I can agree that I have developed a a philosophy about timing. If a watch is hot to me now, it should be hot to me 1, 3 or 5 years later.

I developed a database of "Hot" watches that I like. Funny is that very few have dropped off the list.

Weekend watches?
Casual or fine dining watches?
Thank you for your insight, it is appreciated. -John

I enjoy tracking the timing accuracy of watches in my collection.

I use an iOS app called WatchTracker and I would wear a watch 5-10 days and get measurements once or twice a day. I would rotate and do multiple measurements for a watch. This really keeps me wear most of watches. I have 3 winders, and sometimes I would d...
