Sometimes I ask myself

Why spend thousands ££ on a watch when I get just as much enjoyment out of something that costs a few hundred ££ 🤷‍♂️ ...  

I completely agree ...

That’s all part of our passion.

I agree as well - anno 1967

Absolutely! You can be a purist and not spend thousands on each watch

As long as you own a couple of them that you have carefully selected, and maintain them properly

Exactly my friend.

It’s just on a personal note these past couple of years I find myself getting just as much enjoyment from a Seiko as I do Rolex/AP etc at a fraction of the cost.

For me it’s not a question of £$¥€. Only pleasure, love

And this one is a nice one for me. Best Ø

Absolutely true

Having spent the last 90 days or so in an intensive program of Seiko wearing, I am appreciating them more and more. Not just the value-for-money angle, but also the variety, the ruggedness of the movements, and the whimsy that comes through with their wac...

Hello 111Forza

 
 By: renerod : February 24th, 2021-11:07
I agree with you. Today we can enjoy nice watches for a few dollars, given the advances in serial production and quality control. It can also be applied to many vintage watches. Even if some now and then we fall for a beautiful thousands dollars watch. Bu... 

Thanks Rene
