Gold hands… Gives me positive feelings.

Blue is too common, dark, not outstanding.

No because of its design.

commented on What type of watch glass do you choose? ·

Yes, except that this clarity quickly declines with the micro scratches it takes. And it’s hard to polish well.

Sapphire would remain constant.

At least, acrylic would be easy to polish.

commented on What is the best starter watch brand ·

I would suggest Orient.

Cheap, robust, beautiful and good to learn of you like automatic watches.

I started with Orient as my first automatic and it had been my only for 13 years. It has never failed.

Very nice collection, it's inspiring me. Apparently we have the same taste. 👌

commented on Has the cost of living changed your watch buying habits ? ·

I would go either for micro-brands with reasonable pricing (like Baltic, Kuoe, etc.) or second-hand.

No luxury brand, that's for sure.

Even if I could afford it without even threatening my finances, I want to save for the future or other priorities.

Worth fixing?

It's a very old quartz Yema that I used when I was a kid. I already got it second hand at the time. It was probably made in the 80s. Unfortunately, it's in pretty bad condition: - the crown turned bro...

I found in social networks (not here, but Youtube or Reddit) some really hateful comment about Miyota calibers like the 9039. Globally they say it's c...

I think this is going to be a keeper (rant about my purchasing process)

To be honest, I find it nice, but this is not my favorite design. I would say it looks good enough. But I don't consider beauty to be the only feature...

Which one would you keep?

On a pure aesthetics point of view and proportion on my wrist… Specs are more or less equivalent and don’t matter much for me as they are enough for what I need. And yes, I MUST choose, I cannot keep...
