Can I ask a serious question?
Whats the appeal? A watch is a watch right? I like that Seiko but what is with people selling watches and getting others? Is it a status thing?
Cheers
For me, I go backpacking a lot. And something that always annoys me is I always have to dig out my phone and find the time. Which in places like Asia could be an issue, using phone battery just to find the time. And I use public transport all the time abroad. So having a watch was needed. I wanted something sturdy and light. It works perfectly for that, as that's its only function lol.
Which ones did you try on, out of curiousity?
Cosimo; I'm trying!
I've not stopped wearing the Tudor really for the last week. I think the Mrs thinks it's my seiko as that's the only other bracelet I have lol but I love it's subtlety, which is something I didn't think I'd say, with the others being such beasts in size. Behind the Longines (sentimental value on that) this is defo up there with my favs.
Dude... I honestly couldn't tell you, I tried on so many watches. Like I said, it went from the WW2 pilots design type of watches, to big HUGE bulky watches. At this point, I was sick and tired of trying out watches that looked like the fascia for a space shuttle. I told my mates (who like those watches) that it wasn't working.
Then the shop assistant suggested trying on a 'gentlemens' watch, slim, lights and simplistic. And to me, in all fairness, I have always liked a simple design on a watch. No need for dials or all of that.
then after a tonne of other watches, I found the Boccia, tried a few of them on, love the feel of them being so thin.
When he then told me it had sapphire glass and a titanium body, I was pretty much sold. It will last against a few knocks, won't scratch easily and generally look smart in all occasions. Not look like I'm wearing a launch panel on my arm lol.
