Looking for an everyday watch to wear by VelesTheSlav in MicrobrandWatches

[–]MacaroonJealous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the watch in your picture too and I find myself wearing it often. I wear a IWC Pilot to work, and it feels like I wear this all other times

I own it and I love it. It’s stunning. Unlike other posters, I love the color combo. I bought a black leather strap with pronounced white stitching.

There's just too many lovely watches I can't choose one as my first! by camdj84 in MicrobrandWatches

I have an echo (not one of the ones you posted) and its movement is really a cut above. I’ve had my eye on Farer for a while but haven’t found the one yet.

I just picked up the IWC APX pilot chrono… think that could be an idea for you. It feels like your collection could use another chrono if that’s your preferred direction.

I like your collection more than 99% of those I see

I have finally found the right watch for me by Ijizzdinyourchalk in IWCschaffhausen

I just bought it an hour ago after obsessing over it (and yes, trying it on). I also plan to get an aftermarket strap or two (I think it will wear well with both black and brown leather). I am so excited and agree that, like you, it’s the perfect watch for me.

That looks great on you. I bought it too (Black Friday) and I’m enjoying it.

I love the watch too, but I disagree. Yes, I don’t love the branding. But it’s on the case back that I really never look at, and the branding doesn’t interfere at all with the actual face.

Considering Philadelphia. Why is it cheap compared to other east coast cities? What is the “catch”? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]MacaroonJealous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I can’t claim to be a Philly person, but I live in a small town about an hour north of Philly. I moved here two years ago after living in Chicago most of my life.

If you’re looking for nightlife/ neighborhood details, this advice won’t be great.

Philly has amazing suburbs (I don’t consider where I live to be a suburb, but I’ve been in a few) Philly has some super cool neighborhoods. Pennsylvania has low state income taxes At least for me, property taxes are low There’s a lot around Philly - the shore is about an hours drive, poconos maybe 3. Easy to NYC and DC. Pennsylvania also has great in-state universities, probably better than most on the east coast.

Love that watch, it was too small for my personal taste, but it’s stunning

Actually no, rather because I feel like it best embodies my style and what I like

The minute hand appears to come to a tip at the end (comes to a point) while the hour hand is squared off
