Do you continue your honeymoon with your newest acquisition? Should you dig out an old favorite you’ve ignored for too long? What about matching your watch to your outfit?

Maybe it’s not life or death stuff, but it can be a real problem for WIS worldwide. (Just to clarify: My tongue is planted firmly in my cheek.)

Their purpose is really about sharing cool photos of your watch and building a sense of community among enthusiasts; they aren’t really meant to be instructive.

A blue Rolex Submariner, a Tudor Pelagos, a Longines Legend Diver — doesn’t matter. As long as it’s blue, you can start your week with the best kind of the Monday blues.
