TimeOut: Wise words Nicolas, that is one very valuable thought to hold for life.

Congratulations to your daughter, whom we’ve all seen various glimpses of over the years. And best of luck to her with her continued studies.

Rolex: Hang on Tony, they’re not all the same ? 😂

Love the older SD, we have that in common. I’ve always thought I needed a no date Sub too.

Independents: It may be more an evaluation than a chase at present.

Something sporty, casual and independent. I seem to wear the “easy” watches a lot these days. My Journe CTS gets a lot of wrist time. There’s a lot to be said for comfort on the wrist, and for those watches that don’t attract all the eyes.

Independents: I think it’s a nice midpoint.

It’s an Urwerk for sure. It’s more refined than the 103 and even most of the 105 that went before. And it’s more broadly wearable. Perhaps this is why you take to it so strong too.

Independents: Well, I’m now about three to four weeks in to considering a specific watch.

And I’ve had it on the wrist in real life too. So far so good. But there remain some miles to travel yet, and many questions to ask.

But for me what I am realizing is the obvious fact that the more engaged the process the more satisfaction I take from the purchase. This is totally unrelated to scarcity/hype/value.

Independents: That’s exactly it.

It’s the doubts, reflections and decisions that comes with some watch purchases, it’s not the chase of something hard to get. That’s the distinction I was trying to make. The process of acquiring the Urwerk, as the example I’m using, had all of that and that’s what made it satisfactory in the end.

TimeOut: There’s an article in the NYT with Kendall / Strong.

It’s an excerpt from an interview. They talk about the end. A quick read.

Independents: Thanks for replying.

A couple of things; the Urwerk I’ve owned for about 5 years. But I am in the decision phase about a new watch currently, sorry if my post was confusing. Re the retail price of a watch; I think there is an initial awareness which goes away after time. Like everything else exposure to something can no
