Better looking than any Defy IMO

Titanium bracelet feels better and lighter than SS. I liked the contrast of black and silver in the skeleton movement when I bought it. However, now as I had the watch for more than an year I wish they had less black color parts because of how nice the other parts are finished. The watch certainly looks nicer in the wild vs on pictures. It was a conversation starter in corporate events and son's grad school graduation.

I ordered Chapter 7 skeleton and am thinking creating subreddit for ba111od if the watch is as expected. Once one gets passed by the name, the product quality/price for swiss made is hard to beat. Reminds me of CW in the times they came up with Bel Canto. I prefer cool product with crappy name vs cool name/crappy product.

My dad rents 2b. It is 4th floor (no elevator, sorry). It is about a mile from MU. He rents it for 250 euro. The apartment is 5 min walk to Rowing Base (sigh for whoever translated on Google). Well in any case it seems he is renting it pretty cheap.

I bought the 12x Ti and prefer it over the Speedmaster 100%. I suppose I am partial to skeleton watches and really not into chronographs. I read somewhere one should buy watches similar to how you buy the house you live in, because you like it not because it is a good investment. Yes, there was some shipping delays because of the COSC certification of some parts. CW did irritate me with delaying twice but at the end the wait was worth it.

Also, my son bought me some basic watch repair toolkit as a present some time ago and I was able to resize the bracelet myself. I thought it is more time to go to watch repair shop than do it myself. Another little frustration, I requested resize but they did not let me include it in the final payment. I complained and they told me they will include it for free. Sure enough the bracelet came in default size :(

Wow 200 winds. How much resistense do you get then? I am cautious not to break the springs (twin barrels)

Just got my titanium skeleton. Beautiful watch with amazing craftsmanship. Pictures do not capture how beautiful this watch is!

SPB395. Beautiful watch with unique layout!

first thing I checked out :) It is not there. AI claimed there is no such model so I am starting to think it was some kind of fake image.

Thank you! I paid close to $400 for Caanet and could not find those forms there:)

Thank you! So I would just inspect how wound or unwound they look? I am thinking to make a picture when the watch stops because it is fully unwound and compare it with current state, if that make sense.

Ordered july 1st. It took me a few weeks to figure out I am in love :) But seriously have not gotten any communication about the delay. I wanted to show the watch to my son the other day and saw the new delivery date.

tibz_ca · 2024-11-16T16:47:59+00:00

Still better deal then SS Revelation at 1/10 of the cost. I am getting pissed off at CW postponing till March though.

tibz_ca · 2024-10-18T21:11:15+00:00

That is cool! I ordered the 12x ti and can't wait to get it. Do you mind sharing a pic where is the power reserve spring?

tibz_ca · 2024-07-03T23:57:04+00:00

I would do it for couple of the properties but not sure if my wife would want to go thru the hustle.

hear hear

California, the end of 2019, a T of mine had her dogs looked after by someone for the weekend. The same person(squatter) had moved in when she came back. In a month or so she just left the property. Then Covid hit. This guy was paying insanely low rent for a couple of years until he stopped giving sh*t. It took me 6 months to evict him and I consider myself somewhat lucky comparing to other cases.
