Horological Meandering

This CK 859 is really making some waves here on WPS. Calatrava, Sector Dial, Small seconds…can’t ask for more. How do you think it’s doing, next to a few iconic watches, 1815 HG, Chopard LUC 25th anniversary and our beloved 5196P? Beautiful dome crystal ...  

I wonder if Chopard changed to thicker prints on the LUC even compared with my older model ...  

That Omega is really nice, esp. with the domed crystal. Awesome offering at that price point. The devil, as always, in the details, such as under a loupe or when you look at the case back. But, on the dial side all are great! I wonder how the Omega compar... 

Movement is commercial 8926 which is METAS but of course not expecting much hand polishing etc.

With the modern manual wind movement, it is quite acceptable and yes, totally a value proposition piece.

Beauty is always all in the eye of the beholder! I'll count on you to tell me which one is your favorite. For me, I really like that 5196P. And that 1815 Lange in 40mm is my favorite Lange. I've got simpler tastes, I only wanted the white gold version.

I rotate wearing all of them in no order.

Many times when I look at a box of watches, I don't know what to pick to begin with...my eyes are blank at first, then my mind comes into play to decide on occasion, matching outfits, when is the last time I wore which, and sometimes the Date of a watch h... 

I actually don't have a choice most of the time, since I only keep one car with me and another off site.

My son drives the Cayenne S to school. I drive the i8 and my wife gets the G 😬

Ok, no confusion there!

Dial and case, it is certainly on par (if not better) than the others. Of course the movement finish is more elaborate on the others but technically the movement in the Omega is far more advanced. Altogether an awesome group of which (I have to confess) t... 

The CK859 really fits perfectly well in your small-seconds collection!

From what I have seen so far, you have very fine horological taste. 👍

So many collectors popped out from nowhere 😅? I thought us watch collectors are a rare breed that is going to extinct at some point…when I realize my next gen and younger population are mostly into smart watches. I like this new name “Mindful_Collector” 👍... 

That I find very similar to my Lange up/down. I describe this with words, but these two have some character that my other dressy type watch don’t have (or trigger)…I would add actually my reverso in that category for me. I guess all of them have elements ... 

I don’t have any JLC Reverso because too many nice ones that I don’t know which to pick. I do have this though. ...  

Beautiful quartet.

Omega did a nice job. Less changes is more better here 🤩

CK859 and 5196P both are my faves of the picture. Third is the Chopard. The dark ring is a bit to much for me.

So it brings out the indices but I understand what you mean ...  

I do not want to harm your Chopard. I guess Chopard want to make watches personally, for the individual. The specific Chopard way is somehow shocking for me. Drive me into Omega’s arms. Why the Omega have that aura that is so attractive is a mystery. We a... 

great sector dial from any brand... Best, mahesh.,

This CK859 is a quite star of the show.
