I’ve been enamored by great watch design since I was a kid in the eighties. More about finding value in the entry-level & microbrand space than perpetuating brand snobbery. I’m a firm believer that watches should be worn inside of the ulnar head and I am willing to fight about it.
I’ve been waiting for my Serica 6190 for a few weeks now, and it looks like I’ll have it today! Very excited! I’ll share some photos and thoughts here...
On your wrist, that’s too big for my taste. If that’s how you like a watch to look & feel, keep wearing that size. What really matters is whether you wear it confidently. If this achieves the look you’re going for and as a consequence you feel good about it, then you’ll pull it off.
A smaller, simpler, dress watch with a leather strap. I’m thinking vintage and/or Bauhaus with a white/off-white, salmon, or champagne sunburst dial. Date complication, max.
Why is that? I thought the Ressence Type 3 was fully oil-filled. Went back to their site for a closer look after seeing this post and found that the bottom half containing the mechanical movement is indeed air-filled. Is this to do with the fact that the moving parts would encounter too much resistance in the oil which would slow down their operation? If so, could a mechanical movement theoretically be designed for an oil-filled environment?

I choose a watch in the same way I choose any other piece of my outfit for the day. My goal is to assemble a cohesive look. I want my watch to complement the other things I’m wearing rather than to stand out.
