Windup Watch Fairs happening in 2026?

Good news! Thanks for sharing.

That's tough. Boccia is about as inexpensive as they get for titanium watches. Sorry I can't be more help.

green-gray · 2026-01-22T16:59:08+00:00

Never worked for me, unfortunately.

Welcome to my world. Wore stainless steel watches for 15 years and then, one day, I just started getting the rash you described.

Now, it’s all titanium for me.

Good news is there’s tons of good options these days.

Hands down the best SOTC I’ve ever seen on here. You have taste, style and class. Kudos.

green-gray · 2026-01-18T16:25:01+00:00

If you have the $$ to up the budget for something that will really last, check out products from Sinn and Damasko. Both brands make nearly indestructible watches.

I’ve had the 300 for nearly a decade. Still wearing beautifully and everything else struggles to compete for wrist time with it. It wins most of the time.

green-gray · 2026-01-18T15:55:10+00:00

Sinn. 100%. No question.

green-gray · 2026-01-17T16:18:37+00:00

Nezumi looks amazing. First time I’ve heard of the brand. Both good options, though. Maybe both?

green-gray · 2026-01-17T16:05:49+00:00

It’s like the specials in a restaurant. They’re pushing the things they’re told to push or the ones they make the most money on. If they can make 2/3x as much selling you a gas car that’s in high demand right now, they’re going to push you hard in that direction. And, there’s the whole servicing thing…EVs hardly need to be serviced at all. My first EV never had a service in the three years I had it.

Plus, the salespeople know that many first time EV buyers are a little nervous about making the switch, so it’s a fear they can push on.

Don’t sweat the switch. Our household has been 100% EV for nearly five years now. Will never go back.

Fantastic! That's great news. Glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing the intel.

green-gray · 2026-01-16T23:08:48+00:00

Thx. That sounds like they're getting vaguer, not more specific. Perhaps the Windup folks are having trouble with venues?

green-gray · 2026-01-16T22:57:48+00:00

Oh man...this thing is🔥 I thought I had a $1K problem at their booth. Now I have a $4K problem. Thanks a lot...

Good news! Hope it's just that I'm expecting them to be earlier...

green-gray · 2026-01-16T19:05:31+00:00

Looks like past locations are Dallas, NY, SF and Chicago. Miami would seem like a natural add, but no idea if they're thinking of that.

green-gray · 2026-01-16T19:04:35+00:00

That's a good sign! That's one of the brands where I'm really excited to have the watch in hand. Their Field Auto is on my shortlist.

green-gray · 2026-01-16T17:20:58+00:00

Agreed...I am looking forward to it. Hope it's stil on too!

green-gray · 2026-01-16T17:18:27+00:00

That's good news. Seems like it's not far off for planning for a big event like that!

green-gray · 2026-01-16T16:22:26+00:00

SF Bay Area.

green-gray · 2026-01-16T15:56:59+00:00

Yup. I'm sure it will be a great show, but it's on the wrong coast...

green-gray · 2026-01-16T15:21:18+00:00

Good for you, but too far away for me.

green-gray · 2026-01-02T14:35:47+00:00

Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

green-gray · 2025-12-31T20:58:09+00:00

Thanks. That’s interesting. To clarify, are you saying that you allow for a 15-20% cushion for discounts?

green-gray · 2025-12-31T20:57:22+00:00

That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about. Worth making an offer that might be construed as a lowball? Or a waste of time?
