Looks great - the Quattro design is just so good. That strap looks a very good match - assuming it's some sort of sailcloth or fine weave cotton / nylon? Is that the original it comes on or a later addition?

Definitely my favourite of the three - terrific watch and looks great on you! I think it is a very IWC IWC. Ceramic, Pilot, Chronograph - certainly one of their best.

commented on Breitling X ... Super Bowl LVIII? ·

I think a lot of Breitling's are quite polarising anyway - as for this one, it falls under the category of: love it, but would never wear it!

commented on Montblanc? ·

Really like the design of the Geosphere, titanium case, interesting world time display, decent water resistance - would make a great watch for travel. Think it may take a while to build the brand image to that of the other big Swiss names but my impression when I saw it was that quality was comparable with similarly priced watches. I believe they are generally Sellita based movements so should be reliable and reasonable to service.

commented on London Calling - Watchmakers? ·

Highly recommend Watch Doctors in Tring, Hertfordshire. Originally recommended to me by another (retired) watchmaker and I have used them personally on several occasions, always found them highly professional. https://watchdoctors.co.uk

commented on comfortably_numb's WRUW ·

Nice! Works well on the rubber strap, seen a few with that design including IWC and Crafter Blue.

commented on Rockin's WRUW ·

Terrific watch - works great with that strap. I have the same strap in navy, very nicely made, just wish it was a bit more supple particularly at the thicker watch head end.
