·When it comes to journalistic opine on watches, I always take them with a grain of salt. Ultimately it’s all about a particular watch singing to you, connecting to your inner passion. It can never be truly objective in collecting watches, cause how many watches do we really need? It’s always the stories and the emotion that gives more value for me rather than the pricetag itself. That is where Hodinkee marketed itself to where it is right now. I’m not really a true fan of Hodinkee, but you have to give them credit for making LVMH take a second look. If there’s one thing I’m a true fan, it’s right here at home, Calibre 11 😉

·I'd rather read a "conflicted" Hodinkee article than an "independent" ABTW article every day of the week.

·Is it like Richemont buying Watchfinder? 😕
Although to be fair, they still reviews all sort of watches including Tag Heuer, in a good way i must say.

·You got a point about Watchfinder.
The only change I noticed was their prices going through the roof.
Hodinkee's prices couldn't really get much more expensive!

·Why not?
I just prefer some of the other blogs such as Monochrome, for example.
I do occasionally speed read articles on ABTW though.

·When I go to these watch sites, (Hodinkee, T&T, ABTW, WT, Monochrome, etc) I just type in the search function, “TAG Heuer”. And that’s just all what I basically read in them 😁
Other brands doesn’t really interest me, so I don’t bother reading the other articles 😜

·I don't particularly read any of them anymore, do any of them offer actual opinions or are they all just reciting the press releases? I mean, there's a difference between giving out the need to know details like sizes, power reserves etc and just literally copying and pasting from the official PR. Otherwise you might just as well look at the brand's websites.
I remember QP (RIP) calling out TAG's bullshit carbon dial Aquaracers for example.

Mmm, normally I would agree with you - but not in this case. Horrible printed 'fake' carbon dials that looked like newspaper print... poor show. I know the carbon dials on the new F1 isn't carbon, but it's worse to put fake carbon in a watch that has an actual carbon bezel and call it a carbon Aquaracer!
