Rolex

I recently was onboard a flight to the Balearic Islands with 2 friends for some boys fun. Having drank the obligatory 3/5 pints in the lounge and then onboard the flight it was time for the little boys room at the front of the aircraft. As we were sat tog...  

You did very well not to tell them what you have in your collection. That would not have been elegant, and they would have had a heart attack. )) You are more than right to be proud of your Tudor. These guys will never understand. Best, my friend. Nicolas... 

What is even funnier is that all that trip you can imagine the banter about “my S##T Tudor “ ever opportunity they had. More smiles created by our watch obsession. M.

In any event, true horological enthusiasts will judge a man’s intent and passion for timepieces rather than whatever may be on the wrist at a single point in time. My favourite timepieces include Seiko and Casio as well as more luxe Swiss pieces that gran... 

You are absolutely right and so funny not sure if your age but at 8 my first watch was also a Casio but digital. 44 years ago. M.

This is what brings us all together. The love of timepieces. 🙏🏼. M.

Judge a book by its cover and all that. M.

And that Tudor chrono reverse panda is killer! Easily the most interesting piece among all those watches that you mentioned

I really rate the black Chrono M.

However this is not brand specific. A little over a decade ago I attended a Watchtime event locally, and as I was looking at the then new to me RM pieces, I started chatting with a guy who was visiting from the Netherworlds abut the brand and horology in ...

My life revolves wanting what I have not having what I want. You carried yourself with dignity and elegance. By the way, it was one hell of a great choice on your wrist.

And yes you are right a lot changes with age and maturity. Not all for the best M.

Thank you for sharing this story. The watch doesn’t define the person. It’s the other way round. I’ve now come to pay attention to this 79360N. Great piece. Best Gatsby

They are worth a look. I just love watches that look and feel great on my wrist. The Tudor range do that. The early Heritage BB’s tick those boxes for me. So much so I’ve just purchased another. . 73220b from 2015. Post to come soon. M.

I absolutely love Rolex but they just don’t excite me in the same way as Tudor do these days. M.

An acquaintance made a back handed comment about them to which I responded “these are the coolest sunglasses in the world.” He just looked at me and I said “do you know why?” Just a blank expression …to which I said “Because I’m wearing them!” You don’t a... 

I need to remember that one. Thank you. M.

It caught my attention (in fact I made a comment to my wife about this) that nearly everyone was wearing a submariner. Great watch, no doubt, but if the guys of the plane think they have something exclusive they are plain wrong. Best.

Out of interest which hotel ?? M.

Next time you are in Mallorca let me know. Always pleased to meet fellow Watch nuts and chat over a glass or 3 of sangria. M.

and one you handed with dignity. It’s a shame that there was such a comment as imagine this was your only watch that you’d worked hard for and someone dissed it like that rather than appreciating what a great looking watch it is. Hope you had a great trip...  

Just imagine how hurtful a comment like that would be. I have the same love and respect for all my watches. I can honestly say that they all do the same for me. The only difference is the values and where I can wear them safely. M.
