Do you remove your watch from your wrist throughout the day to admire its weight and build quality?

    I find myself doing this multiple times a day... as well as to take the occasional wrist shot. :)

    I bring a portable watchmaker's bench wherever I go so I can tinker at a moment's notice.

    I did that with this Caravelle back in 1965 when I was bored in Mrs. Kinney's 3rd grade class

    After walking for a while I do, but not no admire it. Wrist gets sweaty, so I unbuckle it to dry it for few seconds. I dont really look at them, but then again they are not Omega's so thats most likely why :)

    No, I don't.

    But I still like wearing one.

    The weight and build quality of my wrist is hardly something to admire.

    How many threads are you going to start to show off your watch? We get it! You now own a Chuck Maddox Grail.

    I hope you can understand my enthusiasm, as this has been a life-altering experience for me. I can barely contain my excitement!

    5-6 threads shows absolutely no desire to contain your excitement. I don't know about life-altering but it's definitely a bank account altering experience.

    I think he is post farming to get to 200 posts so he can sell the watch.

    Strongly disagree. I love it, so why would I sell it?

    As much as you appear to love it, may I suggest you two get a room?

    Why would you start 5 threads With the same watch?

    C'mon @efauser, cut a bit of slack.

    @OmegaRolex, maybe one thread ("I love my grail!") And just keep posting there?

    If it were 18K gold and one of these, I would understand.

    Otherwise, I don't get it.

    While we admire your love of the watch. You have been a tad over enthusiastic over it and creating a bunch of posts over it. This makes you a low hanging fruit to make fun of. It's a great watch and many of us would love to add a grail to the collection, but just temper your posts a bit.

    I was new here recently also finding this after I got my speedmaster "Yeman". People here want posts that add to knowledge, you need to ask yourself is this post adding to knowledge or just meaningless. Be enthusiastic but be aware of your audience. :)
