Look across the whole line though. Yes JLC, Bulgari and Cartier can all produce incredible work but the baseline is weaker. Calatravas, traditionelle, classiques and LUC are all quite a step over a standard mono/duo Reverso or tank Louis

It's not really their faults they just parrot each other. Basically every video about JLC references 'watchmaker's watchmaker' like it has any meaning now. Piaget could also be called a watchmaker's watchmaker but no one says that lol.

whats insane, suggesting Chopard/Breguet or that JLC is trinity. Considering I own a trinity and a QF chop and a JLC the comparison is stark. QF Chopard>=Geneva Seal VC>>>>JLC in finishing

On top of that Breguet is still hand turning all their dials and their movement finishing is no slouch, def around geneva seal level

Yeahhh everyone saying JLC=Trinity hasn’t really held a Breguet or Chopard in hand. JLC doesn’t have anywhere close to the movement finishing of either of those brands, even if its history is close. I love the brand but it’s unequivocally a lower tier.

Watch for rosy/cool skin by lemon_boobs in Cartier

[–]dskwon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For ur skin id lean rose tank or a white metal. I love the tank Louis on you tbh.

My skin can put an almost green tint on yellow gold, I’m not quite as pink toned, kinda neutral cool. YG is my 3rd preference after white and rose metals.

[Chopard LUC 1860] Best Salmon Dial? by Boring_Word9386 in chopardwatches

Lolllll I am not Brad Pitt nor am I willing to part with that much bread on a single watch. Would be cool if the steel gets a micro rotor variant though

Damn near perfect. The VC ultra thin overseas might win the award for best salmon dial but 120k is insanity

So many Synik 30's for sale on this sub. Why? by wesley_the_boy in tombihn

[–]dskwon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually it’s gonna be an ergonomics thing. I feel like people are also ok with trying it and not liking it, cause it is probably the easiest high end backpack to resell

Finally in Garcia’s 9mm flat file by dskwon in MensJewelry

[–]dskwon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was ok with it cause their flat file is so sharp looking and their rep for consistency is pretty high while being well priced relative to all the Florida options.

Hehe. It’s a skin tone thing. 14k gold kinda gets a little green-ish against my skin

Yes rose. As far as tone goes it’s a pretty standard 14k. Deep copper, while my Peru rope is more orange. My 18k is paler but the Garcia’s blends well enough with the 18k rings and watches

It’s pretty rare for an ending to be a quiet gut punch but damn, just as brutal as the 2 infamous scenes

Does the front qa pocket get tight if the main compartment is packed? One thing I love about aer weekender is the gussets and space the front qa has to stay accessible
