These two get a fairly even amount of wrist time, with a slight nod perhaps to the Farer.

Lol yeah I’d recommend it. The resolute has basically become my daily, sharing time with my IWC. Very comfortable. I’d recommend the bracelet (at only $175) but the butterfly clasp may not work for some. There are half links and the 36 is light enough that a little swelling and contracting isn’t affecting the drape much.

I don’t have experience with their GMTs or the Sellita SW330. I do know that it’s a caller GMT, which doesn’t always work for some. That said I am considering the Lander IV in midnight, mostly because I love the bronze hands, bronze chapter ring, and overall colorway. They have a great design aesthetic.

Oh - one thing: I would recommend against their granolo straps - way too thick. A slim non-padded strap like the Delugs slim line works best for these.

Good video and an interesting introduction to echo / neutra!

I love Farer’s color palette and bronze crown. Even their white dial has blue lume to shift the hues blue at the indices and hands and perfectly compliment that second hand. Subtle, but really well done.

No lume shots today but man the Aurora popped off in Washington State. Most were 4 second exposures, early edits. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Cheers Mike! It was great meeting you in Seattle and so fun to finally see some CWs and Fears in the metal for the first time. Also loved the schwag (the Bel Canto coasters are beautiful but unfortunately run a bit big)

Honestly, I couldn’t decide between the Mark XX and the Spitfire, so I just got both. Crisis averted 😁
