MWC - Official Misc Wristwatch Crew Part VI: Patek or Bust - READ the OP

[TugOfPeace]

haha bro this is too much hnnng for me. I might sell my condo buy a watch and start renting for the rest of my life

do yourself a favor and buy a watch you an truly afford. what this means is a watch where if you took the money you bought to buy that watch and burned it, it wouldn't affect your financial situation.

too many people out there wearing $50k rolexes and driving subarus (you aweir?)

I still own my home lol

Honestly I am pretty underwhelmed with the finish. It looks better in the picture than irl.

Im thinking of getting this instead or the blue mako

[Arsenal01]

would a 34mm watch look too small on my wrist (7 inch)?

The 34mm has the days in arabic also which I would prefer. Above is the orient with is 42 mm on my wrist for reference

[ChknFrydMFer]

^yes it'll look pretty small

[twovalvekid]

This. Definitely would look small. Even the 37mm DJ's ive seen look small to me, and i loathe larger watches.

NATO suggestions?

I have a B&R XTREME Nylon Military Watch Strap which I really like. It sat too tall on my wrist so I cut the 'nato loop' off and made it a single pass. At the same time, I cut the strap to length so it doesnt need to be folded over. But I wish the retainer loops sat flush. Do you know of any seatbelt singlepass bands with slimmer hardware?

Do Americans pay tax in Canada?

A Canada Rolex AD says they have a sub available I was thinking of getting. Just can't remember if I get Rekt on taxes

So I'm debating if I wanna spend 250-500 on a new watch. I definitely appreciate watches but I never really got into collecting. Here's my measley watch collection (if you wanna call it that lol).

^mirin. Seiko crew checkin in. You should go ahead and get you a sporty mechanical srs. Maybe a seiko 5 diver or Orient Mako

Nice I'll take a look at both of them. I love my Seiko, I pieced together the band and face separately and it gets tons of comments. Oddly enough that cheap Timex gets a lot of love too. At a quick glance I've had people ask if it was a Movado.

[ItsJamesthefin]

I really like this watch but I'm guessing this is more dressy?

[leoaa777]

Got offered a submariner no date by AD. Skipped it.

Get on the list for a Halios. Only affordable watch that holds its value. I have nine

Picked up a Hublot Black Magic

[chino3]

I've thinned the herd considerably, but even still these don't get much wear... sad

Honestly I'm indifferent on this one...don't hate it, don't love it

That AT/DJ combo is proper

1 to 2 grand is affordable? theres hardly any reason to get a 1k watch unless your getting a good deal. might as well spend 5 or 6k on an Omega

Glad to see this thread still going !

Tybby. on spread.

I absolutely agree on this one and wanted to share my story when I left my AP watch in taxi in Thailand.. was very upset and disappointed ngl but thankfully my beloved wife got me a new (previously owned) Rolex Yachtmaster 6 months later on my birthday. The situation was absolutely frustrating but it gave me a huge lesson..

Anyways here's the new addition. Ill keep this one for a while!
