... Roxy Music who are probably still receiving royalty payments for their iconic Avalon LP and track. You reference is just making me feel old...though cool because I know and have listened to the reference LP on vinyl when new. I was lucky enough to get WLIR in Manhattan/NYC while gowning up. In ...

No-Date movement? Whilst CW generally has the date position engineered out to produce a true 'no date' movement, this watch as it is based on the C63 Sealander that has a date, has a ghost date position on the crown; as stated in the original / initial post. I pointed it out to you that it was in t...

No-Date movement?

I suspect the lumed strap will be a ‘love it or hate it’ feature. Totally unnecessary but it does look pretty cool. I’m leaning towards the “hate it,” at the moment. It seems gimmicky. And I’m not so sure about the watch as a whole, just not to my tastes. I concur. Don't love it. It all seems gimmi...

Specs state 1mm thinner than C60 Trident Pro of the same size. Different case?

Still $29k so passed this time round!

I am not an Omega fanboy but I would have found a way to buy that.

It could be the "Oils, waxes, and lacquers..."

I am that sensitive to almost anything (but not sure you are). I'll often by a leather strap with a non-leather backing to make sure I do not get irritated.

Like others I really liked the look of the Dagger silver although didn’t mind it being a bit understated.... I’ve not struggled with legibility. I like that it is understated but unfortunately my 50+ year old eyes have trouble seeing the dial, hands, and indices. The GMT version is even nicer and s...

Then I found out the hard way that I'm allergic to something in or on the strap I have very sensitive skin and have found that most less expensive straps are "chrome tanned" which uses chemicals and irritate my skin. I would suggest you try and find, unfortunately usually more expensive, ...

The watch seemed even more monochrome in person. The indices were readable but it wasn’t that easy to read . Exactly, the Dagger looks great in pictures but the reality of it does not work (for me). I hope they make the Celest (Aventurine) dial in 39mm because that dark interesting dial, silver ind...

Why put a 12 hour bezel on a Diver?

Oh you chaps.... I admire your ability to hold a CW and look so high :lol: I hadn't thought of taking parts of the Lumiere and transplanting them elsewhere. Technically we were discussing the Twelve... My mind wondered to the features and dial of the twelve and how it would look incredible in a rec...
