Blackwings and Watches

[rubberduck]

Different strokes.

The main difference between a nice mechanical watch and an Apple Watch is that in 2 years one will be in a landfill and the other will be on a wrist and maintain its value.

Another main difference is the history of the watch makers and the watches. Some of these companies have been making watches for 175 years. That’s hard to fathom in today’s world where companies come and go in an instant. It’s fairly likely Apple will not be around in 100 years.

Isn't this whole forum about measuring what you have?

If that's really your reason for being here....ummm ok.

Isn’t this a Blackwang discussion forum?

It’s a car forum, why is anyone here? You are in here talking about your gumball machine watch and we are all talking about cars that are unnecessary luxuries.

Sorry I had to spell your hypocrisy out for you…

I'm here to learn more about my Blackwing and to discuss issues, likes, dislikes, etc. Anyone here to make themselves feel special that they have a Blackwing should take it to another forum where they don't have Blackwings and brag about how awesome you are over there as you are in the company of your peers here.

I have a few mechanical watches, but I've been wearing Apple watches for years now (including my current Ultra) due to their functional abilities that make my job/life easier. My mechanical watches sadly sit in my safe collecting dust. They are nice though.

Measuring my "wang" again! I like cars and watches, so why is that wrong?

Some people spend more money on experiences while others spend it on tangible items, nothing wrong with that.

Well shit, we might as well close this fucker down! We never can have any fun here.. Let me go back to the thread about not getting my Blackwing badge!

That really is where we should all be focusing our energy. Not getting my Blackwing badge yet has my life in disarray. I am having a hard time sleeping, I'm more grumpy around the house and at work, and I'm comfort eating more with junk food. I'm in a downward spiral. I need that badge to come soon before I gain 50lbs and my wife kicks me out of the house.

I'm so lost on this one! I actually don't even own a watch. I do spend alot of money on bourbon though!

+1 on all accounts. This is how I know when to be somewhere:

Here's my flex of the day...11 years old, never serviced and still keeps great time.

I started the thread. There was 0 intention of anything beyond Blackwing owners who also share a passion for watches to have 1 thread to engage. Nobody is bragging.

Sorry for those who seem to feel inadequate or take offense to discussing a related passion here. Many car enthusiasts are into watches, and I thought it might be a fun thread.

I took this pic as a goof a few years ago in my V3. Been wearing Swatches since the 80s. I don’t really wear this one much, I have a Shinola for a daily. I had a Monaco but I sold it. A Milgauss is my grail watch.

As @Tall Steve recently said, I’d like to start a collection to give to my son someday. I almost got an automatic Seiko for Xmas but I got some CF mirror caps instead

I would have posted some of mine but I've been driving the GTI and I did not want to pollute the thread with a pic of a VW steering wheel
