I thought it was a great read and resonated a bit too close to home. I remember buying my SKX thinking it was the end game for me. Than it became a Sinn 104. Then a Nomos. Than a Tudor. What I’ve come to realize is the quality difference between a $4000 watch and a $10,000 watch isn’t nearly as substantial as the quality delta of a $500 watch vs a $2500 watch. Its all about finding the right limit where you have to say I’m not crossing this line financially.

Parsing a lot of watches and keeping what I want to wear for decades not months broke the cycle. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford this watches but the need to get a better watch than the one before is being perpetuated all over the place.

You’re Terrific & Random Rob.

The amount of YouTubers who review dive watches and don’t show the sound and action of the bezel has turned me off of most.

I’m curious how thick that crystal is. If it’s 13mm thick but 2.5mm crystal than it’s not nearly as crazy.

Yeah I was worried about him doing 23 holes today.

Thank you! It’s hard to wear any other watch most days.

This guy reflects. That Formex one is so dang good.
