Carry on wearing them wherever you want, just your minor horological trivia of the day. But by all means don't believe me, search YT for the dozens of vids saying the same thing.  Yes, I know that’s how “they” say you should wear a watch, but I simply cannot; I like my watch a bit loose. I have had no issues with any of my self winding watches, and all of them wear the same way on me. The crown never jabs into my hand, and I do shoot wearing any of my watches. |

Just say no to hand watches. It also stretches the bracelet out. |

Working on cars in the shop today, so wearing my shop watch: Victorinox Inox Carbon. Pretty tough watch. The forged carbon bezel and case hold up well to getting banged around, and the sapphire crystal has resisted scratching so far. Attached File |

This watch was given to me by may father, it was in really rough shape. 10 years ago site member @unreformed66 reconditioned and repaired it for me. Dad passed two years ago and I think about him when I use it.

I didn’t know they made smaller timepieces, I haven’t heard that name in ages. On the subject of Tudors, I really want to like them but I can’t get past that goofy looking hour hand. Which sucks because the Pelagos FXD GMT looks like the bees knees. Personal taste in everything I guess. I wore my Hamilton khaki murph 38 today:  |

I can tell what time it is at 3am without putting the lights on. With the seamaster I would sometimes come down at like 2:30 in the morning thinking it was just after 6
