As ever, opinions on these things are legion. I haven't a clue myself, but though I had read somewhere that you shouldn't, hence why I raised it.

Very nice piece of kit, but a question for the techies...should a manual watch be on a winder?

I've followed this thread, and I suppose it comes down to two questions for me: Are you able (or willing) to take the financial hit if you lose? Are there any watches in your collection that are irreplaceable for personal reasons? I fold. Mostly for reason 2. But then, last time I gambled with real ...

Another bump - I've been tidying up people's photos again!

Interesting question, Lindsey. For me it has never been about an individual watch having that effect; more like combinations of attributes that were to my thinking proscribed at one time and have now gained acceptance. I went through a phase of only really wanting to wear smaller "dress watches", ma...

I'm not sure I could ever amass a one-brand collection like that.

And...you have refined the watch and shirt photo into a true art form.

Very well done, my friend!

No surprises from me. I have a couple of vintage pieces I'm very attached to, but basically it's these two.

Both bought as mementos with money inherited: the Cartier in February 2016 in memory of my uncle; the Omega in March 2017 in memory of my mother.

Hello and welcome!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful watch!

Ever since the new logo I’ve come away from the brand, I keep returning in hopes the logo changes but to no avail. Cannot tell you how disappointed I was when they announced the logo was changing. I like no I love the whole trident theme and the seconds hand trident counter balance is one of if not...

Quite agree. Best post on the thread.
