Sadly I rarely wear my PRX now. I'm still keeping it as it's my first mechanical watch

I like it. It doesn't catch scratches that easily, but the clasp, which is also polished, does. I personally don't mind it much though 👍

Thanks! Absolute love the sea green dial color. Really pops with the orange hands and makes it a perfect summer watch

commented on What is your watch collecting strategy for 2024? ·

I know for sure that Marathon GPM is on my list since I want to own a tritium lume watch. But other than that, I might not buy anything. I have been drooling for a Rolex OP. However my recent experience with their ADs and my happy purchase of a Nomos made me start thinking, "Why not just save more and skip Rolex?"

I actually don't know my wrist size 😂As for the lug-to-lug, don't get me wrong: I don't really like Nomos either. But for IWC, since it's a pilot watch, I want to wear it with a leather strap not bracelet. Guess that would make the lug seems even longer. Nomos lug has some tapering and comes with bracelet (not strap). Also overall it's a smaller watch, so that also helps.

Interesting to see a fellow data scientist facing the same challenge.

Also, I guess now I have a valid reason to pick up a chrono 👍

Brand that offers watch back engraving?

As the title says. I noticed that Nomos offers engraving service, but I can't find any other brand does that.
