I found this budget Citizen in a drawer the other day. I used to wear this decades ago.

Sweet! I have 3 CWs; they're amazing for the price.

Vacheron Constantin put 41 complications into a reasonably sized wristwatch.

Hmmm. Something’s missing.

I wonder how much a service is on that.

I wonder how much a service is on that.

I would love to be so rich that I could buy this, wear it for a year to piss off collectors, then go the Vacheron Constantin factory in person to drop it off for service. It would probably take them six months to get it apart and put it back together.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/style/watches-and-wonders-2025-striking-designs/index.htmlCNN has more images from the big watch show in Geneva. Check out this Rolex. Given how simple it is I can probably afford it but there will be an eighteen month waiting list to buy one and I kind of want a Rickenbacker 4003 right now.

Arrived yesterday. It is very pretty and comfy. No regrets.

I know what time it is, but another forumite wondered if it was 2:17.

In a better world, all time would be 4:20.

That same forumite was wondering if you were waiting for your custom big hand and little hand.

He was a bit of a caveman. He then said, "guitar bird bad! Watch bird good!".

It's not 2:17?

I'm a bit of an idiot, so I have no idea what time that watch shows -- or is it (I guess this question is really for Flamencology) actually a watch that shows what phase the moon is in?

I am a simple man with a simple watch. I had a Timex manual wind that was even simpler, but it broke two years ago.

This one forumite I was talking to felt that Flamencology views numbers and obvious big hands and little hands on a watch, much the same way he views fretboard dots. If you must, a notch on the side of the neck will suffice.

This same un-named forumite took a guess that the bird closer to the outer diameter of the watch, represents the big hand.

This guy once borrowed a compass from Flamencology:

Juicy, behind the scenes, gossip regarding watches and time. It does not rise to the level of John D MacDonald's book, The Girl The Gold Watch & Everything, nor even the cheesy movie staring Robert Hays and Pam Dawber. Oh well.

Even birds and moons can be right twice a day. ️
