From the images posted, the Glashutte looks rather cheap.

The gold hands and numbers look shoddy and more appropriate on a $50 watch from a flea market.

Methinks modern watches are a bit too large to be Thom Browne-approved. '60s watches were relatively small in proportion to today's behemoths.


At the Black Fleece event he said that mine is "a great looking watch."

My circa 1949 18k Omega is 34mm and it's a nice size though for dressier watches, I feel 29mm is perfect.


Seriously, do you have the wrist of a woman?

From what I understand a bear is a homosexual man of the burly nature who is hairy.

Oh that would explain that. I stand (sit) corrected.

To fit the TB esthetic, shouldn't TB watches be so tight your hand turns black?

Neither. You're a fashionista. There should be your picture in wikipedia when someone searches this term

Why? Thom Browne suits aren't tight.
