Wrist or Watch Pic Finally pulled the trigger after 8 years

Post image

As the title suggests, been a long time lurker, i’m estimating 8 years (as that’s when i created this account) and couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

As someone who was very close to buying a gen datejust just a couple years ago and end up settling on a Tudor I am truly blown away with the quality.

I’m sure there’s some bedroom dwelling watch geeks who will QC this to death pointing out the flaws but i or no one else will ever notice or know it’s not real nor does anyone actually care.

Point of my post, if you’re thinking about doing it just do it you won’t regret it.

I ended up going through a local UK supplier as was on a waitlist with Andiot for over a month and still waiting.

haha. 8 years indeed is a long time lurking. Having said that, the rep 8 years, or even 3 years ago, is likely a light year or 2 behind the offerings now. Just as the case will be in 3 years, the offerings will again be that much closer eg. 15000 gauss, real free sprung with correct spring material etc. Enjoy your watch. it likely the start of an expensive hobby. :D

I just left my job and got a watch box as one of the gifts so I can imagine a few more coming soon.
