After all the comparisons between the Twelve and the Antarctique, my immediate thought was this model from last year.

Re: “The Twelve” is live

Love how the goalpost keeps moving: "This watch looks amazing." "It looks exactly like an Antarctique, though." "All watches have hands and a dial, so by that logic they all look the same." "Well in this case it's hard to find a pair of watches that looks more simi...

That's fine in theory, but it creates a contradiction in this particular case...

Re: The perfect watch…..what’s yours?

Since I weigh aesthetics pretty heavily, my perfect watch is this first generation PML. It shares the same movement as the current PML, but the case is slimmer, the dial is grey, and the layout is less minimal/flat so it wears smaller. Since I don't go near water, the low WR isn't an issue for me, a...

Re: Which brand did you "upgrade" to after Christopher Ward?

I don't understand the idea that watch collecting is a linear journey that takes you away from CW. I bought a Zenith El Primero and then turned around and picked up a nearly new C60 Sapphire. Was one an upgrade over the other? I would say both are high quality, serving different niches. It might hel...

Re: Ingenieur too expensive. The itch starts here.

Hard to justify the B&M Riviera when you can get the original from CW for less. (:

Re: New Atoll Special Edition

Well, so you’re new to watches so let me very briefly explain something to you. First, there was Kickstarter. Next, there was pseudo-legitimate watch companies begging people for preorder money. It literally did not exist until Kickstarter came along. CW has offered pre-orders for at least a decade...

Re: New Atoll Special Edition

This was an instant buy, even though 40mm is a tad larger than I want. The watch looks like an Oris diver had a baby with an anOrdain. It's nuts. The price is nuts. CW legit knocked this one out of the park.

Re: Preview Sale now live

Found out about the sale through the email blast but I'm wondering what the delay might have been. Is there anywhere else that the sale is officially announced?

Re: New Typhoon on Nato

Thanks for sharing the pics guys. The color combo looks awesome. One of the few cases where I feel a nato enhances the overall appearance.

Re: Best watch for graduation present under $600

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic is under $500 on Amazon. I think it has a gorgeous dial and it's available in black or silver.
