Why do you gift a watch?

I recently gifted this Braun watch to a good friend of mine. He was kind enough to assist me in some important matter, and also saw his wrist naked. He said he inherited his father´s Rolex, but it had...

Watchmaking... is it too risky to try on my watches?

Since I stared this journey, I found myself watching a lot of youtube videos of watchmakers servicing and restoring movements. I decided early on that a least would change batteries when needed. My wa...

I see your point...but again, most of battery operated watches come from factory with a little plastic ring on the stem to avoid battery being drained before the buyer gets to it...its the case of Timex watches. One friend asked me if their watch was broken, but it was just this little plastic that was still in place, hence the watch did not start ticking. I guess if you live in a very hot and humid enviroment this could an issue. I think still the gaskets do their thing.

I do not have only wind watches... I do wind my automatics a few times when i wear them before i put them on. But I do not wind while they are not in use.

I do pull the crown on my quartz pieces to stop them and save on battery life. I have over 20 watches, so it makes sense, not to have them all running all the time.

I do wear ALL my watches, the ones I neglect, are given away!!!

"she likes me wearing (the Max Bill)" I do want that one in my collection, something with the Bauhaus vibe.

I have gifted my wife a few watches...but does not wear them. Fortunally my youngest daughter has taken to watches, and does wear them everyday to school... a couple of swatch, 2 casios and a Timex. She has also taken a Moonswatch that I gave to her mother.😉

commented on I "got the call" - Is Rolex becoming more available? ·

I was offered also from my AD a Explorer I and I was UNDERWHELMED when I tried it on.... decided NOT to buy. These can be had in the secondary market below retail.

commented on Have you ever scratched your mineral/handles watch glass? ·

Hardlex crystals (Seiko propietary mineral glass) can only be polished with a lapping machine or similar polishing machine...no poliwatch! that´s only for acrylics. Hardlex will scratch, and saphire will shatter. I have experinced both.🥺

In 2080...

I find it farfetched that two or three generations down the line (circa 2080), mechanical wrist watches will still be around, maybe in some circles in...

My whole collection of 18 watches is probably worth around $2.500. some worthless.

Should I continue in my budget route, or spend $3.000 in ONE entry luxury watch.
