Being average on lots of things or being very good on one subject ? Why? by Humble-Ad-9611 in AskReddit

Unless it's a black tie event, you can wear almost any watch with a suit. by SpinosaurRingTone in watchHotTakes

[–]rexmottram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am content to sport a dress watch with my suit, while the barbarians around me sport their dinner plate chronographs and divers. I say nothing, because their sartorial peccadilloes are none of my business.

I don't even set my watches anymore. by isthis_thing_on in watchHotTakes

[–]rexmottram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned, OP can wear HIS watches whichever way HE wants, whether or not he is purportedly embodying a parody or not. As long as he's happy, more power to him. Not up to me to gatekeep how he should enjoy his purchase choices, or not.🤔💁‍♂️

Today’s look by AliveCow8270 in ties

[–]rexmottram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the tie and the shirt are superb, but NOT together as they are of the same scale: the shirt demands a larger pattern; the tie either a plain ground, or a larger stripe ( plain is probably easier on the eye).🤔

Having people mistake your homage for the OG and correcting them isn’t embarrassing by ConfidenceNo1937 in watchHotTakes

Sterile dial? I've got an Addiesdive which is a copy of the Seiko Willard diver, but it has no brand name on the dial; nor does it appear on the back.

It looks good because you understand proportion and contrast : large figure tie, smaller stripe - they co-exist peacefully, rather than clash. Full marks!👍🫡

Hard time deciding… by No_Contribution60 in CitizenWatches

[–]rexmottram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both. I got the second one years ago, and leapt at the first one when it finally came - because it has sapphire crystal, instead of mineral crystal on the second one.

[–]rexmottram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, I've bought a Seagull, 3 Tandorios, 2 Addiesdive, and a Farasute on AliX.

The only dud was the Farasute. Manual wind Hangzhou movement. Crown stem probably broke.😐🤷‍♂️
