The watches subreddit is very dangerous. After only a month of browsing, I bought my first serious watch: a Mido Belluna II Automatic. Pic of the skeleton case back after the jump:

No wonder there’s so much crossover between car people and watch people.

Me too. It became a requirement as soon as I realized that some of pieces I was considering had glass backs.

For real, this is why I don’t go on sneaker/shoe subreddits or watch subreddits. I know that I will lose all my money if I get a collecting hobby like that. I already “collect” car parts...

Exactly. There are already too many car parts that I want... and now watches too. Now that’s some r/firstworldproblems fodder right there

I’ve got a super old Mido Multifort somewhere that I’ll have to dig up. Still works (usually). Gorgeous.

yeah I’d be curious to see that! I like the newer Multiforts, cool color combos on the watch face without being too flashy

Looks a lot like this one I found on Ebay:

SO classy. Perfect patina too, not so much that it looks destroyed but just enough to be obviously vintage.
