Chopard: Agree

And a hot take from me, I think Chopard gets a very big pass for having incorrectly sized 30-year old movement while other brands get murdered for the same thing.

Omega: 17mm thick + 3mm for NATO = 20mm (!!)

Design is coherent but Omega really needs to move on from their movement platform from 2010s. Had Spectre 300m, super nice design but alas 15mm thickness, add more for the NATO strap and ultimately didn't wear and sold it because of that. Surely they have fully amoritzed their old movements by now.

Independents: Nice

Wondering if you can given opinion on level of movement finish. What large scale manufacture brand would you compare the level of finishing to?

Horological Meandering: In agreement

Precisely why I held off on so many chronos. I only look at things thinner than 126500 which is 12.0m. Other than things that are very big step up like 5170s or 1815 chronos, the choices are narrowed down a lot. The only one that is relatively inexpensive but also at 12.00 are Albishorns. In that in

Patek Philippe: Thank you for sharing the story

Back when AD relationships weren't so transactional. And of course a very brilliant version of the world time.

TimeOut: Has he actually turned up at a big match?

I feel he's a Ronaldo-lite player. Messi turns up, Ronaldo less so and Mbappe even less.

Audemars Piguet: If it was thinner...

Would be a serious competitor to VC cow's horns. Price is not bad imo but 15mm is too unbearable for me.

Photography: Moment lens is good

But you need its own proprietary case as with all other decent 3rd party macro lens. However biggest thing is unless you shoot macro photos outside in bright sunlight, you need a lot more set up - tripod to lower shutter speed to get more light, artificial light - otherwise you are going to get grai
