A very enjoyable read, and great to see some of the older lesser-spotted CW’s.
Thanks for posting.

Re: SOTC Kansas City Milkman - Feb 21
That’s a fair point. From a purely personal perspective, I think a steel bezel might temper the stark contrast between the white dial and the black bezel.Kansas City Milkman wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 5:10 pm I actually think the black bezel brings the face to life. That said, if one of the photoshop wizards could rustle up a steel bezeled version, it would be interesting to see what it looks like
and +1 to a mock up!

My first CW was also the C10 aviator. I wore it for about six months and then gave it to my father when he took a liking to it. It’s been his daily wear for a number of years now and what was bought as a stop gap until I could afford an IWC will eventually become a very sentimental watch to me.

Thanks for the watch ID. I just thought the black and orange hybrid really stood out. A lovely match.Kansas City Milkman wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 3:01 pm As JKB points out it's the C65 Anthropocene. It's a fine looking watch. LE of 300

Thanks for putting together this SOTC. It’s a great read - the best type
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: SOTC Kansas City Milkman - Feb 21
Apologies in Advance.
Ah Kansas City
Why is Kansas City in Missouri, and not Kansas?
And is it the same Kansas City featured in Oklahoma
#Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go
They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high
About as high as a buildin' orta grow
Except the football team, then.
Have you recovered now?
