So, yes a Speedy certainly could be a must.
Me, Seamasters are collectable.
Wear great on my wrist.
Complete the sentence: "Every watch guy needs . . .
. . . x" At our alphabet soup gathering a week ago, Mr J made a telling comment to the effect every watch guy needs a Speedmaster. Not an Omega, mind, but a Speedmaster of some sort. He got me thinking: are there essentials in our hobby? I came up with fo...
I am a simple guy
And I like diverse collections: - a dive or sports watch (in my case: a Rolex OP39) - a manual-wound chronograph (in my case: something to acquire again, most likely an iteration of a Speedmaster indeed) - a dress watch (in my case: a Calatrava) This shou...
Three generics. You're . . .
. . . the flexible sort, Vinnie! Thanks for playing . . .
Great post
Every guy needs a: 1) Good chronograph - Omega Speedmaster Metas!! 2) A highly water resistant piece - Seamaster, FF, Pelagos etc 3) A thin dress watch - Something less than 11mm preferably 4) A baller piece - perhaps a gold Aquaterra or Yachtmaster 5) A ...
Also trending generic . . . interesting. Our community . . .
. . . has broader scope than narrower focus. Grazie !
Ah, an optimist! . . .
. . . as we Raiders fans like to say, "Good luck with that." 😕

The first five that came to mind all started with P, so let me list them here.... :-)
1) Passion; 2) a Plan; 3) Perseverance; 4) Patience; 5) a Patek (Philippe).
A side dish, as it were? Rather than . . .
. . . main courses? Thoughtful, Nicolas, most thoughtful . . .
Perhaps I should have said an additional hobby.
I suppose it is arguably healthier than cigars, less risky than free climbing, possibly more relaxing than gardening, maybe more fulfilling than writing, and less stressful than mastering a composition… perhaps the question is what would be (in one’s view...
That's an interesting topic
I will try: 1. An everyday watch 2. A dress watch 3. A sports watch 4. A quirky watch The first three cover all bases of daily life, and the fourth is really more of a conversation piece, one that has a particular detail or complication or history that ma...
Thanks for playing, Boris. You might be surprised to know . . .

I can appreciate cars, art, food, space travel, biotech breakthroughs, and even watches without owning a specific brand/complication/style (although it does help…). I think the most important aspects of the journey is the education (which evolves into app...
A core fundamentalist! . . .
. . . you got my drift, Echi. Can't argue with that call. 🎯
Every watch guy must own these watches
uhhhh. I read some of these words on the internet when they talk about watches. A Cartier tank. A Rolex sub. A Reverso. A royal oak. A Speedy. A G shock. A Swatch. A Tag Heuer Monaco. etc etc. That bla bla i do not follow. I am more interested in that rar...
