Most watches look better in picture. Went to windup and lemme tell ya, when you handle the “budget” brands you realize why they’re budget. Sharp corners, bad finishing, terrible tolerances in bracelets, etc. But sizing is a whole other animal. I finally got to check out some breitling/longines/that tier releases of the last couple years in person and they’re garish and cruder than I thought. Disappointment. I think they’re really hoping on a blind buy based on images and sizing. Most of these wear extremely poorly compared to 90s and 2010s models.
