Horological Meandering

Hey everyone, Summer is here and I've been wearing steel watches with short sleeves exposing them to the occasional encounter with another metal object, and that got me thinking about getting a scratch resistant quasi-"beater"; that means ceramic or harde... 

You said it, you are not that adventurous, and you you are not mad about adventurous watches. So, why not a steel LUC Traveler One? It is not that fragile! And it is pretty nice looking! Best, Nicolas ...

LUC GMT One Black is a little less than Time Traveler, overpriced IMO Bulgari Octo Roma in DLC steel actually looks pretty cool, also overpriced IMO Aqua Terra World Timer w/ black ceramic bezel + titanium case actually looks really good since it doesn't ... 

I think my insistence on "scratchproof" is too restrictive, did a little more looking: JLC Geophysic Universal Time: Damn I want to like this watch, but I really hate jumping seconds because they remind me of quartz JLC Master World Geographic: Hard to fi...
