I'd rather buy a used DJ than that Omega

The Aquaterra is nicer too but 'eyes of the beholder'

How big, though?

It is 40 mm. But then so are my other three omegas 's. I feel that's the sweet spot for my 7 inch wrist.

Why not? It's fun. So is Richard Mille. So is a tourbillon flyback whatever.

Serious question.....

You win that watch in a contest. How many of you would rock it every now and then for kicks or even seriously?

 

[troika]

How many of y'all actually set the date every time you switch watches? I can't be bothered, and although I don't have one, I prefer watches with no date.

The words and emoji aren't for me, I'd choose different ones, but I'd love to see LOVE <3 and other fun things when looking down.

I want to know what other emojis they used. Better be eggplant, water drops, taco emoji in the list.

To each their own, for sure. I'm totally speaking only from my own perspective relative to lifestyle. "Fun" for me is a bit synonymous with "carefree" and I would never feel "carefree" wearing a particularly attention grabbing, full gold Rolex, an RM, etc. A fun watch _for me_ is something like a swatch, doxa, hamilton = cheap(er) end of the spectrum. I agree with Newc from a few posts back that these watches are sort of peak-level ironic flex vibes, but the "irony" isn't really fun or funny (again, in my eyes...).

Whenever they need some extra coin they “find” another couple vintage watches.

Are you serious? Like, EVERYTIME! You can't be bothered to SET A WATCH? Haha! Dude...

Hell yes. I’d absolutely wear it at least a couple times a month.
