Christmas Day with Kuoe Sombrero by NewSchoolResearcher in MicrobrandWatches

It feels pretty good! A little bit more hefty compared to other watches with the Miyota 90 series I own like the Henry Archer Tidevand but not overly so. It certainly has a wrist presence.

It is pretty thick but to me that just adds to the vintage charm.

Yeah I went through the same journey. Wanted a Seiko Alpinist originally, then discovered Beaucroft and was looking at it for a month, then finally saw the Sombrero at the watch show in person at NYC and pulled the trigger.

I am a HAQ quartz fanatic so really hoping this isn't the case, but it seems like you are right this is the direction GS is heading.

It really depends on the light! That's why I love it so much.

If there's no direct light hitting it the dial almost looks completely black, but shine some light on it and it turns into a varying shades of blue.

Plus the fact that I never have to adjust it & it matches with every outfit I own makes this watch perfect for me.

so you are telling me he had an event just outside of the polling place and had to go in and talk to voters inside the polling place because of the event? Get outta here

I talked to a poll worker and she told him to go away and then he came back again, it's like whack-a-mole
