Watches - another OCD problem
-
@WhiskeySandwich Seiko is a top tier watch. Price has nothing to do with it. They make amazing watches with a pile of heritage and tech. In fact, there is no watch in my collection that has been more recognized and commented on than my SKX!

@StarsSuck I absolutely adore my turtle. Definitely my #1.

@northsouthdenimguy …you’re wearing it wrong
Edit: I’m left handed and can not wear a watch on the right arm as it just feels wrong.

I’ve never worn it on the right, I thought about doing that today but didn’t feel like taking my bracelet off.
I am wearing it above that little bone though, so I’m at least halfway wearing it correctly.

@northsouthdenimguy when that watch was announced, I was extremely excited and thought I would jump at the opportunity. I even tried wearing watches on my right arm to see what it would feel like.
Within 15 minutes it started bugging me and an hour it was back on my left…tried 3 or 4 times to see if it was worth it and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t for me.
I still think about it, but would wear it like your picture.

Definitely a funky watch and not for everybody. I just wanted it for it’s uniqueness.

I'm right handed and bought a LHD Tudor Pelagos... I have to set it upside down
-
@goosehd I'm also a leftie who can't wear a watch on the right. It feels incredibly weird and uncomfortable.
-
@endo I actually like it but the price is a bit high IMO

@northsouthdenimguy said in Watches - another OCD problem:
I wonder what Reddit would say about this?
Apparently that's how Jimi Hendrix wore his Rolex. If he was right handed, and a white guy
-
@Giles I've never had a leftie, despite years of collecting. If I was to get one now, it would probably be a Panerai, if I could get one a touch on the smaller side.

Nice one G, on my list (eventually)

Just heard Rolex discontinued the Pepsi. Man, RIP to the hopes of everyone sitting on waitlists. I find it shocking they would stop making something that people are begging for, but hey, that’s never stopped them before. This one was a gift from the wife and a really crazy story, so it’ll never leave me, but the aftermarket hike has been atrocious this week.
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@Go-For-Chill I read that Rolex has difficulties with the Pepsi ceramic bezel, ranging from fragility, inconsistency in the colours between batches, and having a bleed where the red and blue meet.
Rolex didn't really come up with anything that exciting at Watches and Wonders this year. The new Yacht-Master II is clever, but the original was never (as far as I can tell) a popular model. But I do like the celebration dial.
The Tudor Monarch, despite not being a fully-fledged Rolex, also appeals.
What caught my eye this year were the IWC Pilot's Venturer Vertical Drive, though it's a big chonky at 16 mm thick, the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph, and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronometre.
Most of the other releases felt like either existing models in new colours, or limited runs priced for the plutocrats amongst us.
