Francois-Paul Friday. Are You ready to go commando?
It’s Friday and freezing cold here. So cold I’m actually enjoying wearing a face mask outside😜 Despite the cold I decided to go commando 😬 Question is now - what FPJ are you wearing? I wish you all a fantastic weekend. Let the fun begin! Christian ...
Will be sporty today, like Mo and I guess like you and Alex too.
The Elegante is pretty sporty too. ...
I guess we are sporty guys 😁
There certainly is an appeal to this sporty genre. A lighter, more dynamic style I have come to appreciate more in the last year. It’s an interesting thing as we have talked about before. I can’t deny something has pushed my taste in this direction during...
You too Viken! I see it is still honey moon.
He got something very right with this Havana dial.
Much appreciated Patrick

First time seeing one off the strap it was delivered with.
I suspected it would be “better” (subjective opinion) on something duller and I think your photo backs that up.
Here’s another shot..
The more subtle strap really gives it a different feel.. I tried a couple different colors, the olive strap balances the dial color (vrs the original green strap that makes the dial look a lot brighter) ...
The dial looks a lot less comical, I love it.
The CB can work with loud straps as it’s dial is only loud in certain light. But it seems this dial needs a contrast with the strap as you say.
Much better color combination.
I love the applied numerals on this dial. I think They really elevate it.
The olive strap is great
Much better than the original one, to me. Fantastic picture!
Brave man, or well-mannered kids!
I don’t think I’m brave enough to wear such a beautiful dress to the playground with the kids. Or maybe it’s just my kids; they wreck everything they can! Either way, I’ve adjusted my approach accordingly...(photo obviously taken when it wasn’t freezing o...
Me neither!
Pushing the swing was a particularly stressful affair. Beautiful piece by the way!
Cool image. We need to live with these watches.
I’ve always loved how you just use this watch. Pampering gets too stressful. I always have to be careful what I wear around my youngest. Both in terms of watches and clothes. He is hurricane and he has made more than one scratch on my watches.
Thank you!
I have to admit that it originated with my Panerai getting very chewed up over the course of playing with my kids, and then I let go of the worry more broadly and am better able to enjoy both my watches and my kids!
Yes. We have to LIVE!
I do admit, I have a few pieces in my box that I keep for safer occasions. Generally I see scratches as something natural and I hate to see how polishing washes away the contours of a watch case. I would much prefer the scratches.
Dearest Ed! Good to hear 👍
Which one did you go for? The Elegante has the quick change pins as well. You need a small strap change tool to push it as it is sitting into the strap. It is not a real problem though. You could fit a generic leather strap If you wished to. HAGWE buddy!
That’s the one I got as well.
I love the color of the polished titanium and the mix of brushed and polished surfaces catches the light in I really nice way. I think you will enjoy the lightness and the fit of the case. I compare it to putting on sneakers after having worn a pair of go...
