This. Other than a wedding band a watch is the only piece of jewelry I will ever rock. And a mechanical watch reps several personality things about me:max225 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 11:57 am That was an interesting read.. on the watches.. OMEGA's are classics... especially the 60s and 70s... since they were at the peak of their game then. Now that Swatch has copied the moon watch, it has destroyed the brand IMO.
Either way loved the read. Mechanical watches are dude jewelry ... I have come to appreciate them a bit.
1. My high hard middle finger to putting another way to harass and contact my inherently introverted self right on my wrist. The phone is bad enough. (I respect, and have heard, the arguments that the Iwatch reduces phone use, I just can't go there.)
2. My general for over teching every god damned thing in the universe.
3. Mechanical watches are, (notwithstanding some extra luxury brand fluff) a link to an era when people took the time and craftsmanship to make beautiful things. It's like wearing a Weber Carbureted 12 cylinder Ferrari instead of a fucking Tupperware Plaid Tesla.
