The questions given was interesting.
I had fun time writing the answers down. It was past midnight i remember but i don't feel bored or sleepy at all !
This week's posts... I was going to try and rush a 'First Impressions' post on the new Monaco using the leaked render as a reference, but decided against it. Just as well, since it looks a lot different. Highlight of the week has to be Otto's interview...

Enjoyed reading the 'on a budget' feature. Spot on realizing that it does not have to be expensive to be something you love and enjoy!
I agree. Especially the opening. 😁
"what the hell am I supposed to spend my money on?" 😲
You go, Bro !😉
Thanks guys, I am by no means rich, some of the other member's collections blow my mind, but I did marry early and no longer have a mortgage! 😀
But seriously, a lot of people can't or don't want to spend silly money on watches, and there's no reason they shouldn't be able to enjoy this hobby too. We all have our level, better to stay in your price bracket and enjoy your watches rather than get yourself in debt. The other way of looking at this is you could say, I could sell all my pieces and buy one Royal Oak, or three high end Carreras... but a lot of the fun for me is switching watches every day and not least chasing down and owning a wide variety of watches from TAG Heuer's history. This way is possibly more expensive more repair bills, more batteries etc... but I wouldn't change it now.
Hear hear. I consider myself well off, but I'm probably not in comparison to many members of the luxury watch community. Although I could afford it, no way would I consider chunking £5k on a new watch as it represents a massive % of my accessible savings. There is plenty of value to be had, though, in the used market on toady's lesser regarded pieces. The important thing is to do what you want, and not treat this as a form of online competition. For me, I'm getting huge enjoyment from my current watches which all cost me less then £3k - in my opinion, the Tudor BB58 at £2,600 is the bargain of the century and makes watches like the Monaco at £5k look hideously overpriced. It's a shame, though, as I have a lot of love for Tag Heuer, their designs, racing history and so on. Still have my Carrera reissue, though. 😀
I was on target to go for one of these Monaco special editions, then I decided to retire in January so my pocket money took a hit big time, maybe for the best because one of the five might not have satisfied me. Really I should be happy with my wee collection but I must be part magpie, OOOOOH shiny things, I want.😉😉😉😉😉
A good read. Keep them coming.
Will we get an interview with the legendary @Calibre11? Would be nice to know more about the man behind the site, how he got into watches, what made him start the site etc 😀
Already done, along with Mspeedster, Mr Orange, Albert AMG and Pitfitter446!
Also waiting for responses from Hubert, Yago, Remo, El Matariffe...
