Has being a watch forum altered your tastes.
My first foray into lurking then posting of watch fora was in 2012. In that time I have seen a much wider range of watches and my tastes have definitely changed. This has been increased but spending much more time window shopping and trying things on when possible. I think this is part education, part exposure to more choices and probably part looking at choices other people have made.
So early 2012 I really wanted one of these - now it would be a definite no...
Have your tastes changed/evolved ?

Two related factors at work -- in the past decade or so, my style choices have evolved significantly, and that has reflected in my tastes in watches.
I used to be vehemently against bracelets, but these days, I own a few watches with bracelets.
However, in terms of my fundamental taste in watches, that is mostly unchanged. I still think the Submariner and the Speedy are ugly watches.

No, I wouldn't say being on watch forums has changed my taste in watches. My tastes and preference evolved way back in the 1970's and 80's. Being on various forums certainly has opened my eyes to many, many brands and styles I had never heard of, but it hasn't changed my tastes.

What's wrong with the turbine? There are lots of iterations, I think its pretty neat.
To answer the question, no. Taste and style are different, and while styles come and go, taste is a survivor.
Forums have introduced me to a lot of affordables I might have not found otherwise. Some excellent, others that cannot be unseen.
It is now my duty to completely drain you.

I am not a watch forum, I'm a free man

That one?, the colour is just awful although I might like a different colour.

I am not saying anything is wrong with the turbine, it just doesn't excite me like it used to.
I love the WRUW threads for what comes up. New watches, new combinations with straps. Expanded horizons and often not expanded budgets.

It's OK. For a Turk, your English is very good.
