Wanted to maybe get a wrist watch thread up if any of you were into the hobby or interested in it? I got into wrist watches in high school and am constantly rotating pieces in and out of my collection. I’m active in various forums but wanted to check in here for an excuse to be a bit more active
The watch community is super niche and not for everyone; we can simply just check our phones these days making watches more of an accessory vs necessity, but it’s still a very fun, unique, and (in)expensive hobby depending on your personal taste. Price tags aren’t a reflection of quality, making it really fun to try different large and micro brands in the industry to find what works for you. You can find a watch you love and change the strap 100+ times to make it feel brand new again and the community on Reddit and a few other forums is very welcoming + informative.
Like any hobby, snobbery and ego-flexing exists but for the most part a $20 Casio tells the same time as a $20k Rolex and is equally respected by anyone whose actually into the hobby for the right reasons.
Anyways, if anyone is interested feel free to start the thread off with a wrist shot or just any pieces you’d like to share. If anyone has any questions feel free to post them or pm and I’ll try my best to answer;
If this exists elsewhere in the forums please feel free to link me and close the thread.
