I fancied a Mondaine automatic Swiss Railway watch for ages, and a couple of months ago managed to find one st the right price. I wear it quite frequently, but am unsure of whether I want to keep it or not.

Don't get me wrong, it is very nice, however due to the size of it, the crown keeps rubbing the bottom of my hand and leaves a red indentation there. My Tissot Visodate is smaller and doesn't have this problem.

What does PH think? Do I put up with it, or should I sell up and add some more money to the Omega fund?

I've started wearing my watches a little higher on my wrist - above the wrist bone. Maybe that's the answer?

I came to the conclusion that it's easy to waste a lot of money on crap watches.

Sell it and put all your money towards the watch you really want.

I got lucky and stopped buying st early on, ended up with a g shock, a citizen atomic clock, and a JDM Seiko. Realised these cheaper watches although good were not what I wanted. So I saved hard and bought a Rolex explorer, sold that and for my Tudor pelagos. Happy ever since.

You can only wear one at a time, other than a g shock for battering, it's the Tudor every day.
