Thank you, I would add Momentum now as their Sea Quartz reissue seems to be a big hit thanks to the Magnum PI reference.

commented on Does it matter how accurate your watch is? ·

I rarely ware the same Watch two days in a row so usually end up having to set the time every day anyway so accuracy doesn't mean much to me. However, I will say if I was a one Watch or even a three Watch guy I likely would start to care more about accuracy.

-2 sec a day is within COSC is it not? Personally, with automatics I don't get to hung up on accuracy +/- 10sec and I'm happy.

commented on Let's Talk about San Martin ·

I've had good and bad CS experiences on Aliexpress so would agree if they want to take the next step they need to separate themselves from Aliexpress.

Currently I own no San Martins but I may purchase the Chrono I pictured above.

commented on What else do you collect? ·

I try to avoid collecting things these days, that includes new watches. However, as someone with a DIY problem I feel like I collect Projects.

commented on Who hates the new digital Tissot PRX !!! ·

I like it but for $375 I'd need it to be solar.
