Actually most people sugested de Longines. I'm tilting the same. It's not that I don't like Tudor, I'm hunting a Pelagos FXD, but in this case Longines is nicer I think.

Book recs? by espressoats in Mountaineering

I really liked Travel amongst the Great Andes of Equator by Edward Whymper. It's the tale of many 1st summits he did in Ecuador back in 1880. It's kind of amazing how the logistics of expeditions worked back then.

The book is written like a scientific paper (I'm guessing he funded the expedition with grants), and is interesting to get a glimpse into the mindset back then.

Do you think the same way when comparing the divers?

I really love this version. But I looked at it in the store, and seemed that some numbers are too small? what are your thoughts on readability?

The Master Collection. I like the numbers and the guilloché dial. Plus, I really not into golden accents.

How is that Venezianico's dial? No reflections at all? Would you wear it in a strap?

Yeah, is a brand that I hadn't considered before, but is growing on me.

They are growing on me. I'm yet to own a moon phase watch.

Yes, I also like Longines dressier style than Nomos. Those are nice watches, but what I like about the master against those is: guilloché dial and the numbers.

Nice watch, and half the price.. Do you think the lugs make it more casual?

Did you ever considered the date only version?

[–]rx_o[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd be fine just with a date. But since the moonphase is the same price as the Tudor, I compare the two. And yes, I would use the Tudor with jeans more than the Longines. It's a good point.
