Good points, although "Looks good to me" is the constant reasoning of crappy homage wearers. So... you're if wearing an Invicta... GO and put it in a blender. And ye shall be forgiven!

More than once.

I don’t know, how many do you have ? I’ve only purchase 3 and each time it was a positive experience

this is why i buy super clone reps now lol. If i like it that much even after that ill buy the real thing

@@gabeg3433 it all depends on how informed you are about your purchase. Think twice and thrice about whether or not you'd actually appreciate the watch you're buying

Her smile is just delightfully delicious !

it's contagious

She's fantastic

Its true

Well These comments are rapey

Great answer

👍🏻

Right ?! 😂

just wear 3 at the same time, so they can't get jealous ;)

Speak for yourself. I don't give a rat's ass what people think about my watches. I buy them for me. Flexing IS obnoxious and a sign of insecurity.

@@UGA.D Yes, but as a watch enthusiasts, if another watch enthusiast came up to you and struck up a conversation about your watch, you'd feel pretty good about yourself. That, in and of itself, falls into the category of "some level flexing"

This :)

I've been looking at the Zenith el primero, they're accurate however I prefer them from the style + the accuracy history to them. I've gotten used to moving my Hamilton 2-3 mins back every few weeks, it doesn't bother me

People shopping for accuracy is like a bell curve relative to price lol. People who shop for affordable ones are willing to trade off accuracy cause they know they're getting a cheaper watch, people who buy the F-you money watch don't really give a damn, it's the people in the middle who generally care more about accuracy from what I see.

I love the look of both the yacht master and the Cellini. Never understood why people weren’t crazy about the Cellini. I mean I get it because when people they think took watch but it’s such a great looking dress watch, especially the moon phase

it is a tool watch if you've got a yacht

I have an explorer but my "Tool" watch for sailing is a £17 casio, I have seen a gold watch fall over the side of a boat never to be seen again.

I'm with you on the 5 highly desired pieces V’s the 1 grail 100%. Cocktail time?... not so much. As a piece of design, it feels 'pushed' to my eyes. Forced perhaps is a better word. Either way, it doesn't do it for me. I'm pretty old school, in that I think that the closest thing to a complication a dress watch should have is a small seconds register, which isn't even really a complication! ...and I'm sure that there are complication free variants of the Cocktail time, so I guess what I'm really saying is that - to me at least - the dial texture is overplayed. I s'pose I get the 'hype', they're not ugly dials and I'm actually one of those rare Seiko fans that doesn't mind the upwards push of Seiko's pricing. I own the SPD123J, the cream and gilt dialled 2020 Alpinist. Admittedly I was lucky enough to have picked one up BNIB at a healthy discount, but even at the $650USD-ish that you can find them for pretty easily, I believe them to be a lot of watch for the money. I hear a lot of people complain about the price of the 2020 Alpinist, what I don't see is anyone offering an alternative from a brand with similar pedigree and an in-house construction that offers similar proven reliability and similar low servicing costs... I suspect that applies equally to the Cocktail Time at its price. And yes, I again again re. accuracy. I have a reasonably sized collection of vintage Soviet era pieces which I didn't buy for the accuracy!, despite them mostly running pretty well (either that or not running at all it seems!, but that's an entire other thing). I also own a rare and beautiful 'Kronatron' vintage Swiss diver, a combination of the Zodiac Sea-Wolf and the Omega '57 Seamaster 300 in design (that I grabbed from eBay for $50 by pure luck) that ran at approx + 3-5 MIN p/day! whilst I waited over 2 months for a new de-magnetiser to arrive (due to CV-19 shipping drama) and I didn't care one bit. I'd simply removed the watch, pop the crown and re-set the time a few times a day! Didn't really bother me a great deal. De-magnetising bought it down to around +20-25 spd, and I suspect that I'll be de-magnetising it a bit: I don't think it's a particularly well made Swiss watch - but it's stunning to look at. That's sorta OK for me, at least in vintage watches that are 50-60 years old. And finally : GS. Love them. In contrast to my earlier statement about vintage accuracy, my Bulova Lunar Pilot, which seems to run within milliseconds of perfect time, has shown me how great it is to be able to confidently set a tool watch from another watch in my collection. I recently had to re-set my Lunar Pilot for the 3rd time, due to Daylight savings. On all 3 occasions the Bulova UHF quartz movement had gained slightly less than 1 sec. in 6 months. I highly doubt I'd get that crazy accuracy from a GS spring-drive, but to get get close to it in a beautifully designed and insanely well finished luxury package is pretty desirable to me, as is that mesmerising second hand sweep. My big 2021 purchase will be a Ball Engineer III Marvelight (before they go completely in-house) 'cause what they do to transform an ETA 2824-2 into an RR103 is astounding (and easily serviced), plus I sorta wanna see how 904L steel wears on a watch long term... and I really like how the watch looks and what it offers at the $. Good comment mate - inspired me to throw my own 2c worth in! Cheers.

Anthony Smith, Nice response. Glad you threw that in.

Yeah it gets a bit uncomfortable sometimes when people notice how much you spent on watches 😂

I’ve never heard anyone say, look at that guy with a Rolex, Omega, etc...he must be bad with money. He must be a prick? Sure, I’ve heard that one. But luxury watches have always been a sign of wealth/status...though these days wealth is frowned upon (except when buying a $120,000 Tesla). A $10,000 Rolex = ostentatious, but somehow a $120,000 Tesla = grounded. 🤡🌏

You are bad with your self confidence,millenials.

@@jdstarek I say coworkers specifically. Imagine a situation where everyone works the same modest $50k USD annual salary.. To everyone on the outside, it's a measure of wealth and success. To everyone making roughly the same and is aware of your modest salary, it has the potential to come off as an imprudent purchase. Sure, it's none of their business what one wants to save their money for, but I am saying that it has that potential. Also Tesla start at $37k for the model 3 which are most of what I see. Not exactly cheap but a far cry from the top of the line $120k ones.

@@jdstarek Unless you are livin in the current Germany, where communistical movements are strongly ongoing

I don't think it's the functionality aspect, as in causing real world issues, it's just the voice in the back of your head saying it's not right, it's off. I tolerate it for the mechanicals I like, but I'm regularly adjusting them back to the exact time. That's once every day or two, if I wear one for an extended time, which is common. If you're the type that rotates/revives a different watch every day, obviously not an issue.

@Ilya Kuryakin nah, she's got that great grandma wisdom.

That's a given! Alyays pay with your card!

She was invited to one of Hodinkee's latest podcasts. Super cool, check it out.

Agreed. Coming from a Filipino.

i'm sure you will get a lot of play for that one!!

Thank you Darren 😊 (hope i don’t sound like a creep but I know you from Facebook :D we’re both in the same group 🙌🏻)

@@JenniElle yes yes i know :) im member of many watch groups so its no coincidence. Cheers and see you around the pages 🤗.

Do it! I’ve been trying to make it happen for a long time hah
