Which would you pick?

What simple 3 hand, versatile watch would you pick? Pretty similar design, 2 being chronometers and 1 having a reliable ETA based movement. Two are a $800 apart and one more than 2 times as expensive.

Wow that is really cool. I’ve always like the designs of CW but never considered it because, crazy I know, the logo. When it was the full name I thought Dan Henry, a little better with the next logo, but still.

The Bel Canto is cool but this is even better.

Wow. Very nice. Happy Birthday.

commented on Perfect dimensions for my 6.5 inch wrist (opinion) ·

Because Americans use the Customary unit of measurement and watch dimensions come in metric units.

commented on Black Bay 58 925 ‘Quick Update’ ·

It’s definitely a unique watch in terms of the sterling silver.

What I don’t like about all the BB’s is the unpolished section between the lugs. It’s pretty unsightly and gives the impression that Tudor is just lazy. Rolex is the same but I think they intend you to keep it on a bracelet or oyster flex which keeps it covered. I have the 41mm so there’s even more unpolished real estate. Unlike Rolex though, you can buy the Tudor BB with a leather or fabric strap, so it’s not like they don’t see it when they sell it on a strap.

The case of my Seiko Prospex diver is way better finished at a 1/4 of the cost.

Nice watch to end on. I’m sure it’s your last 😉

commented on Which watch on a deserted island adventure for 4 days? ·

All would be good choices. I picked the the 62 MAS.

Sounds like a great time with your kids. I’m sure you’ll bring provisions in case you don’t catch enough food.

commented on How important are ‘box & papers’ for you. ·

Papers are important. Box, if it’s unique and great looking, like some Omegas. Surprised that AP has a very plain standard looking box.

All watches should have drilled lugs, change my mind.

Drilled lugs are awesome, I can change from bracelet to strap in a minute, much longer if lugs are closed.
