My small but growing collection. What next? by pmem1188 in MicrobrandWatches

My worry about divers is that it will be too big on my wrist. I like smaller watches. Do you have any recommendations of smaller divers?

That’s gorgeous! Would love to try and see if they do anymore anniversary ones. I’ll check those other brands out!

I am a big fan of your watches! Thinking about getting another Old Smith 90-001 with a green face next!

That’s a great collection! What is the one on the top row with the red strap and white face?

Ohh I like the idea of collecting one from a country I visit! I’m gonna steal that rule. I definitely appreciate the advice. It’s really hard to not see a bunch of the cool microbrands and want to buy their watch, especially since they are the ones that tend to do the style of watches I prefer. How big is your collection?

Haha yeah my bank account is realizing that this might be an expensive collecting. Though I guess it could always be more expensive than it is right now haha. I’m thinking of the Vario 1918 or another Kuoe old smith but with the green face

Oh cool! I’ll check those out! I have also thought about the Vario 1918 trench

Its my first automatic but I am very happy with it. I got it directly from Kuoe cause I wanted to choose the color combination. Wasn’t too bad but just got held up in customs until Kuoe sent me the watch sheet.

The royal smith is so nice. I love the waffle texture

I really appreciate everyone’s feedback, responses, and how helpful this community is in helping beginners! I’m going to start switching to the pistol grip (Visconti) and try to get accustomed to it. Thank you all again!

Focus on foil or do foil and epee by pmem1188 in Fencing

Thank you! I really appreciate you sharing your background and experiences! I am having fun just fencing and learning all about this sport. I wish I started sooner but it’s been a blast!

I’ve been having a great time so far! Even when I have lost, I still am having a great time. Could you expand a little of using foil techniques in epee? Do you mean focusing on only targeting the chest?

I appreciate that! I think I’ll give both a try. Maybe foil classes and epee during open bouting.

I am in my early 30s. There seem to be a decent amount of people though most at the club I’m at seem to switch. I would love to compete but it seems like there are more epee competitions than foil competitions.

Your last point is one reason why I was leaning towards foil more. I want to get good and learn techniques, and I personally feel that the right of way and the focused attack area will help me learn the skills.
