commented on Christopher Ward bracelet issue - your thoughts? ·

It doesn’t look like the strap is in place, did you take it off at all, or did it arrive like that? When I changed my strap on my Bel Canto the tolerance was so tight it was hard to snap it in place. Looks like yours either isn’t or the pin is perhaps stuck in the end link and not out enough to catch the hole

commented on About “true” GMTs. Do you agree? ·

I don’t care about the naming conventions however what really gets up my goat is when I see Explorer killer and it’s a caller GMT. YouTubers do it all the time. You can’t compare the two because, as you say, they do two different functions. So when Christopher Ward launched their GMT that clearly looks like and Explorer the interweb piled in howeve pr the better way to think about it is….its an expensive desk GMT. Then Bremont came out with theirs North of 3k and I thought that was nuts as well. A desk GMT is of no use to me as I don’t monitor overseas time however I do travel so a traveler GMT works very well for my purpose.

commented on What Matters More? Swiss Made or American Assembly ·

Two hugely different things. Swiss made is to a specific standard. American assembled means nothing that I’m aware off. If it was Swiss v American made then there is a comparison however assembled can mean a load of Chinese parts get shipped, might as well get the Chinese to do the whole job and call it American imported and QC and charge less.

Yip I understand, for me I never want to mix home and work. Love the drive home, allows me to destress and by the time I’m home all is well 😁
