·Came across this article, it is pretty delightful to see that female collectors are also on the rise. https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/03/08/fashion/watches-women-collectors.amp.html

·If it was to be left to my spouse, she wouldn’t be a watch collector. But she now has a dozen or so, of which she has two or three favourites. These are all watches I have collected for her.

·The thing that bugs me about the current discussion/fascination about women watch collectors is that to a person, almost all of them emphasize that they're not interested in "women's watches" but want men's watches, like you can't be taken seriously as a woman in watch collecting if you're not interested in watches over 38mm😒

·Glad to see sexism is still alive and well in OF too. 🤮
Substitute it with a man presenting all the expensive watches his ex girlfriends gifted him and calling himself a “watch collector”... same 🤮

·If that's all you got from her interview, that speaks volumes about you.
We don't denigrate male collectors who keep watches they got from their fathers/uncle's/grandfather's/wives. If a collector enjoys their watches and wants to share and discuss them, why does the source matter?

How many true collectors male or female resent that their watch has to be wound? I can go on...

Regardless of your position, I don’t think treasured heirlooms, inheritance, nuclear family and loved ones fall into the same category as ex boyfriends.

Gatekeeping much?
Dunno about you, but I'll take a good ex-boyfriend over an abusive blood relative any day of the week

·It’s someone talking about watches, their sex doesn’t need to come into it.
Also who the hell gave them to them, mother, father, uncle, auntie, boyfriend, girlfriend or the Easter bunny.
Read a thread have your view, but the minute you comment expect to get called out for it.
They are not men’s watches, they are watches just bigger watches. Who wrote a rule on what men and women can wear.

·I was going to contribute further to this thread, but I see it has degenerated into a sexist pissing contest. Too bad!

·Who’s talking about gender here? The video series is predicated upon “interviews w/ notable watch collectors,” that presumably have a passion for watches. The video does not truly encapsulate what I would consider a passionate collector (notable at best). That’s the personal opinion I was expressing. I don’t care about gender or race. I’ve had the same feeling about male featured guests on dink videos or podcasts (eg James Marsden).
I have been given many ties, belts, by coworkers, friends family, etc but I’m not a tie or a belt collector.
