Re: Morgan Stanley and LuxeConsult publish Swiss watch industry’s top 50 companies for 2023
Rolex at no.1 is no surprise.What is,is Cartier outselling Omega..my guess is that they are perceived to be a "superluxury" brand in China and to a lesser extent,India. Not surprised with this, Cartier havent really changed their looks over the years and so have grown into a Rolex equalli...

Re: Semaster Planet Ocean and Why I Bought It

Re: What watch have you worn most during 2023?
^^^ these are great @Dancematt ! You should be really proud. I found this when I was finding out what Falchion is / means - a Quora question from a few years back: Is a falchion a good first sword to own and where should I buy one from? Seems that collecting swords might have similar vibes to colle...

Re: You MUSTN’T wear it on leather!
Nomos have notoriously long lugs and some other brands don't get it right. One of the things that bremont are pretty good at though.
It's nice on a leather NATO mostly.
