Bumming around wearing a very special SMITHS vintage hand-winding *birthyear* watch all day today.





Didn't cost the earth, but means a great deal to me.

Spent some time washing a car today - never wear a watch while doing that, it'd be so easy to catch it on the paintwork


After the car washing I popped this one on:

I’m actually looking at a Tudor Norh Flag now. This forum could be dangerous at times.

Used or non-AD?
That really depends on the watch. I've seen some mid to high range watches selling used at close to new prices, while some certainly depreciate. Buying a popular Rolex for instance as a pre-owned item is a good way to own depreciation free.
At present my watch box is full, but I reckon any future purchase will be pre-owned.
The last watch I acquired was a pre-owned item, mainly because the watch in question is no longer made. My experience buying used was a good one and has definitely woken me up to the advantages

Yours Aye

i cant seem to break the cycle. im either buying a new watch because i have room, or buying a new winder because i dont. i started buying my wife watches and a winder. she isnt an enthusiast by any means, but the way i see it, now she's complicit.

i typically only buy used. mainly because i dont keep watches for too long, but also because i hate overpaying for something. this past year ive bought ~10 used and sold ~6 of them.

only time ive gone new is for limited edition or new release models. Like the Baselworld Omega Seamaster Two Tone ill buy new (have it reserved for me when its released in august) and the Tudor GMT ill buy new (on waiting list, will get this fall)
