Do you wear a watch?

[bojangle]

I've basically stopped wearing a watch since COVID

Because you're working from home, or what?

I haven't stopped.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

Yes

 

[AbsolutEnduser]

I haven't. Everyday I look at the time for something. .

I actually feel like I want to buy myself a watch right now, maybe something simple and automatic. Been wondering left and right on things and prices for a week. Secretly maybe been thinking about a good Omega like R3D ..but.. naah who am I kidding ..:

 

[bojangle]

Yes

Well, I say wear them anyways. We wear them more for ourselves than for anyone else anyways.

Is that how that works with fancy watches?

I agree I wear it for me but when I get home I tend to take it off.

I found a really cool watch I liked, but then I saw that it's 1200 dollars.

Nope!

 

[TheRobSJ]

Yes! Yes it is!

Absolutely. I put my expensive Omega on just to go to Safeway yesterday and Target today. I’m out of the house all of an hour. And it was the weekend so it really didn't even matter what time time was.

I’ve looked at those too! Kinda like a Nomos for 1/3 the price. I think if I went a little bezerk, I’d probably try to have a collection where I have a watch from as many different countries as I could find. And that Junghans would be a pretty decent way to check Germany off the list. Or you sell a kidney and get an A. Lange & Söhne.

the bauhaus style really appeals to me.

Maybe I'll find a $100 knockoff on joma

My favorite German watch is the Glashütte Original Seventies Panorama Date.

I can see why. That thing looks fantastic.

Around 7 bills for the automatic and I think there is a quartz version for around 3 bills, but have some self respect

 

[mikev]

Honestly I couldn't even see spending 300 dollars on a watch.

www.eyebuydirect.com and www.googles4u.com are my go to glasses sites. Pretty cheap and decent quality.

Speaking of German watches, I saw a review for this Sinn recently and thought it was cool AF.

 

[R3DS!X]

I wish I hadn't seen that.

Fortunately it's only 100 pieces so even if i could find it i probably couldn't afford it.

Can’t find it brand new but there’s a few around that are barely used if at all. About $5-7k would nab you one.

I wonder if that is true damascus steel?
