Owning a nice watch

[True_Blue69]

Never understood watch wearers. Given you have the time on your phone I guess it's just a fashion accessory?

Never understood people who have no interest in a topic but go into a thread all about it and say they don’t understand why people are into said topic.

To an extent. I have to be honest though, I would never consider picking up my phone to check the time. Far less convenient than just looking at your wrist! If you get a decent waterproof one, then you can wear it anywhere. I go swimming, snorkeling, mucking about on the beach etc with a watch on - I'd not do that with a phone.

See for me I'm glued to my phone - that's a separate issue - so if I ever want to know the time I use that.

I wouldn't spend thousands on one but I have a nice Viv Westwood watch that looks great. Yes they are a fashion piece but they do look good and are a must have with a nice suit

A Grand Seiko. Just as good as good if not better than a Rolex for a lot less cost.

The textured snowflake dial on a GS spring drive is stunning in the flesh.

For many years I had a nice Omega and loved it but the servicing costs made it just too expensive to maintain so I sold it. Now using a 40 year old Seiko my late dad left me but I do miss the Omega.

I’ve never understood people who wear clothes . Surely a couple of sacks will do the same job .

The movement on those spring drives is a thing of beauty.

Who can be arsed getting their phone out of their pocket every time they want to check the time?

The sweeping motion of the blue second hand is mesmerising.
