Forgive me if it's already been said, but do people still wear watches?
PS most in this thread are fucking awful!

Does anyone have a Shinola watch? Haven't been able to find any in the flesh to dribble over, just wondering if they're as nice as they look?

Lately, I am getting this craving for a new watch. Right now, I have a modest Oris Artelier Pointer Date.
I have thought about IWC Portuguese chrono, IWC Ingenieur, Rolex Submariner, Omega Ocean Planet with the orange bezel, Panerai Radiomir 8 days, Breitling Bentley GT, Bvlgari Diagono... I was never into Rolex or Omega till very recently but they are growing on me. Also, I always thought Breitling or Bvlgari are obnoxious, now I don't mind their obnoxiousness so much.
Now I am not sure what to get. I know some of you here have an excellent taste in watches. any recommendations?

I used to watch (eh eh) in befuddlement the enthusiast as they went of about movement and about heritage.
Even the costliest of watches still had that +5/-5 second per day off.
With an iphone in my pocket, besides my ping-pong equipment, I were amused: the phone never needs adjustment (and if it does, it does so by itself).So I snickered.
I wrote them off as crazy; that's what I do.Until I got my first (ahem) quality piece.
Listening closely it seems to have a life of its own. Hundreds or so tiny parts moving, turning, springing, day in and day out. A tiny piece of living machinery resting on my arm, living its life there.It is, put short, pretty great.
I still point and snicker at people though.
- is this original exposition you've written here? if so, its pretty great.formula
- Once you wear a quality automatic watch, it's hard to go back. btw, my IWC is +2 second/day.rogersterling
