Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Love this dial. The biggest letdown was the bracelet, not-my-taste stubby links. Doesn't help that the previous owner misrepresented the condition of the watch, deformed the endlinks, resulting in 1 loose side thereby scratching the case. Plus, deformed the clasp. Still good to use. Just a little looser. Mainly cosmetic.
I switched it out immediately to this turquoise Pueblo strap by Nomad. Bliss....

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Love the watch! I would happily wear a Milgauss, and I'm glad you like it. What I don't love is that you had to charm this dude and drop high 4 (or low 5) figures just to hope he liked you enough to call you when a watch you "actually want" comes in. It's like the AD system was designed to mimic the auto dealer model with artificial scarcity thrown in! Anyway, sorry for the mini-rant.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I don't know about the whole AD system, but that is definitely how Rolex operates.Boourns wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 2:41 pmwhoagorgeous wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 6:26 pmAD system was designed to mimic the auto dealer model with artificial scarcity thrown in! Anyway, sorry for the mini-rant.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
New offering from Vero in Portland: The Open Water series.
Intended to be a 40mm GADA, it's sporty and fits in nicely with our PNW lifestyle.
I chose the North Coast model. The design is all theirs and is assembled here.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Yeah, I am playing around with my cameras and plan to take more shots of it in the process.
I visited their office intending to buy the Crown Point model, but left with this. I nearly left with both.
I especially like this thin, flexible bracelet. The 60-click bezel sports double lume dots from 0 to 15, which I have never seen.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Cool! If I were still living in Eugene, I would have given them a visit as well. Did one model seem to wear slightly smaller than the other? Thinking about if the differences in their design elements would have that effect.tommy_boy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 12:20 pmYeah, I am playing around with my cameras and plan to take more shots of it in the process.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
The DLC bezel and dark, dark blue dial on the Crown Point are great, and for that reason it may wear differently. I didn't try it on.
This one simply added something to my collection, whereas the Crown Point wouldn't. The lug curvature and the crown guard profile appeal to be. I told him that, next to my Planet Ocean, his lug design was the best in my stable.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Not bad for $25, (actually $5 since I sold the new leather band for $20 and replaced with the one I like better) also I did the obligatory secondectomy. And the engraving was free.
