I actually got into watches because I noticed that while I was using my phone to tell the time, I would kind of fall into it and start checking my notifications and stuff. Having a dedicated time piece is really stopping me from staring into the abyss all day lol

I find myself plagued by phone induced stress, I enjoy not having notifications attached to my body. I do however think smartwatches are very cool technology, pretty amazing what they can do really. I don’t think I’ll ever use one though

Got this for the big 18. A great automatic watch with a reliable (Citizen) Japanese movement. I keep it in a winder and it keeps time well after 5+ years.

Is it because of cameras? Because there are watches with cameras

Nice score on the G-Shock! I’m a bit of a watch enthusiast myself, and I’ve found that sometimes the best deals come from places like auction sites. I’ve been into watches for years, and after owning a bunch of different ones, I decided to try out a super clone rolex watches. I was skeptical at first, but honestly, it’s been awesome. The craftsmanship is really impressive, and the durability is top-notch—especially for daily wear. I’ve worn it to work, out with friends, even while doing some light outdoor activities, and it holds up like a champ.
I am a hobbyist watch maker, here is some of the stuff I’ve built, modified or worked on:
Edit: also club G-Shock member lol

I’m a Steve McQueen fan.
So on the 7th day, of the Seventh Month, of Year 2007, I purchased a Tag Heuer Monaco as a symbol of my success. Absolutely LOVE the scratch proof sapphire crystal. Have worn it almost every day since. I don’t like being a slave to my phone for time awareness, but do aspire to get a new TAG Heuer smart watch to enhance being able to tell time in total darkness.

What movement is that in your “Luminor”?
That’s a seagull ST3600, I modified the train bridge to “show off” the gears and just experiment a bit.

This is awesome! How would one go about getting into making watches?

I’m not into because I don’t think I would be happy to own a watch of my own workmanship, but I appreciate from afar.

Monacos are sweet!
Vintage Heuer Camaro is my dream watch. Feel like they share a fair bit in common.

I’m super into watches. Love interesting designs especially, moreso than the lineage/historical/classic aspects.
I’ve sold more rare yo-yos to fund watches than I care to admit.
My favorites are 60s/70s racing chronos and 80s retrofuture style watches.
Have are my favorites that I own. (Other peoples’ photos.)
I also love my Jeff Pang ITEM watches. I have a couple of them - wore them so much the leather straps broke off. Need to DIY fix them.
