These days, when a glance at your phone tells you what you wanna know, watch-wearing seems to be fading more and more into obscurity. Save for those perhaps who just wanna show off their diamonds.

I love watches. Especially mechanical ones.
Diver watches in particular hold some kind of power over me.
So yeah, another long shot: anyone reading this into watches / watch collecting?

This nice fellow on my latest surgical team wore a Rolex Sea Dweller (not sure if it was the Deep Sea version). He told me his story about acquiring it, and thinking about such things helped me pass the the hours with their glacial pace.

I’ve considered a Rolex for a while. I’m leaning toward the Submariner “Hulk,” but the rerelease of the GMT II Batman and the new Rootbeer make it kinda hard to decide. Then there’s the Omega Speedmaster moon watches which make a nice ‘my first spenso watch.’

Here’s a really nice explanation of the rise in luxury watches:

Those two—the AP Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus— also happen to be tied for my all time favorite watch. Just kinda lame I won’t be able to afford them until I’m like, some famous hypeman or sexual roleplay costume and props CEO.

Those watches are *so* dreamy.
