Gotham, Batman, New York City.  This watch makes me think of each every time I strap it on. 

I had no plans to wear at watch today, I’ve generally not been wearing a watch since the lockdown began (over 100 days at this point), but Mo’s post gave me some inspiration.

I think yours shows off the case the best and that’s why I was torn on the decision. Mine, the PVD, just looks smaller on the wrist which was the deciding factor for me.

If I could I would also add a 110.

I think I’m at 5 days of wearing a watch since March 16th. 3 days Journe, one Rolex and today Urwerk. Pretty unbelievable really. It does make me question things a little. The context however is I rarely wore a watch at home, usually taking my watch off shortly after getting home from work.

Looks great on your wrist too. Is this the black or kryptonite version out of interest? Was it hard to pick between the different versions of the 105?

Your pictures of the Urwerk definitely make me want to expand into the independent world for the first time. I almost bought one in Singapore a year ago but ended up with another piece - and have been reminded every time you post! Can I ask have you taken the watch swimming yet? Also how is the scratch resistance? Peter
