Pretty damn good.

Also backed their new Watch on Kickstarter already. :)

Who?

commented on Next purchase. CK859 or Mark XX ·

Omega, and it's not even close. The IWC has zero personality, and looks like any other Low Effort Pilot's Watch. (e.g. Laco)

commented on Am I the only one that misses the old ORIS? ·

I never cared for Oris, until they released their own Caliber. And it's a banger!

Now the PropilotX is on my radar.

Longines is cute, but i regard them as all the other "put ETA into Cases and call it a day" Manufacturers. It's the same as Mido, Certina, Tissot etc.... and tbh in the same bracket as most Midtier Microbrands. Their "Heritage" means nothing to me. And for that they are way too overpriced now.

commented on Would you consider a grand seiko ·

Yes. I Love their Automatic watches!

commented on Micro Tournament Round 2 Day 2: Monta Vs. Habring² ·

How can you even compare those 2? 🤣

commented on Wich watch size would you recommend for a 7"/ 17cm wrist ·

38-42
