Why i love my EWC

 

Heyall,

as i was gazing down once more on my right wrist to catch a long glimpse of my close to 6 month old EWC (Rossi edition), i thought i might share with you all what makes this watch special to me and why 6 months in, i still cant even imagine selling it for something else.

- case shape: i love it. The lugs have this flow about them that is just so damn sexy.
- big and yet: its a 46.5mm beast and it shows. But it doesnt feel as big as a panerai or a big pilot. Its still somewhat civilized.
- busy and yet: theres a lot on the dial. Date, world time, chrono, seconds disc... but telling the time is an easy task. I never have to look at it twice. Unless its because i was looking more at the watch than the time, of course smile
- chrono dials: i like how they managed to put all the hour markers and 15 minute markers without making it feel crammed. How many watches out there you can look at and immediately tell how many minutes have gone by ?
- chrono operation: the smoothest yet crispiest ive ever owned. The second hand doesnt lunge, skip or hesitate. I can never go back to AP or Zenith (those are the ones that come to mind and that ive owned with this kind of wacky operation)
- quick strap system: nuff said
- value for money: seriously, where can you get a manufacture movement, fully integrated chrono with column wheel and verticul clutch at this kind of price ??? JLC should sell this at least twice the retail price...
- the rose gold mixed with titanium and rubber. DROOOOOLLLL !!!
- the compliments: ive owned Hublot Big Bang, AP, Zenith,Omega,IWC and Panerai. The comments on this EWC keep coming and coming. Then again, i always make it a point to have my wrist bare of any clothes that would otherwise compromise watch gazing.

I used to love my EWC. I sold it and went astray. Now i REALLY love my EWC and have mucho respect for JLC.

Next time: why i love my AMVOX2 smile

Cheers
Xav
