30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

What about one of those books on watches? There is a Hodinkee one around $100 or can go big like this one

I bought myself a watch repair toolkit so now I can just change straps, remove links, open casebacks etc myself - can be found very cheap too

Ahah I bought like one of the cheapest recommended on Amazon - there was quite ample choice there though even going higher up in quality I suppose

Does he have a nice case for them all? Wolf makes really nice ones.

What’s your budget?

You can never have enough straps 😊. I know you said no watches, but maybe consider an Undone watch? Relatively affordable and customizable.

Another idea is a framed print or vintage ad. Check out @watchesandpencils and @adpatina (instagram).

A watch travel case instantly comes to mind. Otherwise perhaps a subscription to Hodinkee magazine

Anyone looking to buy a Rolex Datejust 126334 fluted bezel, Azzuro Blue on Jubilee? Few weeks old, almost like new. Thinking about selling it for $11k (less than what I paid with taxes) since I don’t like flippers in our hobby.

Super beautiful watch, just thinking it’s a bit flashy for me.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
