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 the Pandemic.
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)
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 outside)...
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.
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!
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.
