Re: New moon phase watch

Reckon I may have been correct with Aventurine. Looks to be some sparkly bits on there.
Call me intrigued.

Always worth trying one on though while you're there. If it works better for you than the 40mm, maybe wait for a sale/discount or find a good pre-owned example? :thumbup:

Re: That's the Spirit!

The blue version 40mm Spirit is a watch I’ve admired for some time. It has a long lug to lug and combined with the ‘sticky out’ end links is wears big on a bracelet on my skinny wrist. I also don’t get on with butterfly clasps and no micro adjustment. I do have a 21mm blue Artem strap which I think...

Re: Non CW of the Day

Well that gets a 10 from me, gorgeous. Is it the 37mm? Looks so good on brown leather. Des Yes Des, the 37mm. I think it was @redmonaco that said it comes to life on a leather strap in another thread. I like the bracelet, but he is 100% correct. Brown leather is where it'll live from now on. The Sp...

Re: Non CW of the Day

For someone who doesn't wear dress watches often, I've given myself a bit of a "dress watch dilemma"

Needless to say, this is the favourite and is definitely a keeper (heard it here first).
I now have some decisions to make on my MLs.

Re: Non CW of the Day

Anyway seeing the 12 Halo prompted me to wear this for a few days. It's PVD not solid gold. The movement is an SW300, so I've added a picture of that as well. This is actually 42mm. I thought it was big when I got it, but I'm so used to wearing larger watches it doesn't look big now. It might conve...

Re: Non CW of the Day

Biggest watch regret was selling my silver AT that I'd coveted for so long.
Great to finally have one again.

Re: Bronze Twelve coming?

CW have previous for using rose gold PVD. I'd imagine this being more likely, although I wouldn't be against CW having another pop at precious metals.

Re: Non CW of the Day

Longines have really stepped up their game with the finishing on the Spirit line. I'll agree with them and award it 5 stars! Comments about the 37mm clasp being a bit short are right though. The bracelet adjusted for my baby wrist just about gets over my reasonably sized hand. https://i.ibb.co/L1g83...

Nowhere near a match for my khaki/grey attire, but I couldn't care less. This is a thing of beauty!
