When you happen to have a watch that matches the wedding colors…

Roasted Tea? Would make a good sibling to my Matcha Tea Presage, but doesn't tug at my heart strings quite as strongly.
Also, nothing makes textured dials pop quite like the most ridiculously effective AR coated crystal I've ever seen in person:
The crystal is very nearly invisible in most lighting conditions.
That's a lot better than AI rendered watches I've seen previously. It actually has the correct number of markers!
The 40mm didn't feel like it was the right fit for me, but I haven't tried the 35mm yet. That said, I think I might get an Autodromo Group B instead when their next wave drops this summer.
At 20 to midnight after a full day in a South-facing window for a full charge, the Zelos Swordfish 40 is in the lead followed by the Geckota just above it; Seiko Alpinist 1959 Recreation rounds out the podium, with the Flightmaster nipping at its heals for brightness and the Islander Rangemaster for legibility; very impressive for printed markers. Islander Mitchel and Laco Aachen put up a fair fight with their own C3 printed dials, which makes the showing from the Traska Venturer's applied indicies all the more disappointing when the Sumiteer's printed indicies maintain better legibility. Taking up the rear are the two Midos on the far left, a Commander and a Great Wall which believe it or not do have lume pips at the hour markers, and even lume on the applied indicies for the Commander; not pictured is the similarly dim CasiOak with barely visible hands and no lume on any markers.
If I ever get a Mondaine, I'd want it to have the dead minute function of the actual Swiss railway clocks.
I've heard the Tsuyosa wears pretty big. If the PRX 40 doesn't fit, the Citizen won't either. As much as I tell myself I'd like the PRX 35 in a Powermatic 80, I think I'd still end up with the quartz model instead.
