Just to be clear, do you mean truly square or is rectangular also allowed?

[Question] Watch ideas for GF? Looking for a women's "Tank"-like watch in c/watches@style.land

[–] gumption_boy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Most tank watches come on a leather strap but they have square lug profiles, so if you find a watch you like it’s easy to buy pretty much any straight-endlink bracelet that you like

[QUESTION] What watches have the same styling as the all black marathon gpq 34mm but cost less money? in c/watches@style.land

[–] gumption_boy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Momentum Atlas 32mm is worth a look. Not a black case, but the grey solid titanium is pretty sharp. It's $185 instead of $240.

JLC needs to be in the same tier as Patek and Lange, I don’t care what anybody says

[Discussion] Will you switch from an expensive brand to a cheaper brand? in c/watches@style.land

[–] gumption_boy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Enjoyability is independent of price. Finishing, heritage, tolerances, complications - these are related to price. But when it comes down to “Do I like this watch and will I wear it?” - that’s unrelated to price.

[Discussion] What are your hot takes or opinions you haven't yet posted for fear of downvoting? in c/watches@style.land

My $200 quartz microbrand watch is more interesting than your Aqua Terra

[Discuss]Is there a watch you bought, sold, then rebought in c/watches@style.land

[–] gumption_boy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thinking about it with both the Khaki field and the Hemel air wing. Manual winds are my favorite watches, I still don’t know why I sold the two that I wore the most.
