Those are all very interesting!
I lean towards the Moser, its case style, gorgeous blue enamel dial and bracelet make it fell super unique and not derivative. The green dial with red seconds hand of the Czapek get’s 2nd place.
Looking forward to seeing wrist pics!
I like GS but not sure it competes in this rarified air
💯 agree
Not your prototypical Moser but IMO the best watch they have put out since early days. I don’t think this watch gets nearly the credit it deserves.
Yes
The early calendar (might have been perpetual?) The moonphase was also nice. Then they really became IMO derivative of early designs.
I really like the looks…
…but a little cautious regarding the reliability issues I read from Tony on here. Let’s see next week…
Some thoughts...
Moser. Personally, I don't love their designs and I think the quality of execution isn't good enough to justify going independent. If I am going independent then I want a lot of value. Czapek. The bracelet is a lot worse than the APRO. I would strongly co...
Interesting take, thank you
Since I haven’t seen any of them before in flesh, I really need to have them in hand before I can definitively say yes or no. I can usually tell immediately if it’s “love at first sight”. I had that feeling when I handled Chopard LUC Salmon dial the first...
For me the Czapek
The whole thing just works so well. And from what I’ve seen the quality is an unbelievable value.
Green Czapek is my vote
I have the glacier blue Antarctique, but I would swap it for that green dial.
UPDATE:
I ended up getting H.Moser Streamliner Small Seconds. It was love at first sight ❤️ I’ve posted another thread about it.
