What’s the watch your fellow Purists would least expect you to have ?
I think for me, the one that probably swings furthest away from what you might see me post typically is this G-Shock Metal. I have always worn G-Shocks, typically from this same family as these suit my wrist best. When the Metal line was announced I was h...
The Rangeman is quite the monster.
If the air pressure is accurate I guess it’s a very helpful tool.
A quartz watch
G shock, My watch life started with it. I own and wear a quartz watch. Not real a WPS way. Why i wear a quartz next to my automatics is, i am brand orientated. The brand is the main route, than i look at the way time given on the dial. Passion for the bra...
Oyster Quartz is one of those unicorns.
Love the styling, the hard lines of the case and bracelet.
Now this is something I’ve never seen before.
What is the story behind this watch? Who made it? Was it sold with the car?
Made by Corum
Over the years they’ve had a few limited edition runs of this watch with variations. The early ones had a more prominent grille, while this edition from 1997 is more tame imo. These were not gifted with a car, but my dear brother did gift this watch to me...
For me, this one.
UN 160 Anniversary. I hated it when I saw the first press files pictures, I loved it when I saw it in the real life. Lesson learnt: Do never judge a watch before seeing it in the metal! ...
Indeed.
And I have yet to see one of these in the metal. Given the case it can only be judged in person.
Also a "golden" G-Shock I guess
MRG model limited to 300 pieces Although I wear it not that often I cannot part with it ...
I understand.
I can say mine also needs a very specific dress code for it to work well on the wrist. Pretty cool watch too !
Interesting.
I’ve wanted to buy the clock since it was released but don’t have a good place for it. Pretty cool I think.
Definitely my Tonda with ice
But I will say the diamonds are small, and thus don’t show up that well on the wrist. In certain light though, there’s a bit of extra *zing* from the dial ...
I think diamonds, in any size or setting, are always a little unexpected.
I think I can visualize how these stones might be very subtle in real life.
Always have been focused on mechanical watches, and since the pandemic did purchase a few G-Shocks to help adapt.
But the least expected watch in my collection recently would be this. It was a spontaneous purchase and just thought it was unique, different, and something I don’t really need to worry about, while being mechanical and from a reputable brand. A brand of ...
I was expecting one of these at some point.
I was also contemplating purchasing one of these new 5s. Lots of interesting choices.
The 5 series is certainly becoming a staple for enthusiasts (from what I have seen so far), and can see why.
PVD coating is not really ideal as it means having to baby the watch more than what I would normally do for something this affordable. But the look was just too appealing and of course could always buy another if the scratches become too noticeable. What ...
I’d not seen the Pac Man, it looks very cool (and fun).
Nostalgia is a strong power. There’ll be far more adults wearing that watch than kids !
But I think we know you like the accuracy!
Hope you are well. Did you ever decide on what the “exit watch” might be? Even if hypothetically only.
