The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

I never got the AP aesthetic to begin with and honestly don’t understand why these are causing riots. I guess no different than fighting over Pokémon cards. Moonswatch is pretty cool though.

Watches are so subjective and what we think is silly now isn’t necessarily set in stone. A friend let me wear his PP (that just sounded so wrong🫨) and I don’t get them either. Wen I was younger and looking at a Speedy Pro, I thought “Why TF would someone want chronograph on an old school wristwatch, and on top of hat you have to manually wind it, for all that $$??” Years later I tried one on and it was like something switched in my brain. Now the Speedy is GOATed in my view. Maybe one day I’ll feel that way about Royal Oak / PP. Really hope not though

Today’s wrist and a free foot pic from the wife. I’ve been wanting a small watch lately, so I picked up this 34mm Swatch. Loving it!

Before I knew anything about high end clothing or nice quality accessories, I had my eye on this monstrosity of an Invicta mechanical skeletonized Russian Diver. It has lived most of its life in a dark watch case. Just came across it the other day and said screw it… let’s give it a go.

A battered representative of what I consider a really interesting, historically important tool watch:
Great resource on the history of the watch:

@RobeOfTheMagi very cool, nice patina on the watch also!!

Like the look and specs of these. Whats the word on Glycine? Seem's like a swiss that is actually reasonably priced for what it is. Quality seems good from what i can tell.

@WhiskeySandwich to my knowledge they use Siletta or ETA movements. I’d consider them cool watches with quite some history and quality

Not had a Citizen before. Quite like the look of this one.
