Hey @polaris888 , first, enjoy your trip!

I can recommend these 3 JDMs that I own for years and still love them:

thiago commented on Unverified Tudor BB58 leak … ·

Just another day I was thinking "It would be nice if, instead of paying homage to the Sub 6204 or 6538 they start to paying homages to 14060?"

But now I see it and I take it back lol I much prefer my 58 with red triangle had gilt details!

I almost agree with you 100%, I own 2 different cocktail time and I love both. The only contestant I can imagine is the Baltic HMS.

Existing is one thing, and I could even hold some respect if this companies reinvent their selves and use all the technique they have to build a different type watch.

I can mentioned other brands like VW or Hugo Boss that had deep ties to the Nazi regime but immediately after the fall of that regime, they got as far as possible to that past.

I can imagine IWC saying things like:

"From the past to the present, IWC continues to be the choice of discerning individuals who understand the value of time and the importance of heritage."

And then put a image of a modern watch that looks like the same used by the Nazis.

I can't imagine Hugo Boss saying things like:

"From the past to the present, Hugo Boss continues to be the choice of discerning individuals who understand the value of clothes and the importance of heritage."

And then put a image of a group of models using modern trench coat that looks like the same used by the Nazis.

Image

So, how the first is acceptable, even celebrated but the second is atrocious?

IWC, Laco or any other "traditional flieger watch" company.

They are glorified Nazi memorabilia....
