commented on Which are your Grail watch? ·

And you may have placed the grail watch on such a pedestal that actual ownership might be lackluster in comparison to your dreams and expectations.

commented on My Speedy Story ·

The 38 line doesn’t get near as much love as it deserves . . . A solid watch esp for those with smaller wrists. The standard speedy pro does wear smaller than dimensions suggests, but in reality it is still a big watch and some people just want something more proportional with a similar look. This one in particular has such a nice, elegant, and almost vintage look about it.

commented on How do you use your chronograph? ·

I tried to explain certain complications to my wife (she has a new Oris Diver 65 cotton candy blue), and she was like . . . "But couldn't you just look at the main dial and take a second to count?" And of course I was like, "I mean . . . yeah, you could. But welcome to the watch world." haha

commented on SOTC ·

I think this is honestly a logical collection . . . one nice GADA luxury watch + another nicer maybe business casual watch and a few watches that you could just kick around in and not worry about too much--walk the dog, go shopping, go hiking etc. A real world/real life watch in other words.

I always thought they looked cool but wouldn't waste my money on one.

Suggestions? She has a very small wrist (~15 - 15.5cm) and probably would want to avoid traditional divers with a bezel, although the Oris Diver 65 38...

This or That? Neo-Vintage Edition: Zenith Chronomaster Moonphase vs. Speedy Pro-Moonphase
