Only in town for a day but I thought, why don’t I see when the IWC Museum opens. I decided to swing by after breakfast. Pretty cool little display they have there of some very beautiful and historic pieces. You can download the audio “tour” via the IWC app, so you don’t have to actually be here to enjoy the educational content.

I then went into the boutique next door and tried on the new release being featured in the upcoming F1 movie. Stunning. And heavy in gold! Sadly, I did not…

I bought this Alpnach in November’12 and wore it on the original leather for a couple of years before switching to nylon. As I wore it for everything, it got a bit dirty/sweaty and began to crack, so I went with nylon that I could swap out pretty easily as needed for cleaning, etc. and placed the leather back in the box.

Over the last month or so, I have picked up a couple of new to me watches and this one has sat. Thanks to my most recent…

I am in love with the Glashutte Original Senator Excellence, white dial and blue hands, Roman numerals, no date. But, last month I bought an Aqua Terra, so it’ll be a while before I get the GO. A long while.

I am in love with the Glashutte Original Senator Excellence, white dial and blue hands, Roman numerals, no date. But, last month I bought an Aqua Terra, so it’ll be a while before I get the GO. A long while.

Last week I stumbled across a FS post for this beautiful watch that has many of the attributes I like in the GO, but much more wallet friendly. The seller was amazing and the watch is now mine. I struggled a bit to remove the bracelet, but now have it on a brown Hirsch strap. I…

Quick update- the AT is going strong. Worn pretty much 24/7 (except when showering or mowing the lawn, or riding a motorcycle) since picking it up 34/35 days ago, I can’t count. IT’S ONLY 18 TOTAL SECONDS FAST IN THAT TIME! I knew it would be good, but...

Quick update- the AT is going strong. Worn pretty much 24/7 (except when showering or mowing the lawn, or riding a motorcycle) since picking it up 34/35 days ago, I can’t count. IT’S ONLY 18 TOTAL SECONDS FAST IN THAT TIME! I knew it would be good, but I didn’t expect roughly 0.5spd. Truly amazing, and I wish I had come to Omega years ago!

I picked up this blue dial AT last week, new to me and in like new condition with two and a half years left on the warranty. I have been looking for a…
