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 appreciation) and the community. This place is a great way to get both.
Thanks,
Brian
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." 😕

A favorite brand. Not following others. The L factor. L o n g i n e s If there is a second love? O m e g a So, yes a Speedy certainly could be a must. Me, Seamasters are collectable. Wear great on my wrist.
A man with the courage of his convictions! "Say it loud . . .
. . . Longines and proud!" ( with apologies to James Brown )
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'm with you on the 1815 up and down. Preferably early production, white gold. Art

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...

01) Rolex 02) Omega 03) Swatch (mechanical) 04) Seiko (mechanical) 05) chronograph 06) perpetual or annual (moon phase) 07) precious metal dress watch on leather 08) ultra thin 09) historical [personal] significant reference / brand 10) pocket watch bonus...
