As announced on Wednesday, the theme for this monthβs WS will be chronographs. It is still a super popular complication amongst many of us, even if many (if we are being honest) use it more to experience the pusher feel than to actually time something in ...
One with a very unique operating mechanismβ¦ The largest I have at 51mm with a fully revolving caseβ¦ One with a strap especially for Abel ππ¦π· One that we know well here ππ»π A bit of vintage goodness ππ» And another watch well known here that comes closest t...
β¦ your starting post!! As usual you share some great watches and sporting awesome straps. Of course I specially love the Argentinian straps!! Thank you!! Now choosing a watch from your choices today is more difficult. The unique JLC system of operation ma...
Seiko used to have a knack of making massive watches very wearable. Had some friends with slender wrists try the 47mm Landmaster the other day and they were all surprised at how well it fit ππ¦Ύ
... and not only case size but lugs and caseback design and our wrist shape to see if a given watch looks good or not to our eyes when strapped on our own wrists. ThatΒ΄s a stunning and interesting watch for sure. Keep enjoying your so much! Hagwe, Abel
And here many brands with their availability squeeze are definitely missing a trick if getting a fully satisfied customer the first time around ππ»
We share our affection for the JLC Amvox Chrono with that unique operation mechanism, and also the Zenith P-15, as well as the St Gallen βnon-Chronoβ- Chrono type.. Also I enjoyed your Moon-Swatch Speedmaster with your nifty choice of the strap and your c...
While many more have been finally made than initially promised to by are truly astounding in terms of design and finishing. Would definitely like to add one with a 13.21 movement one day (my hand is too puny for the larger ones π€·π»ββοΈ)π€π»
Iβd love to add one at some stage - but have yet to find a modern dial that draws me in, apart from some of the limited edition recent releases that are hard to source.
I have a 17.2cm wrist - with a flat top which makes larger wears more accessible. Largest in my collection is my Zeitwerk Striking Time at 44mm in WG which wears quite comfortably - but with relatively short lugs.
Zenith Defy 21 Vacheron Cornes de Vache Patek Speedy β57 Moonwatch JLC Duometre FPJ Rattrapante Navitimer 1959 Datograph Daytona And one more CDV π€£ ...
Some truly astounding pieces you show and itβs hard to choose only one π Although I have to say your CdV shot with the hat is an all time classic and always a top contender for top spots ππ»ππ»ππ»
The issue is the column wheel cap which takes up a large amount of real estate on the caseback and its polished surface is quite a distraction. The CDV movement is prettier - but they both come a distance 2nd and 3rd to the Datograph.
I have a fairly large number of watches so donβt tend to wear any one for more than a day or so. Ironically the only one to exhibit rate issues was the Datograph - which had become massively magnetized for some reason. The balance wheel was banking and th...
Iβm no fanboy either - I try to find the positives in all brands - although some are easier than others π€£. As far as FPJ goes Iβm off the beaten track with this Linesport Rattrapante, a Havana RG Chronometre Souverain and a platinum Quantieme Perpetuel. I...
And for me the VC CdV gets the nod, (cool Hat shot) with lots of pleasure for the A. Lange Flyback Datograph and the Patek (5172).. HAGWE & Best, ππ
Now that is not something one sees everyday ππ»ππ» Really like the use of the quartz movement to make unusual design choices and itβs a cool piece overall πππ»
The dial / sweater combination is sublime πππ And the Alpine Eagle is surely a proud specimen of the genre. As for the next ones, something concrete planned? π
π PP 5172G - my latest arrival Really love that Chrono - A very fine watch, IMHO - Not more, no less.. Daily beater.. Daytona 116500 LN One of my outdoors favs of mine And here an attractive Vintage - the JLC βSharkβ, E 2643 (Worldtime bezel variant) One ...
