The midsize is perfect

But what’s really blowing my mind is that this is a niche community, and a handful of us have the same indie domestic defense contractor surplus watch; Maratac isn’t a well known brand. 🤯

If we all had Submariners or Daytonas, that would make sense in a watch community, but not something as obscure as this

So, my guess is we're a very practical group. We're here (nostr/bitcoin) because it just makes sense. These watches are all very practical and functional tool watches - they're also more affordable than a Submariner.

Speaking for myself, I'm a tool watch guy. I have the money to splurge, maybe one day I will, but these watches look great, function great, and are inexpensive. Personally I like unbranded, clean looking gear (a throwback to a former life having only 'sterile' gear). I don't like glitz, chrome, gold, diamonds, or watches with a white dial (EVER!).

I would love to learn more about how each of us ended up choosing these particular watches - as you said it's a very niche selection. Fascinating.! THIS is how you know you've found your tribe!

You can play this game at any level.

I’m equally happy to discuss Patek, Journe, or G Shocks

I remember discovering the maratac from the EDC community, which lead me to County Comm

My pilot was their first, I believe, but they improved it over the years.

and there's the beautiful thing about the watch community! Talking of pilot watches, here's a design I made for Prometheus that was about to go into production but didn't quite make it 😢 #watchstr

Reminds me of the Laco

Lots of different influences. Nothing is 100% unique these days, due to unintentional biases.
