What time is it? Watches and horology

no @ me but

pre faded jeans rarely look as good as naturally faded and I have enough raw denim on rotation that I always have knackered/faded denim anyway

Also its a bit different with an item that is meant to last 100 years or so vs a consumable product like jeans.

Ha - no, I’m fully allergic to distressed denim and “relic’d” guitars as well. But then I'm not really attracted to vintage things in general, even genuinely vintage stuff. Not sure why, other than I know that some personality types are predisposed to tradition, etc., and some aren't.

I do like classic design though, which is probably why I seem to end up buying new versions of classics, at least when it comes to watches. Dunno, analyse that?

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I actually didn't register that the oris bezel was fauxtina, thought it was just a nicely chosen grey.

I much prefer a fauxtina than an actual patina watch that likely to be a little too delicate for daily wear.
