Re: C63 Celest

Well I already have a Sealander, GMT, and I have a policy for no two watches from same series.
Otherwise it's a thumbs up and it looks fabulous on the consort. Shine her up baby!

Of course having a 'girlie' 16cm wrist helps :)

@Noush Do you have evidence for the assertion that Oris would rate highly?
Well, yeah. The use of sustainable materials for straps, recycled materials on dials for example, and a general push for awareness of these issues.
They have a way to go, but they seem to be working on it.

Re: The Naughty list !

Very interesting. :thumbup:

Patek and Rolex short on transparency. Who'd have thought? :)

Oris not on the list of brands discussed, and they are I guess leaders in the industry in this area, although it's not like they make many watches with 'precious metals'.

Re: Asking “for a friend” - no, really!

The Dolce Vita seems an obvious choice but having looked at it a couple of times I would make this observation: If you are used to the set and forget of a quartz then, if you are not using it daily, the crown is definitely an issue for the individual to consider. Don't know what they were thinking b...

Welcome to the 'Traska Club'! Congrats :thumbup:

Re: Twelve years on - what’s changed?

Ah, the trip down (for me a relatively short) CW memory lane... I discovered CW in 2018 when I was 'back in the market' for a watch. Mrs N had passed late '15 after a long, long, tiring and emotional illness (MS). Watches were going to be my 'me something'. And look where THAT has taken me by gosh! ...

Re: Doh! The Twelve Halo DOES have indices...

For me this was really an exercise in how we can see things differently, revelatory moments, that kind of thing. I've had a few such (different) things with watches over the years. I'm still more 'comfortable' with at least hour markers even if in fact they are not really needed as such. So neither ...

^^^^^
Personally I wear dress watches in all sorts of circumstances so rubber works just fine. But I also understand a different point of view.
