Couple weeks ago I stepped off the Flixbus wearing shorts, a t-shirt and for silly reasons a Patek Annual Calendar. White metal and leather straps: you’ll do perfectly fine.

In Singapore, you will be happy to see people just wear any watch they like in public, lot of local and tourist cartier santos, Rolexes,LV, hermes in public transport and street, even some have APs and patek on their wrist! And even almost every old people in chinatown wear rolexes especially gold/two tone datejust.

The movement looks amazing

I was in Lisbon for a few days this past June, and wore my JLC master chrono calendar. I don't think anybody knows what that is. But the thought is certainly always on the back of my mind. Last time I went to Milan, opted for an Auto Furlan Marri instead... it is sad though that this ideas should be entertained

Just visited Japan. Everyone was wearing everything. Next level. Safe place. Well done Japan.

It helps if you wear a long sleeve shirt….just a suggestion.

1916 company inventory is a fraction of what it was only a few months ago…obviously companies don’t want to carry too much inventory…..

Congratulations! It's also my desire to own one...with the same configurations as yours...for now still enjoying my all gold Rolex Datejust ' til I found one in the pre-owned market...very nice content.

With the Arken Alterum to change the strap to the adapter link, you "do not" knock-out the bolt. Behind the strap there is a small catch that you push away from the watch-head. Once it releases then you can punch the strap upwards... once you know how it's put together... it's easy to take apart.

I was at the Wind Up fair in San Francisco in May and the Ball watch reps were robbed at their hotel lobby. All 56 pieces were stolen.

An armed society is a polite society.

Sad commentary. Vote wisely. Note: it’s also driving - don’t hang your arm out if you have an expensive watch. World #10 Grigor Dimitrov had his Bianchet torn off his wrist - this Spring in Barcelona. 1st moped drives by and bumps the sideview mirror; when he stopped at the next light to realign it the 2nd moped pulled up and yanked it off.

Watches… but let’s talk about e-bikes or iPhones…. More theft.. more spread between haves and people for who that it’s to good to pass by. It’s also a “norm with certain youth groups” keeping you hands of other people’s stuff is less and less a thing it feels.

The English are left handed… I think you looked at the wrong wrists??

Why do you guys leave Nacho’s without a Fratello watch? Quit teasing him..

Went on vacation and wore a couple of Tudors the whole time. Not worried at all. You know which ones the thieves are targeting. Enjoy!

I see quite a few in nyc, especially Rolexes

I think I would be more concerned about carrying around an expensive camera in some sketchy parts of cities. Lots of apple and smart watches seen on people.

I see many more people wearing apple / smart watches nowadays

The one thing that strikes me is the abundance of smart watches! So many people have them (or no watch at all; they use their phone. Heathens!) I lived in Singapore for 13 years and could wear what I wanted, it was extremely safe. I'm now back in the UK and although I'll wear my high value watches in the small town I live or to attend events, I dress down my wrist when I travel to a large city. It's not worth the risk. But still, everywhere I go, the number of damn smartwatches amazes me! Who needs your wrist to remind you about emails?!

I see many, many nice watches here in miami, especially if it’s a district with a lot of restaurants. Design district, coconut grove, Brickell, Miami Beach, Wynwood. You see it all here

7:28 no, we don't chop hands off here.

The problem in many areas of London is the crime levels. I end up wearing a G-Shock for most places that I am going to.

You talk about seeing few watches on the streets (in London at least) but then talk about watches like ‘normal’ Speedmasters not being a big theft issue, so when you’re seeing fewer watches on the street do you mean you’re seeing fewer Rolex’s and AP’s, or are you also not seeing more ‘common’ OMEGA’s, Brietling’s, Tudor’s, TAG’s, etc? Just curious to know if you think people are hiding all decent mechanical watches (say, with a retail value of $1000 and up) whether or not they need to, or just the ones noted as probably bigger theft targets? Thx.

Imagine walking around a city carrying a huge wad of bills out in the open totaling $10k or 20k. How long do you think you will make it before someone robs you? This is essentially what people who are wearing a gold Rolex or Patek are doing. It is a reality every where and (imho) has *always* been a problem. In the past, if I visited Chicago or NYC (I grew up in NYC), my wallet goes into my front pocket and my watch will be a low or mid tier watch (and I will enjoy wearing it too!)

I was in Paris and London just last month and still felt like people were living their lives and wearing their watches. I ate dinner at St. Pancras across from a gentleman wearing a Datejust, watched a guy take off his Monaco and put it in a bin to get through security in Paris Gare du Nord, and saw plenty of Breitlings, Omegas, Tags, and Rolexes. I think all of our accounts lean towards anecdotal, so maybe there isn't as big of a difference because of the perceived safety aspect but rather a change in tastes?

I am on the Tram/streetcar in Zurich. The Gentleman on my left is wearing a Datejust, the older gentleman in front of me is wearing a Royal Oak. I would not have seen that during my time in Los Angeles. To me it sends the message that it is safe enough to do these kinds of things here.

How much?! LOL

Lawlessness not being punished in the western world is causing a lot of problems. It’s what happens when politicians are desperate for votes. The politicians have security escorts, while ordinary people don’t, so no consequences for the enablers.

Cash grab watch, hard pass.

Nice. Both the vid and the watches. Whether I think it tops a Breguet 5157 is up for discussion, certainly at this pricepoint, but I would not be hesitant to wear either colorway in gold. The meteorite, as ever, does nothing for me.

god i hate watches from fashion brands

Mine is SD red

Great review. How has the Hesalite crystal held up regarding scratches. I heard that Speedys are in general, real scratch magnets? Thanks!

Interesting design but for 29k I will put my money elsewhere.

Lovely attention to detail on these pieces. Would really like to see the meteorite dial one.

Not fan of the old school industrial design with screws everywhere: not so refined for a dress watch.

Junk. Stick to real watches please.

A watch has never gotten someone laid. Everyone here, including me, knows way too much about little clocks. That is not cool. This entire conversation is completely unfuckable

Just got mine. Spectacular piece

I’m wearing a 42 year old Seiko Speedmaster I bought new in 1982. I had it serviced in 2022 and it’s a beautiful watch. It is an early example of the 7A28 movement that was used in the Ripley and Bond watches. It is a piece of history.

nice video

My highest respect to Seiko for manufacturing basically everything in-house. This week I'm wearing my Seiko 5 (app. 100 EUR) and it is amazing how good the blue dial plays with the sunlight. If it would been 39-40mm instead of 37mm, I probably would buy a few additional variants.

ugly watch

At over 6' tall, 300lb and with an 8.5" wrist the watch that I've found fits best is the DeepSea SeaDweller

terrible

Picked up my 40mm Explorer this weekend after a six month wait, ready for my wedding in two weeks! Beautiful watch that I plan to daily

me too❤❤

🥵

I have been wearing mine since I was 30. Never too young
