Do you spend more time looking at photos and videos of your watch than actually looking at your watch?

It surprised me as well. At first I thought it was a bit too brutal but when I could inspect details, especially closer around the brushing, it had a very refined sensibility. I see the 1950s, 1990s, and 2000s in the piece. Kind of timeless?

Oddly, I kinda get the No Time To Die Seamaster vibe from that color a bit.

So far I'm nonplussed. My WatchGecko are pretty much on par. The cloth one watch carry bags they come in are cool and clearly Adrian had a quality product. I think the colors are the right tone too. They work better for me, on my 6.25 inch wrist when the watch is bigger than 36mm since I need a bit of bulk and lug to lug to catch the excess for the way I like to wear a NATO.
