"Surprise . . . . . . surprise." Only one unpleasant surprise over the years; that would be the RGM 222 which I was so prepared to like . . . . . . but unable to bond with. Looking at it now, it still punches the right buttons; irl, underwhelming. The main attraction was...

Not one but two ... Watches fulfills your theme. First is this simple Speedmaster "Melbourne". Don't know why but I keep wearing it. Comfortable, reliable and accurate, despite several urban myths about the movement. Second is this JLC. Big, bold and I like it. I never imagi...
