Gents - this challenge was something special. So many of you shared stories that weren’t just about a watch… but about family, legacy, and meaning. Exactly why we do this. Now… for the winner 🥁🥁🥁 🏆 WINNER: @Jeffrey Plotka Jeffrey’s story hit deep because it was about an heirloom and a tradition that keeps getting passed down. The watch that started it all for him was a graduation gift from his dad — engraved: “To Jeff Love Dad.” It’s not even his usual style (thin, light, more of a dress piece)… but he’s kept it for 40+ years, still wears it on occasion, and still has it serviced. That’s respect. But here’s the real turning point: That watch taught Jeffrey what time really means — and what it means to carry someone forward. His grandfather gave his father a watch. His father gave him one. And Jeffrey has now given a watch to each of his boys. Even more powerful: when they get dressed up, all three of them wear Dad/Grandpa’s watches together — and those stories come back to life every time. @Jeffrey Plotka this is an incredible and inspiring story! And gents - keep these stories coming in the community feed. This is the good stuff!

They say a man never forgets his first real watch. It’s rarely about the price tag or the "prestige" - it’s about the feeling of weight on your wrist and the realization that you were finally keeping track of your own time. It’s the piece that transformed a watch from a tool into a milestone. Starting today, we’re kicking off a 7-day challenge to uncover the watches that sparked your "obsession". The Challenge: "The Watch That Started Your Journey" We want to hear about the timepiece that started it all. This isn’t necessarily your most expensive "grail" watch; it’s the one that carries the most history or story. Was it your first paycheck purchase? A gift for graduation? A family heirloom passed down by your father? Or maybe the rugged piece you saved for months to buy because it represented the man you were becoming. "What was the first watch that made you feel like the day didn't truly start until it was on your wrist?" HOW TO JOIN (Super easy) Drop your story in the comments under this post. Use this quick format: 1. The Watch: Brand and model (if you know it). 2. The Origin: How did it find its way to your wrist? (A milestone, a gift, or a hard-earned reward?) 3. The Meaning: What did that watch represent to you at the time? 4. The Legacy: Does it still have a place in your collection today? 5. The Visual (Optional): We all want to see the watch haha. If you still have it, drop a wrist shot or a photo in the comments with your story.

Good afternoon gentlemen. I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas Day. i am sure that some of you received some awesome watches from Santa this year. Please post a picture of what you received, what you like about it and why you think they selected that particular piece for you.

Just got this at a thrift store because I liked the look of it. Cost me $10. Have to adjust the band and add a battery. I like the design, although the crystal is a bit cloudy. Thoughts?
