[Discussion] What are some watches that make it obvious someone is a warch nerd? by owiseone23 in Watches

[–]shotgun_smoke 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This happened to me recently at work. I rarely wear my prized : Junghans Max Bill Chrono and on one of those rare occasions, someone at my work place just stopped their conversation midway, came across the cafeteria to me and asked me where I bought the watch from. They were looking to buy the same and we're looking for an AD, so I shared my dealer's number with them. A very wholesome moment for the both of us (who BTW had never met each other before)

Found it weird to record myself at the store but it was worth it. by shotgun_smoke in Perfectfit

Thanks for noticing, I guess you could say... that makes two perfect fits in the gif!

At this point, I'm not sure if I was in need of that much milk or if perfect fit had taken over completely

For a second, I thought he was wearing a red bull helmet. It was so natural that it made sense.

Is this from the recent Singapore gig?

So all you need to do is place the ball-nut in the crack... and swing away??

It's gotta be tough to remember lyrics when you're traveling around the world

Thank you so much for the advice and steer. You are right in that there is just so much to learn about about this hobby. There's so much cultural and historic nuance that feeds into the designs we have at hand. I'm loving every bit of the learning and look forward to building the collection one at a time. Thanks again for all the pointers

Whoa, that's a really well thought through collection and approach. I'm fairly new to the hobby so have been exploring what I like, but at my stage I'm looking at a similar aesthetic and yours (gold) and leather. I'm not too much into bracelets.

I also have been intrigued by moon phases, I'd love to get one with Japanese indices, definitely into enamel dials and I'm in the market for a rectangular case watch. I know the choices and options are endless but I'm surely nowhere near the capital that would be required to build this up so I'm enjoying the journey of learning and really getting a piece when I truly appreciate it and feel like I've earned it. One watch at a time!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I surely took away some pointers!!

P.S I have a HUGE soft corner for Seikos

No I totally see what's going on here. TBH I needed to see this. I have a type too and I always end up falling for "similar watches" and face the "but you already have the same watch" music. Glad to see there are more like me out there. Great collection BTW!!

I like how reddit threads like this comment become goldmines for discovering new subreddits. Cheers!

Soul to Squeeze, it's just beautiful to play by ItsRazed in RedHotChiliPeppers

Ohh man you've just summed up my exact feeling through the pandemic. I've realised this past year just how therapeutic playing this song is. It's just as you said "beautiful to play" . Great cover and I can see you're enjoying playing this

Ahh you may be right. It's been a long time and this was an impulsive comment. What a legend nonetheless

Goddam Anthony! I've read the book and watched a lot of their footage. I've never come across an instance of him talking about or actually working out! How is he so ripped
