I’m sad to say I’ve decided to close this instance down. It was a fun experiment for a couple months, but there’s little engagement here and sites like WatchCrunch already exist.

I’m on there regularly and it’s great, I’d strongly suggest you sign up if you’re interested in the social side of watch collecting.

This instance will cease to exist on 25th Jan.

I don't think I'll ever buy a luxury watch, but if I ever did, I think this #Omega would probably be my grail.
Are Luxury Watches Worth It?

Both luxury and affordable watches tell the time to a similar degree of accuracy. So are they luxury watches worth it?

So I recently discovered WatchCrunch. Not sure there’s a need for this Masto instance now? There’s so much more more discussion on there.

WatchCrunch – A home for watch nerds.

WatchCrunch is a place for watch lovers to discuss, share, learn, and geek out about watches. Like you, we LOVE watches! We believe watch discussions should be fun and inclusive, not snobby and intimidating, so whether you're a seasoned veteran of the watch world or an absolute beginner, come join the conversation.

Today’s #WristCheck is my DW290, AKA the Mission Impossible watch. I’ve never actually worn this one as I don’t really like it. I only bought it because #Casio have stopped making it, so thought I’d pick one up.

On the wrist it’s not too bad though.

Happy Christmas, Gift for you @cg, zoom in :-) #pixelfun #BackToTheFuture Only made with Back To TheFuture trailer frames.

#Christmas #WristCheck new #Citizen watch for me. On the larger side of what I can pull off, but I love it.
