Should I get it?
Ok guys…a few nights back @whitesalmon posted his Vario 1918 Trenchwatch. I asked him about it and he dutifully recommended it. Well…I’ve been chewing the cud hard for a few days now — 400 surplus bones is hard to come by for this old boy. But…gee-wiz the watch is a looker! Plus, I’ve been toying with getting a bund strap for a long time.
I’m thinking that 37mm white dial model with a mahogany bund is the one to suit my wrist.
Can anyone of you folks push me over the edge one way or the other??

As they say…”A picture is worth…”
Now…is that the 37mm? And what leaned you to the standard strap?

Yes, that’s the 37mm on my 6”/155mm wrist. I originally ordered the bund, but it was too big for my wrist, so had to go with just a leather pull through.

Gotcha. It looks damn good, though.
Thanks!! I would also give my full recommendation as well if the wrist shots weren’t hint enough. 😜

I won a Vario Trench Watch in a charity auction on a forum for $250 CAD, I've never worn it.... Take from that what you will.

Awe. Thanks for being honest. 😹

The fit and finish looks fantastic. Is the case brass or bronzed?

Brass
40mm white dial with orange lume. I just expected this Vario to be another watch in my rotation, but I find I wear it A LOT! I switch between the bund strap (love it), the leather strap minus the "bund" layer, and a pass through leather strap. Not nearly as high quality a watch as my Ball Trainmaster or Alpina Seastrong. But just a really fun watch.
