IIRC he went from barely understanding why someone would get nice watches, to calling a hamilton a basic bitch watch, buying multiple hamilton watches and then buying his grail watch/quitting this thread in less than a year or so?
I've talked myself out of those PRX watches a few times already. I understand the allure.

Hahaha your recollection is fairly accurate. That's what happened I guess.
Wife and I have Hamiltons we got for our 20th anniversary.
Bought my daughter a Murph for high school grad.
Will be getting my son a Hamilton dive watch for his grad this year (crap...should probably get that ordered right away here).
And then, yes, bought an Omega Seamaster. I love it so much. I think I bought it in June 2023. I wear it every day. Sometimes I want to wear my Hamilton...but then I wear my Omega and tell myself I'll wear the Hamilton next week, but I never do.
I guess I'm not a collection guy. My Omega is all I need, but I'll never get rid of my Hamilton because I do love it and I love that my family all has Hamilton field watches.
A bit after I bonded with the Omega I deleted all my subscriptions to all the YouTube watch channels, unsubscribed from the subreddits and stopped looking at watches entirely. I'm a million percent happy with what I have and have zero desire for more or to expand into a full blown collection.
I did see a beautiful watch on an old guy in a restaurant in Canmore a couple months ago. I couldn't tell what it was, but on the way out I just told him I liked his watch and had been sneaking looks at it throughout dinner. He told me what it was and thanked me. I had never heard of the brand, but looked it up when I got home. $150k. Wow. Wish I could tell you guys what it was but my wife and I were pretty surprised at the price. Crazy thing is it looked worth it hah. Wasn't obnoxious or anything...just perfection.
