I spend if I have the saving or cash at hand Doc, and that savings is at a different country for a reason, so I can't touch it and think hard hehehe.

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

Get a paper towel and spray it with alcohol or any disinfectant. Then use that paper towel to wipe your watch.

won't alcohol damage the stainless steel surface of the watch in the long run? hindi ba ma-alter ang luster niya?

It’s just wiping and not soaking. I guess stainless steel will be resistant enough to such things.

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.

The Aquis is a nice watch Sir, esp with the GMT function.
Problem with that watch is yun strap is integrated so you’ll have to buy from them.
But this is a good value for money timepiece. [emoji1417][emoji4]
