    round or rectangular?

    possibly... but out of 10 people who will wear such a round watch, no matter how complex it is, the world around will notice the 11th who will wear a Reverso. Because it is different, because it is not part of the majority, because it does not align with the majority. Different things always...

    Code 11.59 Audemars Piguet.... what do u think?

    it's so hard for me to criticize AP, when I'm so loyal to it... but I can't say anything other than that Code collection really still has a lot of work to do... I find the chronographs so hard to read, that I can't believe that AP made them... 3-handers seem pretty ok to me, until I saw how much...

    vintage vs modern! help me figure it out!

    I don't know how Mercedes cars ended up being discussed here more than vintage watches, but in the end.... let me add my 3 pennies.... in modern watches, I love their corpulence and the sense of security and quality that they exude. even in these 2 Nautilus. it seems to me that the modern watch...

    Vacheron or Patek reps?

    it's hard for me to give my opinion without knowing which models we're talking about... for me personally, both give me the same impression of prestige, notoriety, and value. I would be equally surprised to see either a genuine Patek or a Vacheron. i love them both. for this reason, it would be...

    Solid vs open caseback

    my message was not to skip the movements, but to take things gradually. otherwise, a total mess is created in the head. and I think it is impossible to "read" inside movements as soon as you enter the watch hobby right away. that takes time, a lot of time. meanwhile, Eddie could focus on the...

    Black Bay Pro Tudor vs Pelagos!!! my own insight

    I see no problems with this model, really. lovely piece to me! that is, it is unique enough not to be confused with a rolex, and obvious enough on the hand, to feel present and attract attention. but not in an exaggerated way. after all, maybe that's the trend to make taller watches...
