Damasko: underrepresented here why are they ?

There’s no Damasko forum in the WUS Watch Brands section (but there is a Sinn, another German “tool” brand). Simple oversight or are Damasko considered a microbrand unworthy of their own niche? And I rarely see any Damasko that remain on sale for very…

A pleasant interaction with a non WIS

This past weekend I attended a friend’s afternoon Independence Day BBQ pool party. About 40 guests. I found myself sharing a table with an elderly lady sitting across from me by the pool. After the usual chit chat (“So what do you do? And where do you…

GOOD WATCHES IN BAD PLACES

Time to show fine horology where it really does not belong. You wouldn’t want your daughter hanging out at Fatty’s Chicken Shack & Pool Hall down on South Presa St., now would you? Of course not. Same applies to your fine watches.

Which Orient Bambino Dial Color

I like them both equally and in exactly the same amount so none of that “get what you like” stuff (@Nokie looking at you bud). Selling for $185 on Amazon but likely going up to $350 after Tariff Tuesday.
