Zenith stood out to me!

I went to a few watch shops this weekend, as one does. This Zenith A385 revival really stood out to me! The gradient dial is just so pleasing to look...

I've done it once before! Maybe it's time to try again.

I like how the crown is tucked away!

commented on Is the Rolex Red GMT that hard to make? ·

Rolex has a ceramic bezel, but Tudor uses an aluminum bezel. The ceramic red is the difficult one to produce from what I’ve seen online.

What about a Hamilton Khaki King?

I'd probably go with something that I can actually afford to keep buying 1-2 times per year. Islander watches seem to consistently be coming out with cool new models at pretty decent prices.

commented on Annoying crown guard ruins comfort on the wrist ·

I’ve experienced the same thing. On my Islander I actually dremeled the point down a little bit to round it out more. I’ve found that a NATO strap can bring the watch head a little off of the wrist, and therefore make the point dig a little less.

But at this point I think I’ve just accepted that watches with crowns facing my hand just aren’t as comfy / need to be worn with consideration towards the crown placement.

commented on Did anyone keep their black bay GMT? ·

I watched many of the awesome videos hyping up the BB GMT and got sucked into it. So I did end up buying one in December of 2021, and still have it as of now. I have thought about moving it on and trying something else just for fun, but I'll probably just keep it for a long time. It's a bit heavy for me on the bracelet, but I have it on wrist right now as I type this, on its bracelet. 🙂
