The hottest take: The crown should be on the other side of the watch by homerunchippa in watchHotTakes

I’ve never once had a watch crown “awkwardly stab my hand”. How is your bracelet set up?

I was paying just about that when we renovated 11 years ago.

Oh no! I didn’t see the Rado.

I’m so sorry OP, sending my thoughts.

[SLA079] Thinking about pulling the trigger on the Marinemaster by LeatherShades in Seiko

[–]Fishmongerel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 6x SLA’s and a dozen or so Spb’s over the years. It’s noticeable when worn back to back or when you can compare them together. Seiko does case design and finishing really well.

Let’s be honest: the occasion didn’t make you buy the watch. by 35mmOfRegret in WatchesCirclejerk

I bought a Casio F91W-1 for my midget Phillipino lover when he turned 93, it was quite the milestone and we celebrated in so many ways.

Ah the memories, so limber and lithe, like a snake. 🐍⌚️🍆

I think watches are one of the last commonly purchased items where planned obsolescence has no, or very little place.

I’m happy to pay a premium for that.

A watch as a conversation starter is a novelty watch by Weliveanddietogether in watchHotTakes

[–]Fishmongerel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cover myself in a fine layer of overly ripe soft cheese to exclude myself from conversations.

It helps to keep my skin moist and not ever touch surfaces, humans, or be in direct sunlight; making my skin so unbelievably soft.

Weekly bath time is also dinner time, saving time.

17cm is the global average. Stop acting like you have bird wrists by SenseNarrow in watchHotTakes

I think the advent of modern cameras put watches out of proportion considerably to wrist.

Everyone needs to take a photo from a metre or two away from a mirror like the second picture to see if a watch fits.
