[Discussion] Hot take: If G shocks existed 75+ years ago, all the pilots, divers, and astronauts would have used them instead of Daytonas/Speedmasters/Submariners in c/watches@style.land

This is mostly in jest, but if people really wanted to emulate those Apollo astronaut icons, they would choose the most practical options which would be quartz watches, not mechanical watches

But emulating them would mean that they should get exactly/as close to what they actually used though right? That would be the Speedmaster.

Its not emulating them if you choose something they didn't use.

I think the Petronas formula 1 IWC watches look ridiculous.
