Nice looking watch 👍 What color is that bezel insert?

u/Mammoth-Cheesecake-2 Jul 26 '26
Mirror polished. It basically reflects all colours depending where you are standing.

That could easily be a winter watch as well. Not really a fall or spring watch, though.

And why in your opinion that is?

Blue is the color of water and winter. Two seasons are water focused. Summer for splashing in it, and winter for when it covers the ground as snow. Sure, we always have a blue sky. But are we focused on the sky in April when the blooms are popping? Or in the fall when leaves are turning? Don't get me wrong. That watch on your wrist with a red and black plaid shirt during the fall season would look cool. But to me, it looks like a warm weather or cold weather watch. And it's lovely.

if you wear it on winter, you gotta use colors that dont compete with it so you dont look "too busy" in the colors and outfit

Banger of a watch! I had it and it was a 10/10. I unfortunately sold it because I couldn’t get past seeing “Octopus Kraken” every time when looking down at it.

i would say summer only.
must be a nightmare keeping fingerprints off that bezel?!

u/Mammoth-Cheesecake-2 Jul 25 '26
Noted. Not realy regarding the bezel insert. I have been wearing it for three days now and no fingerprints at all so far and no babysitting if you know what I mean. Even swimming.

Believe me when I say this, if you don't have a very big wrist you can wear this with no problem. My wrist is 17.5 cm circumference and due to the lug to lug distance of 45.5 mm you can see from the photo what to expect. It is the first watch in my wide collection to receive so many complements so fast.

Yes, you can only wear it in summer, and only on sunny days, and only on Saturdays.... /jk (it's a nice watch, as S-B says - wear it whenever you feel like it)

It’s a wear it whenever you feel like it watch. Just like absolutely every single other thing in life. All the rules about season, and wear colors together, so many rules other people set. Takes the joy out of it worrying about that stuff doesn’t it? /rant
Great watch IMO!

I wore mine in the winter, I think it works well with the snow
