Any watch lovers here????

I have come up with a new "wear policy" for my three main (automatic) watches since it is a little difficult to wear them all often enough to keep them wound.

My Seiko PADI diver will now be my summer watch (Memorial Day thru Labor Day) since I can wear it swimming, camping, fishing, etc.

My Speedies will rest during the summer and then be revived after Labor Day when the Seiko will go into hibernation.




First World problems!!!

 

Got my watch in! It’s a Tudor Heritage Ranger. Tossed it on a nato I had but I have a few more on the way that I like better. I’ve always loved this watch and bought it for myself as a divorce present haha!

 

nice, man! of the modern Tudors, that's maybe my favorite.

 

Spooner, that's a looker. Damn!

I finally looked at a Black Bay and it's almost there. Just missing the "lugs" and I just don't love the hour hand. But at retail (if you can find one at that point) it's a serious option. That or an IWC Aquatimer, man, tough call.

 

Thanks guys. It’s the one watch I couldn’t ever get out of my mind and all the dimensions are just perfect. And I love that it’s kind of a do it all watch too but I’ll mostly run it on natos I think. It does have a leather band as well but the clasp is a bitch and the sizing doesn’t work well for me as I’m between holes. I would like to pick up a nice leather band at some point though.

 

I love that Ranger! What size is it?

Also thanks to @Dave K I can't look at the hour hand without thinking "angry penis".

 

What two Speedies?

 

41mm. And now I can't unsee that either lol!

 

You’re welcome.

 

Well, at least the wang hand isn't the second hand, I guess that's something?

If it was the second hand, watch that angry wing wang spin! It's hypnotic!

 

Yeah that's how the North Flag was for me, I loved the look of it but the lugs just killed it for me.

Is this just a Breitling thing? I have a Colt and granted it's a cheap Breitling, it's a pile of crap. I treat it as a daily beater but it's nuts to me that even with regular servicing, it loses like 10 seconds a day.

 

I think a COSC certified chronometer can lose about 5 seconds per day. A mechanical watch is not the best way to keep perfect time.

 

I don't know but when you think about what goes into them and the price they should be much much better then they are. Confusing.

 

Buckle up, gentlemen.

 

I actually want one of those. It makes sense as a travel watch and also a don't stab me watch.

 

Can't yinz just look at your phone?
