There’s practically no difference between most watch enthusiasts and teenagers nerding out over horsepower and 0-60 times

Spend any amount of time in watch subreddits and you’ll witness one topic being discussed over and over - which watch has the best spec sheet for the price: movement, crystal, thickness, finishing, lug-to-lug, etc.

Watches, like cars, are emotional purchases (at least for enthusiasts) and yet both communities obsess over spec sheets. I don’t care if my watches are ‘the best’ / ‘one of the best’ in terms of value, I don’t want to wear a watch that looks like a hundred others (any black diver or field watch, for example), or a watch I don’t love just because it has an amazing price/specs ratio.

Just my two cents…
