Its likely my fault. My only real "common watch" is my DJ 41. The rest of my pieces are rare, vintage, limited edition, or some combination of the above.
Do you have a bronze watch in your current collection? I've found bronze watches to be a bit of a divisive beast in this community. Some swear by them and others despise them. I love their warm color (its why I absolutely love A Lange's honey gold even though I can never afford the damn thing) but can't seem to get over the weird skin feel they develop overtime if you let it patinate. Like the texture feels like its become poorly polished or rough. Of course that all disappears the moment you clean the watch properly so I suspect that some of the people that like bronze watches are the type of people to regularly clean up their watches regardless
Man a lot of ads from those days really didn't age well.
Tbh though celebrity ads never really worked with me. I'm not the type to attach my identity to some other person just because they are famous.
I've bought and sold my fair share of Cartier tanks and JLC reversos. They never seem to be able to stick it out in my collection. I am looking forward to getting my first Cartier Santos though so lets see if a square/rectangular watch finally finds a permanent spot.
I ditto this. Lately the amount of watch related crime has skyrocketed in most urban areas. Its making me leery of wearing anything particularly expensive when I go travel so I'm mostly sticking with something under the radar or a modded watch that is more affordable.
O'Leary bullshit really is some of the worst in watch collecting. He a core part of the popularization of the idea of "watches as investments" that really is ruining this hobby for many.
