This article delves into his considerations for the Lake Tahoe and Mojave editions, offering insights into the nuances of ceramic cases and the subjective nature of watch sizing.
But itβs not my or others opinions that matter, buy and wear what you like! Just curious; If you ended up getting out of it last time because you thought it was on the large size - Whatβs different this time?
And the variant you had is the best of the bunch
yeah it's odd because in photos it almost looks like lugs shoot past my wrist but I assure you they don't... mirror or from other's view it fits fine.. but when I look down on it it looks a bit like a dinner plate.. the chrono 41's - yes yes there 41.9mm haha fit perfectly in photos and top down but then in person they seem too small. I'm also worried if I buy another one and it not being black it will look even bigger. Maybe I need to go find one.
I got out of it because I thought it was too big... I ended up getting a mojave 41.. love it. wish there was a 41/42 BP QP
Yeah.. I liked it a lot but my probably with IWC's black ceramic is it shows so many scratches.. no it's not the ceramic scratching it's other stuff depositing on the case and it looks a bit bit.. yes an eraser removes them and I shouldn't really care but for some reason bothered me a lot so I went mojave 41.. waiting for a lake tahoe 41 chrono. That will be the best. Not sure why it's taking Chris so long to do it.
I miss it a lot but it was/is a hockey puck. Oh the dilemma.
