Spring Drive? I think this is my next addition!

A few years ago I saw a "selfie" of a guy from the UAE with his Richard Milie and 991 ...car and watch, same price
'Below is my Omega cron watch...I've been meaning to check the 991 speedo with it.

Never heard of a Snowflake before your post, it’s a cool watch, the spring drive is really nice. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/gr...owflake-review

Virtue signal much?
Personally, I like how this started as a T bash thread, and then lots of cool watches are getting posted up... But I guess that's because I'm white and Anglo... Who knew?

​​​​p.s. Horology and love of watches aren't racial issues. Let's not make them one...

I have quite a few and very rarely do other people even notice them. I tend to prefer watches the mainstream watch fanatics ignore. Never been a fan of Omega or Rolex. Which is fine cause I wear them for me...not to impress. I am being sarcastic by the way with what is below:

Filson Journeyman (working the trails watch - takes a beating)
Sinn 903 ST (a wanna-be Brietling Navtimer, but quite frankly it's a nicer quality build and not as pretentious IMO)
Alpina Avalanche Extreme (when I feel like I need to work the forearm muscles, i.e., it's huge and heavy)
Alpina Pilot Startimer Chronograph (2)...helps to have a spare when the battery runs out on one of them
Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL (white face) - they sponsor Christophorous so respectable p-car owners MUST OWN ONE!
Seiko automatic Day, Date...ancient watch from my Dad, inherited after he passed, i rarely wear it for sentimental reasons.

On order is my 1st Dive Watch...a Helm Khuraburi.
