I started to like more and more the 3168 Omega steel bracelet. The oyster is difficult to fit perfectly I find (either too loose or too tight). Jubilee is always nice as well
17cm wrist, still works for me as you can see. Also preferred the symmetry with the 400B date at 6 over the more traditional date at 4 ½. Wish you’ll get yours soon.
Bonjour mon ami from a fellow Canadian (French-Canadian expatriated in Hong Kong after living 9+ years in Switzerland) 😉
Bonjour / Grüezi 👋🏻 Fellow polyglot here. I also cringe a bit when I’m hearing any YouTuber using these words or when anyone mispronounce Montblanc, Vacheron, Rattrapante (why the Spanish-ish or Italian-ish pronunciation at the end?) 😅. Maybe this sounds “fancy” in the ears of non native Francophones but in ours it sound “ordinary” at best and “cringy” most the the time…
If you’re unfamiliar with the horological terminology, when you first hear “ébauche”, as a francophone native, it sounds like “a draft drawing or basic sketch”… Likewise, “manufacture” brings “industrial factory, assembly shop” pictures to mind… Pretty much the opposite of fancy and « distingué ».
Quoi dire d’autre? D’une part, on peut tirer un certain plaisir et, sans doute, un peu de fierté à entendre notre belle langue dans la bouche de nos comparses anglo-saxons. En même temps, vu les massacres trop souvent nombreux en terme de prononciations mal exécutées, ça peut nous laisser, somme toute, un peu mitigé…
