how do you disinfect your watches?
i've been using my good ole resin timex watch whenever i wander into the apocalypse because it's easy to sanitize. i just include them in my hand washing procedure w/o fuss.
in the meantime, my stainless steel watches have been relegated to the watch box because i've read somewhere that the "veerus" tends to survive up to 3 days on them - just like on plastics. but of course, my banged-up timex plastic watch can be left anywhere w/o worrying much about its fate.
btw, astig nung reverso ni bro rd81![]()

During this lockdown period a watch winder could come in handy especially those that uses 3 or more watches in rotation.
Look at this new Oris, the Aquis GMT Date. It’s just a beauty!

What are your "grail" watches?
I only really have 3 - Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Submariner, IWC Pilot.
Not sure when I'll get the Sub (preferably Date ceramic, but an older model will do if it comes at a good price) or the Pilot Mark XVIII (or any blue-faced Pilot at 40/41mm) - as much as I love these watches, it's hard to prioritize them over more important things like travel, investments, and real estate.

I have 6 for now and i already own 1, my yachtmaster. It's the ultimate bling watch for me. Very 80s.
The other 5 would be the following in no particular order.
IWC Pilot Chronograph or Mark series
Panerai Luminor - no particular model. Ang gulo ng labeling nila.
PP Aquanaut
Rolex Daytona white gold with blue dial
Rolex DD40 in yellow gold
And yes, i have to agree with you na we have other priorities now. [emoji17]
Soon though. [emoji38]

Isn’t it fun collecting? The thrill of buying and flipping is part of that journey. Of course, I will not hesitate though getting any of the grails if the opportunity presents itself.
The Moonwatch is the easiest one to acquire among the grails so I might go for that.

Do you guys want or need your grails to be brand spanking new? Or is pre-owned fine with you?
Personally, i don't mind buying it pre-owned basta alam kong alaga and rarely worn by the first or second or third owner.

At first it was fun trying out different stuff. But when I realized the watches I really like, there's no thrill settling for other pieces anymore.
I'm at that stage where I'd rather have 1 decent watch than many so-so watches, would only buy if it's another one of my grail watches.Definitely prefer pre-owned. Just too much depreciation to take in when buying new (except if it's a Rolex or PP). Same principle I have for cars - secondhand unless it's free brand new.
