Continue readingPict. of your small seconds subdial pieces.
Since I haven’t seen a thread dedicated to small second subdialed pieces, I figured why not start a picture thread specifically for said timepieces.
Continue readingThe post criteria is this: Your piece should have a single small second subdial (not multiple subs), so, basically a three hander. It can be an automatic/mechanical or quartz, new or vintage, low end to high end, a little beat up or in pristine condition. The only other criteria is that you have to own it, or had owned the piece in your post…
Negative experience with Exquisite Timepieces
UPDATE 2/1: I have a really disappointing update on Exquisite Timepieces. We saw Ralph from Exquisite Timepieces post here defending the company. Ralph contacted me directly, made some excuses about internal changes when my issue occurred and offered m…

Thank you for rekindling the watch bug in me. Also known as the WIS Madness (Watch Idiot Savant) I went nuts with watches for about 15 years, from 2005 to 2020 then my interest waned. I was constantly buying used watches here and other places and as soon as the bloom was off the rose I’d sell it and then buy another one.

Continue readingWatches in paintings.
Besides collecting watches I also collect art, paintings and sculptures. I bought this painting in an estate sale and I liked it because it shows the area where Post street and Market Street meet in San Francisco. Post street is like 5th street in NYC,…

On a different forum, outside of WUS, someone asked me about a current conflict that I’m familiar with. But they admitted to being ignorant about. Not going to get into politics.

A friend of mine is not a watch person, but he was admiring my Seiko SSK 017.
Continue reading
So much so he has already added it to his amazon cart about a week ago and last night he was about to click “Checkout.”
Then he said, “The one thing I don’t like about my Invicta” is that it doesn’t have numbers.
I told him to look at my Seiko, yeah, no numbers.
I told him I’d look around for a GMT with a similar vibe with numbers. My…
THE — TERRA CIELO MARE — THREAD
I'm a big fan of Terra Cielo Mare and I know there are handful of others here as well. I decided to start this thread as a place for us to share pics of our TCM watches, ask questions of other owners, share info, etc.
A brief history of Terra Ci…
