I don't look at still photographs of the watches I wear, I see them in all light and at all angles. For the past 20 years of daily wear, I've worn watches with underside-AR sapphire, dual-side AR...
I'm not a big bracelet guy, and I started wearing it with a Speedbird RAF strap. But the bracelet is so great I put it back on.
The twin, narrow faceted links look really great. The...
Just out of curiosity -- had you every tried buffing out scratches in acrylic with Polywatch?
Really nice photos.
I gotta have one of these!

It reminds me of that episode of The Bob Newhart show where Emily gives him an expensive watch, and he's uncomfortable wearing it because it's too nice.
It has to be uncomfortable.
No, sorry, opposite of uncomfortable - but tight enough so it doesn't slide below my wrist bone from its own weight.

I have a topper -- an opinion I genuinely hold that I express at risk of being booted from this forum.
Here it is:
If you don't own a Rolex, and you're thinking of buying one, you should first...
You already own enough watches.
Excuse me, sir, this thread is for unpopular opinions.
I know somebody who collects high-end fakes, and he's not a terrible person.
That's my favorite new Rolex. I'd buy one if if I weren't certain my wife and friends would hate it.
4) A 12-hour rotating bezel is better than a 24-hour GMT.
1) Sapphire crystals are overrated.
2) In the long run, there's no such thing as an "affordable vintage watch."
3) Every Seiko wristwatch ought to be smaller.
That watch is a classic! I wish I didn't give mine to my nephew. Can you remind me what the reference/model number is? thx
Dammit, you got me hooked on acrylic crystals in the first place! Sure, I used to be a "I must have sapphire!" guy, until I bought a PRS-6 and stopped being a spec-obsessed philistine.
I love all...
I cede all of your points, sir. I'd be very surprised if there were more desire for acrylic than sapphire -- if only because nearly every luxury watch model uses sapphire glass. Bless my Speedmaster...
You're right, that's exactly what I've done.
No offence taken -- I think you mean "the issue" being sapphire's scratch resistance. I can't deny that sapphire is more scratch-resistant than...
I can. :smug:
The 'milky ring' isn't a 'problem', per se, it's just the visual difference between the two that stands out the most.
I prefer the look and feel of acrylic crystals. I know I'm...
I apologize if this has already been asked and answered, but why are Timefactors watches moving away from (my beloved) acrylic crystals?
Damn! Every time I see a photo of this watch, I'm all, "Why do I not own one of these, yet?"
That NATO is perfect. What is it?

I'm in the same boat. I'm actively searching for a bi-directional 12-hour bezel watch because I work with people in different time zones, but I don't need 1000 meter water resistance and never will. ...
