Looks better together than i had first thought, though it still looks off on the MUT moon to my eyes. That said, I love the strap, wear it in good health.

I definitely understand where you are coming from, and I hope to do so!

I think that a Navy and Dark Brown Croc are both in order though. I think those would be more successful combinations, at least holistically speaking.

I think it may darken a bit. But living in the south, I actually like brighter colors. It is always sunny down here, and I feel that the sun befits a little bit of brightness!

And as promised, some better / more delicious pictures!

Beautiful watch and strap!

That doesn't justify it by any stretch of the imagination.It's like wearing a Faberge egg.

What do you have against art? Even if its on the wrist; if you could purchase it, I bet you would do so

I bet you I wouldn't. Send funds and I would be happy to prove it to you.

If I had the funds, surely I would buy it , for myself! Why would I be sending funds to you Roger; are you an affiliate of the United Way? And I know your lying, for fun, you would buy it

 

[RogerP]

No my man - I'm not "lying" - for fun or otherwise. I wouldn't buy this watch any more than I would buy any watch with a case diameter the size of a dime. That's about the size of the primary time display on this piece, and that makes it a deal-breaker for me regardless of the price. My eyes won't cope well with all the squinting I would have to do just to read the time. Whatever the price may be (does anyone know?), there would be multiple alternative options that I would personally find to be vastly more appealing.

Tiny subdials are okay by me for ancillary displays (chronograph counters, subseconds, power reserve, etc.) but I prefer at-a-glance legibility for the primary time display.

Why do you find it so hard to accept that while you may love this watch enough to buy it with available funds, others may feel differently?

I don't! Just reacting to your Quote, funny for funny! I would put your watch obsession on hold till you get corrective lens's, I am legally blind without mine
