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 general, after a short while wrist checks were in order, he was wearing a very expensive grand comp. which I was exited to see and experience and I was wearing my Sea-Dweller.
I rightfully complemented on his piece(a grail for me even by today’s standards), while his comment was: Come on, why don’t you get something better? Every carpenter in Holland has a Rolex(back then it was available),..
My answer: WOW! How did you guessed? And I just walked away.
My point is, this behavior is brand neutral and will never end,
Hope you had a great time!

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...
Arrogance versus true watch passion. A Classic.

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...
True my friend.

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.
LOL!

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.
True.

The watch looks great on your wrist
By: Mr.Gatsby : January 9th, 2023-16:27
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
Thank you Amigo.

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.
Don’t get me wrong.

I absolutely love Rolex but they just don’t excite me in the same way as Tudor do these days. M.
I was wearing a pair of sunglasses…
By: myles721 : January 9th, 2023-17:24
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...
Love it.

I need to remember that one. Thank you. M.
Five years ago I was on holidays at a good hotel at Mallorca.
By: aWtchslvr : January 9th, 2023-19:26
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.
Very true.
By: Miles_151 : January 10th, 2023-12:47
Out of interest which hotel ?? M.
Yes I know it. Very nice.
By: Miles_151 : January 10th, 2023-19:47
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.
An good story
By: Drek : January 9th, 2023-21:04
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...
Absolutely you are right.
By: Miles_151 : January 10th, 2023-12:49
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.
