Thanks for your worry Stewart. Truer words would be difficult to speak.

: As for a hipster watch.. I think this could be the criteria..

: 1. quirky

: 4. Either a bright multi-coloured nato or 3in wide 'cuff' strap.

Stewart,

I am totally with #4, but I am not sure about the rest. I am not sure I feel very good about the judgment of another vintage watch fanboy who assures me that my Zenith triple date is not a hipster watch. Maybe you are just trying to reassure your self? You have calmed me down a bit though. I am backing away from the window. I guess I would have to jump up out of the window anyway as I am in the basement as I type this.
