Long time lurker first time poster on this thread.
When I first got a decent paying job after my PhD in 2012 or so, I went through a few luxury watches in quick succession – Explorer 1 (too small/plain), IWC Ingy Laureus (too dressy), some stupid Panerai (I do not have Sly Stallone’s wrists) and an Omega Seamaster Liquidmetal (actually wish I hadn’t sold that one).
Anyway, I then got a Tudor Ranger in 2015 – the first reissue with the open endlink bracelet, and that was it. It’s still my main watch. So sometimes you can get an exit watch.
All I’ve bought since then is a few GPS watches as my existing ones break, a second-hand Animal W002 identical to the one my cool GCSE geography teacher had, and a couple of G Shock 5600s that I sold when I realised I hate the little metal buttons.
