Do you seriously have a real Patek Philippe??
So jealous if you do, that's my dream watch.

I only just started to wear a watch some weeks ago, and my dad gave it to me as a present, he had a gig for Fossil at this years clock expo in Frankfurt and got it for publicity reasons .

Recently bought this watch. It's one of the cheaper swiss watches but looks great!

It opens from the back to too so you can see the insides more and stuff.

You don't like the Patek Philippe because the surface isn't "clean", but you like that monstrosity of a mess... what? lol
The "little dials" you're talking about add layers of complexity in the mechanics of the watch that make it a mechanical engineering masterpiece.. just fyi.

I had a Tissot Seastar vintage as fuck, it was manual and you had to drag it up yourself almost like this one:
(this one is automatic though, newer and def not my arm )
But I had brown leather watchstrap and it was awesome and I loved it, but I lost it while I was drunk, I have no idea how you drop a watch, I even remember the whole evening.

Love my watch~

I have small wrists so this fits me well. Next I want a silver watch

This seems to be a watch enthusiast thread instead of "post your watch" thread. I'm finding it hard to believe most of you actualy own the watch you're posting.
Like many said I just use my phone and have A watch for when I go to a fancy party but I think I might shop around for some these chic one's so I can be a fashionisto/hipster.
Congrats, you might have unlocked a watch lover, it was only a matter of..... TIME

I know and you are totally right the Devon tread 1 is absolutely not clean. But that monstrosity as you call it is a totally different type of watch. More industrial as you might say. I have a (very) different standard for those kind of watches
You can't compare it with a classic watch imo. A classic watch imo needs to be as clean looking as possible without getting to minimalistic by removing the hour markers etc. entirely. Style above a mechanical engineering masterpiece imo. The Patek is more than likely a lot more accurate but if I have to choose between cleanness that has to be synchronized once every year or a more messy looking watch that will keep time running perfectly on the millisecond for the next 1000 years I know where my heart is.
So there you have it. My double standard. And I will keep it for the foreseeable future
