Wristwatch Guilty Pleasures
Posted by The Breitling Source under Giuliano Mazzuoli , Graham[5] Comments
Time to come clean guys – who among us has a guilty wristwatch pleasure? Be it a closet crush on Invicta Wristwatches or a obsessive-compulsive need to scrub down your watch with simple green every night… I know we all have at least one Guilty pleasure to share.
Ever since I got into watches years ago, I have always wanted to broaden my horizons and allow myself to experience the strangest of watches, with little regard for common sense. I am attracted to watches that many find ugly or over-the-top. No, I’m not talking about the influx of Glam Rock watches that has hit ebay recently, which is no doubt the liquidated stock of many costume-jewelry retailers. I am talking about funky watches like Graham Chronofighters, Mazzuoli Manometros and Corum Bubble’s with Jolly Roger’s on the dials. These are the watches that WIS-types like us pretend to be above, but in reality, I’m not. I harbor closet desires to own and wear these watches! I have to admit it.
Here are a few of the Guilty Pleasure Watches that I have wanted or have already owned:

I wipe down my watches everytime I wear them. Everyone except my everyday piece. I also love the Corum Fighter Bubble. You cant blame anyone for thinking that some of Invicta’s designs are awesome!
