Not about the movement, but you should know this watch doesn't have a sapphire crystal; it has acrylic.

That means it will scratch very easily.

I have a few collecting rules:

  1. Each watch must be distinct in some way sop as to have a unique contribution to the collection.

  2. Watches are purchased to mark milestone occasions.

  3. I will have no more than 10 serious watches at any given moment.


Rule 1 keeps me from having a collection full of the same watch.

Rule 2 keeps me from going broke. Also, it gives each watch a story, which I personally like the idea of.

Rule 3 keeps me from going broke in the long term (servicing costs). It also ensures that I actually wear all my watches.

NATO straps are trash. I don’t care about how it looks. I’m talking about adding an extra millimeter to my watch for no fucking reason.

I’m not in a war zone. I don’t need that much security. I need my watch to fit comfortably.

Less of a roast and more of a recommendation: downsize the collection but keep the investment the same. You’ll get more enjoyment from owning half this many watches that you regularly actually wear and having them be much nicer, than having this many and not being able to give them proper wrist time.
