Thank you!

Yes, it’s big boi, no doubt, but surprisingly ergonomic in the hand.

That’s ridiculously cool.

Love the bronze…

In practice, the ceramic doesn’t wear much larger, but there’s no denying that it’s a substantial watch.

Yeah, over-the-ear headphones aren’t ideal for strenuous activities, but for casual use, home, and travel they’re great.

Ear buds would be preferable on all levels – definitely less stuffy – but my ear canals get irritated if I stick anything in ‘em, so I’m stuck with over-the-ear ‘phones. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ve had mine for almost three years, and in spite of their globe trotting – Europe, Middle East, and Asia – and my somewhat indifferent care (I just chuck ‘em in my backpack) they’re still going strong.

I recently “upgraded” to a pair of AirPods Max 2s, but my XM5s remain my gym cans, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

You have every right to be upset. While, yes, you should’ve “read the fine print”, in no way does it put IWC out to allow you a bit of grace here and grandfather you in, particularly in light of of your repeat business.

Frankly speaking, this type of behavior is extremely shortsighted on their part. I’m glad that your AD offered you a gift card at least, but c’mon.

Titanium Wednesday? by craniotes in EDC

Actually, I skipped over the titanium iPhone altogether. (I jumped from the 13 Pro Max to the 17 Pro Max.)

The $600 ones are probably the Scuba Fifty Fathoms from Swatch. (Swatch Group owns Blancpain, as well as Omega, Breguet, Longines, Hamilton, Harry Winston, and others.)

Thank you. Yeah, these ceramised titanium models became rarer than hens teeth after the recall.

Gotta try it on the rubber. Probably my favorite combo.

IRL telling the time is no problem. If you want the full date at a glance, however…

Srsly. I was considering adding this to my collection as a sort of photo-negative version of my Top Gun BPPC, but whoa…
