On an anniversary trip with the wife in Greece and finally took the plunge on a proper timepiece. I was expecting to pick up a Panerai but something about the timeless quality of this guy spoke to me.

That watch is perfect for tiny wrists, that why my wife wears it!

I kid, it looks fucking huge on her but she is a vein label whore and wanted a men’s Rolex

I sized my SSDJ for my wife.  It doesnt have a step counter so she stopped wearing it.

When I got my Aqua Terra last year, my interest in owning any other watches just completely vanished. I guess that means I purchased well? Still love this fucking thread ... 

Anyone want to buy a Sinn EZM3? I need to get off my ass and get it listed somewhere. Just sitting in a drawer, and I'm never going to wear it.

I'm considering selling all my other stuff as I only wear my VC Overseas. I actually have my Yachtie on today for the first time in months, and I pretty much had to make myself put it on.

Rotate the grand and unders....but gravitate to the PAM422. If I ever buy another luxury it'll be a Breitling.

Breitling doesn’t really sound like it fits your collection...which one you thinking?

Rhodium. I actually love the watch, I am just a creature of habit and in all honest, the VC is such a superior piece to all my others I just wear it by default. It's not just a price point thing either, as I have stuff that costs more, it's just a perfect design.

What are you guy's thoughts on Hamilton watches?  I'm really digging the way one of their field watches looks and I'd like to upgrade.

Generally they are respected.

Assuming it’s an auto, no one here would steer you away. Unless it was to something else similar.

Buy with confidence. And if you grow tired of it, turn it over.

That’s the great thing about watches. There are always buyers should you want to sell.

good value buy.  good history (tho now its swiss).  good restrained designs (jizzmaster line).  good value.  

i like the maestro auto chrono, and the open heart.  thats just personal taste though.  the khaki is their classic line

FYI, for anyone interested in the Vapaus Vorcut. Here's an article from Worn & Wound. The "Atomic" is based on my recommended color scheme. This was originally the "Sunset" but they toned it down signficantly.

There is less than a day left on the Kickstarter. They also have some really nice straps available.

Anniversary present from the wife. I took a long look at a Tudor Heritage Chrono, but ended up picking this. I've wanted one of these ever since it came out.

I'm gonna leave it on the NATO for now.

 

Dumb question: this is the 2nd mechanical watch that I own (also have a Stowa Marine). Never had to worry about keeping the Stowa wound because I wore it every day. Now I'll be alternating. Should I invest in a winder? Is it "bad" for a mechanical watch to stop and start all the time?

Much better choice, why pick an also ran instead of a unique brand ?  Bond wears an O-Meega, not a Tudor or Rolex....

Start wherever you like. I prefer Omega over a Tudor any day. Never been a fan of them or Rolex. It's all personal preference.

Bond wears an O-meega .....I like Bond.

Ummmmm

Omega paid to have Bond switch in 1995.  He was 100% Rolex before that and Rolex never paid a dime.  Fleming always had Bond wear a Rolex.  And if you prefer Omega, that's cool.  But get your shit straight.

There is a reason a certain Nato strap is known as a Bond...
