GQ: How to Buy a Watch Guide

Just stumbled upon this. In typical fashion mag style, some of the 'facts' are rather dubious but a pleasant read nonetheless.

I like how they quickly dismiss German watches, when Lange is right up there with Patek, VC, and AP.

Good find, though

It was a nice article. Although, when I saw the Damon Dash section and picture, I started laughing. I especially love how they quote him saying the word "ain't". The one thing I can say is at least the watch was not blingy like the stuff I normally see rap artists and executives wear.

Interesting, thank you

Cheers
