Orient KILLS the Sunray dial. I was tickled to see that as the demo in the vid bc a blue Mako II actually *was* my first mechanical watch, bought along with a G-shock 5610U, both for about 220.00 USD. A couple years later, I've prbly spent that much on N@TOs... The "Mecha Armor" Ti mid kit for the G-shock cost more than the actual watch, 😂H well... 🤦🏼🤷🏼💸💸💸 Edit: "Sunday"/sunray
That isn't the original bracelet though. Have to admit mine has been on the original bracelet for less than a week. It's on a Miltat Rollball now. And the dial is breathtakingly beautiful indeed, depending on the lighting it ranges from almost black to vivid red.
There's also the case where the watch is just perfect for you. It become too precious for you to take it out everyday, so you justifies buying another watch as your "beater"
I am a victim of this specific disease , and I'm losing the battle , can't control myself , still finding really wierd reasons to buy new watch , recently bought a f 91w because my university exams were coming , yesterday bought a seiko gmt cause exams are over .
Dammit this is too true. My brand new, perfect, beautiful San Martin SN004-g V2 just came in and here I am two days later seeing what else is out there 😅
Don't sell if your a watch guy you can Never have enough. But there's no excuse to wear the same watch everyday. Cheap watch expensive watch they're all good.
My Casio Duro is doing a good job innoculatung me from the watch hordes, and appears to be working well. I got the model in two colors, and a dozen watch straps. Taking in the permutations, it's a lot of watch, even though the case & movement only numbers two.
My homemade Kamasu (Blue Ray2 modded with a saphire crystal) was my first automatic. Although I now have quite a few others and still thinks of excuses to get another, it still gets way more wrist time than any other.
@@michaelamundson4715 lol its tough to find any make of watch more durable than a g-shock. Did you modify it? WTF did you do to kill a g-shock? That's literally designed from the ground up to be tough and reliable.
True. I find cons for almost every watch that i bought. (After all they are mostly under 100 dollars) But the main reason that i want a new one is because i start to get bored so i want a new one . Plus the excitment of going to the shops, choosing, wearing (especially the first days or weeks) 😊
I don’t even have to make excuses, I just want another one because it’s fun… I already have a folder with my favorite Top 100 watches I would love to have. For sure I will probably never have them all, but still, regularly I do update this list by adding new ones I love, and therefore forcing myself to remove the ones I do like the least… by the same time, making my list reflecting better my top choices… which becomes my purchase list once I have the money, one step a the time.
I bought the PRX months ago for an important anniversary and I haven't worn it yet. The 40mm in that application is too big IMO, doesn't look as classy as it's supposed to be! 😫
I have yet to experience this feeling with the Black Bay. Sure, I might wear other watches based on my mood or the occasion, but the BB remains my favorite watch in pretty much every aspect.
I buy a new watch with every milestone I reach in my life. It started with my first degree from college and then first real job, first home bought, etc…
Yeah I have a watch coming for Christmas and I am already looking at new ones. I am really interested in a PRX or an Alpinist. Feel like they’re staples.
“The blue dial is slightly too blue” makes me laugh😂. I got similar experience. After that, I look for a watch with grey dial. You know what? This time the grey dial is slightly too grey. Looks for a blue dial again.
I got the bug, BAD! Lol! Bought one of my grail watches, recently (Omega Speedmaster) it scratched the itch deep! For about 3 weeks before I started looking at more watches 😂
This happened to me. As a student in a third world country buying a watch worth 90$ is a big thing. Even though its a way out a student’s league i bought it. But suddenly realized there is another one which is too good. Whole day just looking at the other watch. I think this is what causes unhappiness. Always thinking others have it better rather than appreciating what i have. We should strive to be better but appreciate what Allah gave us in the current situation. Alhamdulillah
The worst mistake is to get a nice expensive watch that is well built, in my case a Rolex datejust 2021 straight from the AD. I had my Rolex along with Tissot, longines, oris, Casio and others, immediately i started noticing the difference in the quality of clasp, bracelet, winding feeling and bezel action, everything else felt like a toy and I am now on my 5th Rolex waiting for the sixth one.
I ran with only 1 watch for many years, and then two watches for many more years, and then after i got my first Swiss auto, seems like I jumped to 6 watches overnight. Damn you Nico…
Started with 2. One casual, one dress. Now I'm up to almost 16 watches. Lol. My bank and credit cards both even froze my accounts thinking i was being scammed. Lol. I absolutely understand this bug. Lol
I just need one watch in each category (or two for dress watches): Dress watch (one brown leather strap one black) Beater/Digital watch Dive watch Field watch
I've been "sober" for seven years and counting 😊, so I haven't bought a timepiece since 2017. I have two watches in my current rotation: an Omega (GADA watch) and a Tag Heuer (racing chronograph).
Let's be honest, when we buy a watch, we're making a compromise over another watch we really wanted too. So we'll just get that one later. But in doing so, another catches our eye; and so on.
You never leave that place of wanting to buy a new watch. As you get older and your taste becomes more refined, the gaps in between buying watches just get further apart because you know what you want.
my day date, vintage datejust, Tissot PRX, Swatch morning dew and seiko speedmaster 7a28 701a never looked bad to me, in fact, I look all day at it and over time I like them more and more. While collecting you will find the right ones, took me about 15 years and over 80 watches to find out what I liked the most
Currently on hiatus from buying more at 13 watches. planning to buy more, much much more. Not ashamed, just guilty because I'm too broke for this hobby and yet i persist to buy more. I would probably, maybe, perhaps stop if i own my grails (GS RefSBGA211G, JLC reverso, PP Ref5205G annual calender, Rolex deepsea challenge Ref126067, Omega seamaster Aquaterra, VC Ref30020 and way more) not sure these are attainable in a single lifetime but i will get there one way or another because the goal is "One case, One brand" (the case is 18-slot btw). P.S Before anyone says anything, no i will not sell any of my watches to make room, I will make room to make more purchase
ill be honest, i got an alpinist for my master's (my 4th watch) and i dont think i can find anything wrong with it. it def feels like the perfect watch
Total opposite for me, I keep finding out things that I just love about my watches. I also am super meticulous before I purchase but I just keep falling in love with the watches that I own
Spot on.. Bought a bunch have hyped and must have watches, from a prx to a speedmaster and some Rolexes.. I figured out I need mostly a watch on the tenniscourt both for supersticious mental support and just knowing how long you have left before you have to give up the court to the next one or to track some practice exercises.. Seems I am now collecting quartz tissot chrono sportwatches with different strap colors to match my outfit.. How ridiculous is that.. Now I left the t-race watches and wear mostly 2 prs516's which I bought new at a discount 😂 they match everything and I dont have to worry that the movement in an omega seamaster will be scratched while playing with it.. 😵
Ayayaya. . . I just bought my first Automatic, A timex, I hate the strap color, as it was too dark. I bought a new strap, likes it for first week. but still looking at online stores every night. Poverty banned me from buying new ones
For me it’s not even something that I find so called “wrong” with the one I just bought. It’s just the simple fact that i simply just WANT another watch lol
We musicians call this GAS. Gear acquisition syndrome. I have 9 basses at the moment, but only play 2 of them. I am careful of what i but though. I always make a profit on the re-sale.
The bug can be cured with poverty😂
Atta 😂
Barely
and by being grateful and content 😂
Then Casio comes into play and you end up having a gshock, Casio royale, f91w, sapphire and who knows what else xD
You would think poverty would take care of it. But I have found some truly amazing Swiss vintage watches at thrift stores. The bug continues. 😂
The red dial of this Orient is really beautiful.
Yes, I need it too!

That bug is easily cured when you have a small wrist and all the divers and chronographs never comes at your preferred size

Hey and we're going into a new year and that's a must have reason for a New watch
@ryderlayne6178 yup gotta get a casio ca53 thats the next one on the bucket list 😁
Damn, that's as bad as taking a shot before, during, and after work, to prepare, enjoy, celebrate, sleep, and forget.
It's still cheaper than a Girlfriend or a Wife or both......
I feel personally attacked right now
Dammit this is too true. My brand new, perfect, beautiful San Martin SN004-g V2 just came in and here I am two days later seeing what else is out there 😅
Thinking like this, I bought 7 watches in the last year. And now I have been using Casio A158 uninterruptedly for 3 weeks. It was my 3rd wristwatch
Sell em

@@MissPYT78 that's how it goes 😅 enjoy
Nope. I loved my Regatta the moment I saw it. And it was half price on clearance so I couldn't resist. I've been wearing it for four months.
Had one watch for 11 years, and it finally died. Tried to buy the same one, and it's discontinued. Settled for another similar cheap watch. Am happy.
New to the watch game over here. Whats the reference number of that alpinist? I really like the dial color but can't seem to find it anywhere.
It's the 2021 European edition
I bought one and didn’t realize it had a tiny scratch. Now it’s bugging me a lot

Some justifications there I haven’t thought of , thanks for the tips .
Plot twist: This shorts isn't about watches

Just when I was in 12 steps away from BAG rehab...I'm now addicted to watches
