. Yay or nay? ·

I find that pretty well all watches have elements of other or more iconic watches in them. So in a way, nearly all watches are homaging something else to one degree or another.

In the end it boils down to, "my wrist, my rules"

😁

Rugged, Robust, Legible.

This is a watch made to be underwater.

100% with you. Drop it and go bi-compax. Or at the least move it to 6 o'clock so it can just be ghosted behind the dial in a bi-compax arrangement.

I have seen some watches use that as a fun sun/moon indicator, which is at least better in my view.

For the most part, I have just learned to ignore it.

What watch do you wear when you can't decide what to wear?

Having a very indecisive day. After going through 3 or 4 from my collection - I defaulted back to my easiest to wear do-it-all. You?
