commented on Wolbrook / Douglas skindiver. …. Any experience with them? ·

Yeah, but Casio just have quartz movements, so you would expect that. Other than that their cases are normally made of plastic, and the bracelets (if applicable) are horrible. Sorry, I never understood why anyone likes them, but I suppose we all have different tastes.

If you look at my last comment you replied to, I think you may find we were agreeing.

commented on Rolex Oyster Perpetual or Datejust? ·

I own the 36 Op, and I think it's beautifully discreet. It's different strokes I suppose, but i hate fluted bezels

My starting point is that 99% of people know little about watches, and 90% of those only know a little about famous brands. That means about 0.1% of the population actually knows what constitutes a good watch.

Once somebody knows I am a WIS the first thing they ask is "how many Rolexes do you own". Sad, but true

commented on Anyone considered having their wrist bone shaved? 😂 ·

I have the same issue. My wrist bone is quite large, and my wrist quite small. I have no option but to wear watches quite high. You don't need to have it shaved, just hit it really hard with a hammer
