EdipisReks1 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) It’s small, but has plenty of room for an engraving on the back. I think it’s quite lovely. Box and papers makes presentation nice. HAQ movement to boot, which is silly since it has no seconds hand and it’s not like you can read it particularly accurately! Surprisingly weighty.

EdipisReks1 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Swapped the Slim onto an orange Hermes barenia strap. I think I like it, at least for very casual wear. Hermes sure makes a nice strap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Ugly, demodé, too from the ugly part of the 70's. Definitely an acquired taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Put me in the minority. I like the face of it a lot, the form factor is decidedly odd but considering it costs what some here would comfortably pay for a bracelet/strap I say why not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I am of the retro cool opinion. I'd rock it! Not everyone can rock a cool hat and glasses like you. Don't let a decidedly funky watch slow your groove dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdipisReks1 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I’ve been getting used to wearing a gold watch on the regular (the Chopard being an automatic and all; Santos Dumont isn’t a daily wear watch). It’s a different experience, and I was very wary of dents and scratches. I’ve put plenty of small superficial scratches on the Chopard, but the couple of moderate hits it’s taken have caused no damage (I’m guessing that the crystal actually took the knocks), which is good for confidence.

EdipisReks1 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Picked up an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I have decided that if I’m going to wear an Apple Watch, which I do 95 percent of the time, that I want it to be an Ultra. Maybe having two Ultras is silly, but I don’t have to worry about charge now (I would swap to my series 7 when the ultra died and then rush to change back). Unlike with my “old” Ultra, I have picked up a generic titanium bracelet, instead of another Sandmarc; options have gotten a lot better than they were a year ago, so I don’t see the point in spending hundreds on a bracelet when you can (hopefully!) spend dozens instead. Also I seem to have lost my Series 7, so I needed a second Apple Watch anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 For those interested, the bracelet from Ultra Supply Co is very nice for the price. It’s an exact match for the Ultra’s finish. It is built well, though has a cheap stamped clasp (it’s sturdy enough). It’s a lot cheaper than the Sandmarc or Nomad bracelets. I have their titanium Milanese mesh coming soon, too. Recommended.

n_maher Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I really do like the look of the Ultra2 just still can't make it work for my use case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 I've had mine for a bit now, I like it a lot. Because it's dive rated, I feel a lot better about wearing it kayaking, and the blood oxygen sensor came in handy that week I had covid. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdipisReks1 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I didn’t find one, on my search for a 1908, but I found a couple watches I wouldn’t mind going home with. The Louis is most likely, but I think I would honestly buy a Ralph Lauren 867 by Piaget first for half the cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Cartier… I’m not quite as happy with the engraving on the Credor, but it’s such a tiny watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolink24 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 (edited) Love a Tank, I actually bought one recently (Must Solarbeat) "for my partner" and definitely not because I wanted to "borrow" it "occasionally". A couple of other random pics from the collection while I am here. First, the current daily driver. Love it. Been on a bracelet recently though. I'll save the bracelet look for a future post. And then there is my baby. Action shot. And yes, for reference my wrists are SUPER tiny. That Oris is a blessing as a 36mm dive watch.

EdipisReks1 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) Monday morning wrist check: Chopard LUC XP in grey gold. A wonderful daily wear watch that I rarely wear. 7.2mm thin. Wears like a dream. Edited February 19 by EdipisReks1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdipisReks1 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 (edited) If anybody was interested in what a 7mm watch looks like on wrist. It feels like wearing a quarter, but it gets a lot thinner than that (my Santos Dumont is just 5.5, and feels absurd): I love it. Thinness is a complication. I’m not happy with this Tiffany lizard strap. I think I want to wear this watch on Horween Shell, but the last time I had a Horween shell strap made I got a rash.
