I finally made the leap and picked up a SBGE253. Loving it so far!

Have I been misled?

We’re all familiar with the famous shot of James Bond’ Submariner from Dr. No.   Take a look at the wrist; specifically the near total lack of arm hai...

Aqua Terra — frost dial

I recently picked up this Beijing 2022 frost dial Aqua Terra.  Sorry, but the photo doesn’t do justice to the dial.

Thanks!

I’m average-hairy. Never done that myself, but have wondered about others with “curiously-uniform” wrist hair… some folks probably should though: there is one WC member who appears to use his sheepdog as a wrist model!

Gotta have hacking! I’m kind of an accuracy nut, so if I can’t stay within a second or two my head might explode. My main retirement goal is to stop caring about the seconds. Maybe I’ll get a Meistersinger or two!

Otherwise I’m entirely on-board with your list.

Destro is Italian for ‘right’. The watch community’s word for watches for left-handed people, designed to be worn on the right wrist. So the crown is on the left, as is the date in this case. This watch has a cool green and black bezel.

commented on Which Color for SMP 300M? ·

I have a white and a seaweed. They are both great. The green is pretty subtle and often looks black in dim light, which actually adds to its versatility imo. Lots of people gripe about the bracelet design. It looks a little dated, but since most of it is brushed and the polished parts are very small, it is very scratch-tolerant. The clasp has on-the fly adjustment which I use every day.
