Anson Belt & Buckle: Step up your belt game — get 2 bonus pieces FREE with the Box Set at http://ansonbelt.com/douglove
Some watches we love because we chose to. Others we love because the watch world told us to, and we quietly went along with it. This one is about the second kind, the pieces the community has collectively agreed are wonderful, worn more in comment sections than on wrists.
I go through eleven of them and try to work out where the genuine affection ends and the performed affection begins, from the bulova lunarpilot that never quite fits anyone's wrist to the tudor submariner people buy specifically so they aren't buying a rolex. Some of these are watches I own. One of them is the watch I'd actually buy, which makes admitting all this a little awkward. Fair warning, the comment section is not going to enjoy all of it.

00:00 Why we love the watches we're told to love
00:26 Bulova Lunarpilot
01:47 Rolex Explorer I
04:40 Patek Philippe Nautilus
05:39 Doxa Sub 300
06:29 Brew Metric
08:01 Tissot PRX
09:03 Kuoe Old Smith
09:40 Vintage Tag Heuer Formula 1
10:42 G shock
11:29 Seiko 5
12:14 The Tudor Submariner
This one runs through the watches everyone seems to agree are great, the Bulova Lunarpilot, the Rolex Explorer 14270, the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the Doxa Sub 300, the Brew Metric, the Tissot PRX, the Kuoe Old Smith, the vintage Tag Heuer Formula 1, the Casio G Shock, the Seiko 5 and the Tudor Submariner, and asks whether the love is real or just inherited. If you have ever wondered why certain watches get praised more than they get worn, this is that conversation, with a few affordable watches and a few holy trinity pieces both getting the same honest look.

I agree about needing to see them in person.
