    This gentleman traded his ‘Starbucks’ Submariner in for that legendary Tudor submariner snowflake? Instant respect, cool points, and many kudos, good sir.

    I’m very happy to see Ben in this space. We kind of saw him grow in the watch space for the past couple of years. From “just a kid” trying to learn about watches and trade his way up to a green Submariner and now he is fully appreciating and teaching everybody else about vintage watches and value for money in the industry.
    Congrats to both of you!!

    Buy what you like is good advise, unfortunately, what we like is highly subjective and heavily influenced by social media. Great episode with reasonably priced watches.

      This is absolutely true. For a new collector your first 100+ wish lists are basically carbon copys of everyone elses current collections or wish lists. Individuality comes with experience.

      Simple answer. Stop looking at social media, then you can make your own mind up and to Hell with what others think!

    Nice to hear positive thoughts about Tudor. I’m a huge fan of many of their pieces and feel there is a strange hatred of the brand by many watch nerds.

      Probably the same people that call MGMT, management. Tudor is loved by non watch enthusiasts and has become mainstream as mainstream luxury watch can be. I appreciate Tudor though I don’t have one and I respect what they bring to the table at a price accessible by many

    In the future maybe avoid the word affordable. It shows how out of touch you are with the real world. There are a lot of folks who didnt grow upcin families with money or get paid new york salaries, that collect watches. For some to even buy a 1000 dollar watch is an achievement and a luxury. In other words you look pretty pretentiousness here. Theres nothing wrong with saying great sub 3k watches or something of the like.
