Mido Appreciation

I've had my first Mido (Multifort TV Big Date) for a few months and still get such a kick out of it. Unbelievable quality on par with my much more expensive watches.

Spare strap in orange arrived today which I'm loving (despite considering myself pretty boring when it comes to watch straps).

Any other Mido fans out there?

I don’t own a Mido yet, but I really dig this and the Multifort Patrimony. Maybe one day I’ll own both. Congrats on the watch, it’s sweet

You have good taste, my friend. The Patrimony with the black/grey fume dial is a beaut.

I do love the look of this Mido, would love to have one one day, will be a future classic for sure

I just give my son 20yrs old his first Mido a few weeks ago. He’s loving that watch. He finally learned how to read the time from a real 2 hands watch ⏱️. I’m sure you know the new millennium kids only can read digital time…..lol

Yeah it’s super nice. I had an aquanaut and this is very reminiscent - but with a big date and a bit of its own character..

I can assure you there are still plenty of us 200- birthdate kids who can read analogue. That's a lovely watch, I'm sure your son was chuffed!

Tbh I really like the look of these.😍

I normally dislike round lume plots, dates & GG vibes , so no idea why I like this so much but I genuinely do.

I'll certainly be on the look out for one in the future when available used.

Just find it really odd that this flies in the face of my normal tastes but appeals so much.

Maybe my taste is changing,or more likely it's simply a really good design that just works 🤷🏼‍♂️

·

One of the hottest watches out there at the moment 😍. Great to hear that you enjoy yours.

·

Yes. Love this one. Budgeting for this one now.

·

I really like it. I would choose the same combination you chose, buy the blue one and get the spare orange strap.

There are other watches I’d like to buy this year, but I can’t exclude I’ll get this instead

Yeah, prefer the blue/orange combo rather than the dark grey dial. You won't be disappointed if you go get it. Out of interest, what are the other watches you looking at getting this year?

Reminds me of a GO 70s.

I haven’t any Mido yet. My favourite is the blue Multifort Patrimony. Spoke to an AD last week about the brand. He said he can’t order enough of the TV Big date, like yours. They just fly out from his shop.

·

I'm just a fan of beautiful watches my friend and your wearing one 👍👌

Agreed. I test drove one of these at Dubai airport and loved it.

Looks great, what's your wrist size? I'm bouncing between getting this or the CW Twelve 36mm for my small wrists

My wrist is 7 inches. Watches always look bigger on photos. I'd say this wears like a 38mm. The Twelve is a great choice too.

Exactly. They’re closed to $20K in Canada.

I am not really a Mido fan but the TV big date is on my list for sure!

·

Such a nice watch! Congrats!

I didn't think I was a fan until I got this. They certainly have my attention now.

·

That is a great alternative watch. It has its own personality

·

Congrats hope someday Mido will make new color dial.

·

I love this watch! It’s well priced has decent looks and can have a range of straps on it to give it cosmetics! I’m definitely thinking of adding this to my list of watches!

I'm with you - there are elements that I would generally say I don't like (round lume plots mainly) but the whole design here just works great. I suspect the big date means that baton indices would throw everything off but I feel like Mido caught lightning in a bottle with this - harmonious design that seems to be resonating with a lot of enthusiasts. Feels likely I'll be looking at this as a summer watch for next year...

I just ordered one, can you tell me how you ordered the extra strap? Can't find it anywhere online. Did you have to call Swatch?

Congrats. You will love it. I ordered the extra strap through a Mido AD.
