My partner's birthday is this Sunday and I've been browsing watches for her. I don't think she's ever owned a traditional watch before and she recently stopped wearing her Apple watch due to her want to disconnect from technology. So, I got her a 'dumb' watch. I stuck within the 'affordables' sector since it's her first watch – if she likes it and wears it routinely, she can always invest in something that's more.

I looked at a couple Citizen Eco Drives. I used to have the 'Ron Swanson'…

Parting with my 22mm Borealis "ISO" straps. Bought them, never reach for them, passing them along. Spent 99% of their time in my watch box, maybe worn once each. No signs of wear (pardon the dust).

I'm confident this isn't the first post like this, so feel free to share links, but I've been leaning towards going the 'one watch' route. I previously had a bunch of micro divers (Halios, Helson, Steinhart, MKII), loved them but decided to make the leap to a one watch collection a few years ago (Omega) and recently added a second (the Panerai). Love them, have enjoyed them, but one led to two, two will lead to three, three to four, etc. So going with one over-the-top watch would probably be...

Really would love to see some wrist shots. It's such a unique piece but hard to get a feel for it with the promotional shots.

100% the best dial in the industry, 100% the worst case in the industry

What does the crowd think? I'm undecided so far.

Thought I'd try this out instead of a traditional zulu since 26mm is pretty limited. If anyone has any secret sources on 26mm natos, I'm all ears

A local jeweler has a rather limited 1950 case up for sale that I really like and is in good shape, but no B&P sadly. Explains why the price is 1.5-2k less than comparable examples that are online. I contacted my local AD and was told I can bring it in, pay them $450 and get a new copy of the papers within a few days, so checkmark there, but they can't help me out with the box (maybe it's because it's a LE and has a special little plaque in it). Given the jeweler's reputation I have no...

Hi all,

Looking to add a Rolex to my rotation, eyeing either a Deepsea or a Polar Explorer II.

Now, I get Rolex is very expensive. Everything in-house, superlative chronometer, etc. Their attention to detail is commendable and what brings me to wanting one. I definitely have some reservations about buying something that only tells you the time and costs more than my first car, but our great human capacity to rationalize distinguishes us from the apes.
