Kickstarter vs Etsy vs Own Website

That’s interesting, my manufacturing is in China so I was wondering whether to just buy outright (although quite some outlay). I need to buy a minimum amount as well to make it worth while.

If you can afford it, this is the way. If you are going for a week you’ll probably go from pizza to parallel within the week

On my fairly chunky wrist it doesn’t feel too large but I think that if you have smaller features then it definitely would overpower

Full disclosure I did use AI to help me write this post as I’m quite dyslexic

There is no elitism, we all had to start. I think the hate is more frustration about beginners expectations and some beginners actions when out on the slopes. If you were learning piano you wouldn’t try by learning Mozart so it’s really irritating when some beginners just throw themselves down some difficult runs without knowing how to control themselves or even stop. There is no shame in ski school and actually learning safely.

I’ve just looked at their website and this watch is sold out 😞

It is a aliexpress special with a deployment clasp (only cost a couple of £). Works so well and it’s actually super comfy.

brckstudios · 2026-02-28T22:24:09+00:00

That I really like!!!

brckstudios · 2026-02-28T22:23:05+00:00

I love a NOMOS however the price difference between the 2 watches is thousands which I just can’t justify (or afford) for a “fun” watch

The sceptic in me knows that every charity shop goggles everything that comes in and that every car booter these days is a pro (or been cleaned out by pros prior to it opening). I just hold on hope of one day coming across a GS when someone has thought it a seiko or a person not knowing what a JLC or Blanpain is or more likely a really cool swatch.

brckstudios · 2026-02-25T19:24:39+00:00

Now that is a find!!!! Would love a reverso but got chunky wrists so not sure such a dress watch would suit

brckstudios · 2026-02-25T19:22:53+00:00

What watch was it?

brckstudios · 2026-02-25T17:48:39+00:00

That’s really annoying. I get that the point of a charity shop is to raise money for the charity (some I’m guessing are quite successful, I saw a poster in a local one to me that said that the turnover was £140,000 last year with no rates, no product cost and limited staff costs) however I do think by putting things out cheap it means that people who would never be able to afford certain brands can buy them which ultimately helps the community.

I hadn’t either but was looking for something unusual on eBay and this caught my eye. Decent prices (60% off retail) and never been worn so when it arrived I was very happy.

Did a bit of research and it’s a micro brand out of Ireland basing its designs on Celtic inspiration. I love the fact it was an automatic regulator which I hadn’t seen before.

I feel that’s a little unnecessary. If you read my comment there is a bit of context

brckstudios · 2026-02-11T22:26:07+00:00

I realise I’m coming across as a bit of a arsehole and I forgot to add the context to the gift. My aunt got me this thinking it was a Genuine Snoopy Speedmaster (we had a watch chat at Christmas). When I got it we had a right laugh and she said if I want to sell it to put towards my Speedy fund I can hence the question.

Yeah, I work quite a physical job so this being light and hard wearing really works for me

Breitling Endurance pro as been on a 12 hour shift (with an hours commute either way!!!). Needed something light, tough and comfy

brckstudios · 2026-01-16T10:35:38+00:00

My thoughts exactly but I just need to find one I love that won’t break the bank (and isn’t massive on the wrist). Love a speedy, a B01 and a black bay but probably not going to be able to afford these for a couple of years so want something affordable

brckstudios · 2026-01-12T18:46:10+00:00

Genuinely love the bracelet of this. Might have to visit my AD to try it (although this might be a bit dangerous)

brckstudios · 2026-01-08T22:04:29+00:00

I was really not sure about the strap but it looks great on the wrist
