The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
-
I'm not touching that one, but I really love that watch.

I bought this Bruno Söhnle a few years ago mostly because it was on clearance from watchbuys.com and I had cash to burn. I havent worn it much but I just tried it out on a chevron nato and I like the combo. It’s quartz but I do like the big date, large seconds hand, and the movement finish is unique for a quartz.

I was thinking this morning about quartz vs mechanical/automatic.
I've heard people complain that they don't want to have to change the batteries every 2-10 years so they go with mechanical/automatic.
This is idiotic at best. Not long ago I had to send in my Omega for service (under warranty) because there was an issue with the hand winding mechanism. I had to take it to my jeweler where they evaluated it (couple days), ship it to the Swatch service center for service (one day trip), spend three goddamn weeks there, get shipped back (one day trip), and then I had to find time to go back to my jeweler (couple more days). This whole process took about a month. If the same holds true for a routine service, I am trading a month every five to ten years for a ten minute battery change every 2-10 years.
With that being said, I have an equal amount of mechanical/automatic to quartz watches

Picked this up the other day. I’m on the fence on whether to keep it or not. I don’t neeeeeed another watch, but this was a steal and I kind of dig the 24hr hour hand.

Glycine watches are an absolute bargain atm. I’d keep it if I were you.
For what it’s worth, I paid about $1700 for a similar model years ago…Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried to wear a 24 hour dial watch a few years back, but I never really adjusted to it. I think they're cool, though. I dig Glycines, too.

That’s good to know. It was about $500 at Costco of all places.

Much better after swapping out the shell strap from my Seiko. I like NATO straps, but it’s odd to cover the skeleton back.

It’ll be interesting how Glycine shakes out now that they’ve been bought by invicta
My expectations aren’t high…..
