Fountain pen, watch, pocket knife ... I never leave home without these three.
And usually I have my vintage HP calculator (yay RPN) with me as well.
Oh, and clothes and such, of course [emoji14]

My daughter is a professional cook, and she says that Victorinox is very good value for money.
How's this?

You are a lucky man ;-)
I just polished another acrylic crystal (not on an Omega watch). Took me three minutes, and it looks brand new again. I probably need to polish it again in a year from now, but that's not a big deal....
The problem with the sapphire crystal is (at least for me) that once you see the white ring, you can't unsee it. Personally I am glad that I chose the hesalite crystal. OTOH, if that ring doesn't...
Indeed.
Well, then the only solution is to stop following the forum.
Yesterday I talked to someone who managed to shatter a Panerai sapphire crystal against a window frame, damaging the dial and hands in the process.
I'm not saying that plexiglass is immune, but at...
One thing I learned in my first job (long ago): shave every day. Or have a well groomed beard. A 5 o'clock shadow does not look professional.
I'm a very happy man

Not sure if vintage is an option, but otherwise you could look for a vintage Longines ... hard to beat a vintage Conquest (well, maybe with a Flagship, but that's not going to be in your price range,...
I would buy it if I were you. Certina make fine watches, and the turtle case back is a nice bonus.
My daughter has a Certina Caimano, btw ... different watch (and no turtle) but well made for the...
That's the next step ;-)
I find smartphones invasive enough, so I don't want social media on my wrist as well. And for the other functions; the last 50 years I could do without those, and probably...
I thought about a Speedmaster reduced because I often prefer smaller watches. But once I tried the Moonwatch on my wrist, I knew it had to be that one.
Nope.
I was told that vintage Longines are currently quickly rising in value. Somehow the brand seems to get more exposure, or otherwise gain popularity.
The VHP is a great watch, by the way, with only...
This is the IWC Ingenieur; would be high on my personal list:

My wife thinks one ... and that's part of my problem lol (she's not into shoes either).
That's what I am thinking as well; it actually would be a good buy for me, since I'll never get to service it in my lifetime. But that's not going to happen in the next two years, I guess (other...
Why not something completely different, like an IWC Ingenieur Automatic?
Maybe, but it's been confirmed in testing several times over the years. Tyres have become less all-round (except for all weather tyres obviously).
Here's an explanation (in German, so that's...
In summer, regular tyres have become much better indeed. But the rubber gets hard as a brick around freezing temperatures.
Regular tyre testing by ADAC and other organisations found that summer...
Yes.
Blame noise reduction and fuel efficiency.
Not a fact. I'm past that phase with fountain pens (and probably with watches as well). Now I'd rather want "less but better".
