Mayors in Alpharetta? I tried on a Snowflake here...so SHINY!!!!!TheJohnP wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 6:34 pm After I got my first COVID vaccine shot yesterday, stopped by the only listed Grand Seiko AD in the state.
Liked seeing so many GS with my own eyes (So SHINY!!!!), but did feel a little guilty wasting the salesperson's time. As I've no plans to ever drop that kind of $$$$ on a watch.

Re: True Confessions
Yup. Felt too self conscious to try any on. But so different from online pics. They catch any and all light.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Unless they had tons of customers waiting, I wouldn't feel bad at all.TheJohnP wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 6:34 pm After I got my first COVID vaccine shot yesterday, stopped by the only listed Grand Seiko AD in the state.

Best time to try them on!

Re: True Confessions
As my collection stands right now, I don’t have more than one watch from any single brand. Weird.

Re: True Confessions
I garden sometimes barehanded with a not so cheap watch on my wrist, mainly because I was not planning on any extensive work, but invariably it turns into one.

Re: True Confessions
I charge the lume on the watch I'm wearing while I get the kids ready for bed, so that I have a full charge when putting them to sleep.

Re: True Confessions
I gave my gf my 36mm Eterna as a sort-of boyfriend watch, and I enjoy looking at it on her wrist more than I did on my wrist. On my wrist I was always: "Nice watch," where on her wrist I'm like: "Wow -- nice watch!"

Re: True Confessions
My "collection" of watches has become nearly unmanageable. There's just too many. So it's time to pick up the pace of selling. And yet there is really only a small percentage of my watches that I'm readily willing to part with. This is going to be harder than I thought. .....I'm absolutely pathetic.
Beyond the problem of having too many watches, I also have way too many watches boxes in my house. It's actually a major factor in the decision to accelerate the selling. So If I never get another watch box again, I'd be absolutely delighted. I'd love if I could just get a small travel pouch, a canvas roll, or even nothing.........nothing but a watch and a strap/bracelet with every purchase from here on out.

Re: True Confessions
Now that I live alone I don't wash my colander after draining my pasta -- I just dry it in the rack and put it away.
On the watch box question, I believe the G-Shock tin is a good solution since it can double as a stout watch roll.

I have always wanted money spent everywhere other than watch boxes because I have too many and don’t look at a single one.yinzburgher wrote:My "collection" of watches has become nearly unmanageable.

Re: True Confessions
Not enough confessions in the last year. I’ll list mine.
I don’t care for silver dials. I’ve owned two and they didn’t last more than a few weeks.
Round hour endices. Not even on a Rolex sub! My Steinhart titanium has them but it’s a keeper in spite of them.
…. Next.
