Re: A poll because I’m just curious
As a renowned Santos 'fence-sitter' :) .....no not yet. And the price in Oz now says it's moved out of my price comfort zone now anyway. And one of the issues has been the busy-ness of an all-Romans dial. As ever, never say never to a Romans dial but I do prefer them as Romans - batons alternates. I...

Re: My grail, and favourite watch in my collection - AP RO Openworks
You have a couple of real beauties there. Absolutely spectacular.
Personally the 'piece unique' of the Dornbluth is more my thing but that particular R.O. is a fabulous piece of watchmaking no risk!

Re: D. Dornblüth & Sohn - bespoke watch
Yes indeed! Congrats in order and yep I'm a huge fan of what they do. This is properly special in a way that say a "Holy Trinity" piece just can't be.
True connoisseur piece no risk.
The concept of 'affordable" is kind of a variable thing though This is still real money.

Re: CWL of the day
Sporting a cute little extra today that I picked up last night at the Australian Watch Club's annual Christmas GTG.
A great geek-out night with a friendly bunch of like-minded souls. And a nice chat with Jody of Just One More Watch who is also a member.

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

Re: The Naughty list !
Well, yeah. The use of sustainable materials for straps, recycled materials on dials for example, and a general push for awareness of these issues.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 8:56 pm
@Noush Do you have evidence for the assertion that Oris would rate highly?
They have a way to go, but they seem to be working on it.

Re: The Naughty list !
Very interesting.
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...
