[Montres Allison] thrift find! in c/watches@style.land

Yup! Boy this brought back memories. 20 years ago we used to roast this stuff for being ugly, poorly-made ripoffs. I had completely forgotten about that name.

[Hanhart] or [Tudor] in c/watches@style.land

Great choices both. I would get the Hanhart, because I like the bezel and markers better.

The water resistance is, for me, usually a persuasive way to choose, but not here, cause I’m not submerging either of those bad boys, so it’s moot.

[Cartier] Got my first big girl watch! in c/watches@style.land

Very cool. I think that’s the watch that Sidse Knudsen wears as the Prime Minister in the Netflix show Borgen.

(By which I mean it’s classy as hell!)

[Discussion] Am I The Only One Who Thinks Longines Watches Look Better In Pictures And Videos? in c/watches@style.land

I’ve been wondering about that. Their marketing materials are really, really good in recent years. Looks so impressive. But there’s something a bit generic too…

I am considering a Legend Diver or Pilot Majetek next year, and I’m just gonna have to find one in person because I’ve seen and heard conflicting opinions and think it might be model-specific.
