[Swatch] X Blancpain seems to be a dud in c/watches@style.land

Hopefully people have realised what BS marketing gimmicks both watches are. I can't imagine paying $400 for a plastic disposable watch.

The Hanhart is more beautiful but the Tudor looks more solidly built. I fucking hate those leather straps btw.

[recommendation request] out of these 4 in c/watches@style.land

The Omega all day, every day. It's the most versatile. You could rotate straps on it and it would suit any occasion. Go for it.

[Rolex YM] Rolex's best looking watch? in c/watches@style.land

I would say so yes.

[Collection] My small but well-used collection. What does this say about me, and what should I add to round it out? in c/watches@style.land

Nice collection! It tells me that you like tool watches and don't mind using them. Why should a dress watch be on your radar? Do you need one? What about a field/pilot watch that is more on the casual side?

Nice collection. Especially that Zodiac Sea Wolf.

I've had my eye on this and the U Boat for some time. Well done!

[Recommendation Request] I just survived a stroke (I've also beat cancer 2x, and survived a house explosion, but that's for another day), should I buy a watch to commemorate this event? in c/watches@style.land

Congratulations on surviving your latest challenge. The Breitling Emergency popped into my head just as a smart ass answer, they're awfully expensive though, even second hand. With your track record who knows, you might need it!

Pair it with a red Zulu strap.

[SOTC] I'd like to think I have a pretty good collection. in c/watches@style.land

[–] Wh1tePo1nter@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep cool collection. My favourite of all the Seamaster bezels too. What year/reference is that one?

Can anyone figure out which watch Dana Scully is wearing here in the X files S1? in c/watches@style.land

[–] Wh1tePo1nter@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

100% it's a Timex. I think it's a Timex Stealth. Deniro wore a Timex Stealth in HEAT.

[Discussion] Looking for nice quartz pieces I probably haven’t heard of / seen before. What’s your favorite? in c/watches@style.land

Aside from the obvious Seiko and Citizen pieces already mentioned, I think the CWC Military Quartz Divers are very cool and aren't as popular: https://www.cwcwatch.com/collections/divers-watches/products/cwc-1983-quartz-diver-with-1980-dial-special-project-watch
