Re: Non CW of the Day

Something about bi-colour chronos does it for me and the dial pattern on this longines compliments the look perfectly imo.

Re: Can a screw down crown unscrew itself?

Ofcourse, all you need is the same conditions that normally allow you to unscrew the crown but sans the intention.

Re: An Ordain x Hodinkee

Might have been tempted by a regular colab but $6k for invisible enamel and a hand scratched dial.... yikes!

Re: Non CW of the Day

The 1st of these that I've seen posts of..what do you think of it so far?... :-k I'm surprised by the subdued reception to it in all honesty. The movement reminds me of a higher end panerai with a bit more visual flare to the bridges layout. The winding is the smoothest I've ever felt in a watch an...

Re: The perfect watch…..what’s yours?

I still enjoy my other watches but could easily sell them all as this one ticks every box. It just has a ton of functions (it's a chrono, aviator and sea diver after all haha) in a small, comfortable package so its hard to get bored with, it being a bit of a strap monster helps too! 20230425_223009....

Re: CW Preview: The Twelve

Just checked that loupe issue out, the sketch drawing as actually quite detailed.

Seems to have bolted crown guards and is pretty thin judging by the size of the crown to the case. 'The dial plays with the light' now that has me very intrigued!

Re: CW Preview: The Twelve

Anyone know the chances of another sneak peak of some sort before the 27th?

Perhaps we should play a guessing game to liven the mood for those that havent seen the preview?

I'll start;

I guess it'll have a textured dial of tiny twinflags logos!

Re: CW Preview: The Twelve

I think it's ironic to hold swiss watches as the original and genuine article and everything else a homage when the swiss industry itself started by making fakes, then to 'homages' then to their own identity of sorts. Swings and roundabouts really. At the end of the day, if someone makes a nicer, mo...

Re: Straum x Fratello

I had a white dial straum, it was very well made and the dial really is mesmerising. The unfinished sellita in the back took the shine off it a little though and that 41mm case was a bit of a monster due to the relatively thin design.

Looks like this new version solves my main gripes with it!

Re: Any known plans for a "true" GMT ?

It does seem kind of funny that the once essential 'swiss made only' mantra is now detrimental as the basic movements fall behind more advanced designs from miyota. Pretty sure LJP will release the 9075 as a 'magic swiss made' version for brands like CW that have painted themselves into a corner, al...
