"6" Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi guys, I guess it's only natural to have this thread. Show off your time pieces for others to admire and envy!

kotmj Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I was just asking myself yesterday what I'd do if someone starts a watch thread. How to deal with it? I still haven't a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenterong Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 what's wrong with having one? are you worried that the forum will go off on a different tangent than what you imagine it to be? perhaps some ground rules would be in order, if you wish to limit the kind of discussions we have in here.

kotmj Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Watches are deeply emotive objects. My observation is that when you have a watch thread, the thread becomes a forum within a forum. The participants are watch nutheads who have no other interest. They are all watches, all the time. I like people who have a deep interest in a particular field, but these watch guys have only the most superficial knowledge about watches -- gained almost entirely via the demand creation efforts of the brands (a lot of which appears in the form of paid editorials by 3rd class journalists). They talk about movement finishing, and brand history and seem to be connoisseurs, but poke them a little bit and they reveal themselves to be brand whores at their core who rely on their watches to elevate their social status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotmj Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Oh I found the solution! Those who want to post here need 30 meaningful posts elsewhere before they can do so. Just like in the bazaar. But this has an asphxiating effect on the thread so I'll only do it when the watch idiot savants start joining.

shanecross Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think this is a great looking watch. Put a dark brown strap on it and its simplicity makes it quite versatile. They are not as expensive as any of the omegas or rolex you big timers have but I think it does its job fairly well for the 99GBP price tag.

andrew Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I guess I'm in the safe zone. Watches to me are more like side attractions, not the main event. (I'm the main event =D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deriku Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Personally not a big fan of the bauhaus design (though I do like the Max Bill chrono), but I can see the attraction. What's with the date position though? Would have looked better at 3. Yup a brown (croc/croc-grain?) strap would look best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecross Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Smith used to be the company that supplies the old mini cooper's cluster panel. Im not sure if they managed to catch up with technology and still make the current ones though. Nevertheless, great looking watch. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deriku Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I read that it is also the first watch worn on Everest (with a particular R branded watch). They seem to have quite a history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
