Overall I'm generally not a fan of integrated bracelets...... But I'll admit I had to vote yes.

commented on Grand Seiko Snowflake Quartz vs Spring Drive ·

Quartz all the way. Honestly I find the dead accuracy of the ticking seconds on high end quartz just as interesting to watch as most mechanical movements, if not more.

Spring Drive is great, but I think the newer models with the power reserve on the back are better looking than the models with reserve on the front. The quartz option looks stunning all around

commented on Hublot is awesome, and the greatest words of wisdom I've ever heard with regard to watches... AKA, window shopping with @edge168n ·

My watches have objective value because they are tools, not accessories. I'm a tool, therefore every watch I have is a tool watch. Having many tools doesn't mean I'm buying frivolous luxuries, it means I live in a shed.

Hello, sorry about the late response. I just measured and it's ~6mm between the centers of each hole

Lmao great picture! #074 here!

commented on For god's sake, can we finally put a fork in it? AKA, putting an end to threads about "which watch is a better investment?" or "which watch will hold its value better?" ·

Watch buying isn't an investment, it's throwing money in the trash and getting a free watch after.

commented on Tudor Black Bay 36mm or used Rolex Datejust? ·

I'd do the Tudor or a Grand Seiko - stick to stealth wealth until you move out of your folks' place. The Rolex is nice but it's definitely more of a statement piece, and will really stand out among people in their 20s. If you get something nice that most people won't recognize, then you'll have the benefits of enjoying a nice watch without the risk of unwanted attention.
