I am heading on a solo trip to NYC on June 10-13. Mo plans, no agendas no worries! Looking for watch related things to do. I already plan on going by the NYC Horological Society. And to stroll through the diamond district. Any small old school watch shops anyone can recommend? I like older quirky stuff. Odd complications and such not big brand names. Suggestions?

Today I headed out to another Car Boot Sale in search of bargains. I thought it portentous to wear my fake Tudor 1926, as I bought it at a Car Boot Sale and so today it’d serve as a cautionary example. I saw a couple of obviously fake watches (a Rolex Sea Dweller and a Patek Phillipe ladies watch). Neither of them were anything close to the standard of my fake Tudor. I also saw a nice Pagani Design Watch for £25, but I didn’t go for it as I learnt that I’m not really a homage brand collector. It just didn’t call to me. (I did see an army of fake perfumes for sale, which is always hilarious.) So, a cheap trip for me. Every day’s a school day!

Black panther representing again. This beauty continues to impress, just a really well made watch.
