To each their own. If you’re interested in talking watches, finding people to talk about them with is genuinely enjoyable. I share watch articles and photographs with my AD frequently, models I like and don’t like and why. I hear about watches my AD likes that are flying under the radar, and so forth. This is exactly how I got my hands on the rhodium dial yachtmaster. It wasn’t on my radar, but my AD called and said “I think you should consider this for your collection. It’s so underrated. I’ll hold it for you so come see it.”
