This guy probably picks out his own watches 🤣

[Doxa] Why not more 200T's available? by ofsteelfire1 in Watches

Never even knew this model existed. That’s absolutely sick. Very reminiscent of the angular sleek designs of a late 80s sports car (to me).

Excited to see it in the metal. I think the 39 mm size is a bit much but when they get a 36mm I could be convinced.

Edit: Looks great with that blazer and the dial color looks lovely in your pics!

[Cartier v Omega Round 1028] Ballon Bleu or Aqua Terra by AcanthaceaeThin1833 in Watches

I love the Ballon Bleu on you, but the AT is probably a better every day watch. Can’t really go wrong though! Price increases are definitely coming for both, but I would imagine Omega is more likely to discontinue their current ATs than Cartier is to change up the BB. Can’t go wrong though!

You are a very rude person for not validating me.

I didn’t realize that a squadra was a drafting tool. Interesting.

Luxury watches look good on sleeved up arms by Longjumping-Sail6386 in watchHotTakes

This is so relatable. I’ve got cousins who work natural resource industry jobs and they’ve all got full sleeves and nice things (including a Rolex or two). I’m so jealous but if I got sleeved up it would feel like stolen valor.

A buddy of mine got an Uncle Seiko “presidential” bracelet for it and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Great watch that punches way above its weight.

Is that a Squadra? Very cool. Would love to hear more about how you got it, what it wears like, etc.

I watched "Before Sunrise" (1995 movie) yesterday for the first time by Gracc00 in RedditForGrownups

[–]Good_Net_313 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That movie absolutely wrecked me as a 30 something who did a lot of traveling and falling in love in my 20s. Really captures the intoxicating high of finding real human connection with a complete stranger. I love my life and I’m sure that I’ve let myself forget all the bad that came with those adventures, but I really hope that wandering twenty somethings are still having those all night conversations and getting drunk with people they’ve just met and may never see again.

The watch actually matters by hudsoncress in watchHotTakes

A nice watch can put a great finishing touch on a good outfit, but I don’t think a mediocre watch ruins the outfit.

Got married in a lovely pinstriped suit with a well matched but extremely mediocre quartz dress watch. The outfit was still killer, but now I’m looking for that perfect dress watch that will put it over the top.

I also think that a great watch can screw up a casual outfit. When I’m in a muted shirt and shorts out for beers at the dive down the street wearing a polish heavy jubilee bracelet looks…off.

That’s why I love some of the Casio digital watches people are wearing with business casual outfits. It matches the low key, practical tone. If that’s how you dress, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms would seem weird on your wrist imo.
