What to do when a watch ticks all boxes?
May 11, 2017,22:26 PM
When it comes to really liking a watch, I am often a bit of an enfant terrible.
There is always something that I do not like.Especially watches in the mid price category probably need to be ‘commercial’ nowadays.
The sweep seconds is something where I am not a great fan of, I prefer much more none or a sub seconds,
a cut out date window I dislike in most cases and the word AUTOMATIC on the dial, is something that gives
me sleepless nights.
I never understood why it is not engraved on the back.
The new Polo has it all, so I was very disappointed that it was released, but let's not go into that.
I often looked at the 'Piaget Upstream', a niche watch that is so much better build and designed.
But it still has a date and a sweep seconds, what probably made me decide not to purchase it when they
were still available. So when I discovered the, now 15 years old, limited edition version (100pc),
with salmon dial, sub seconds and no date window, it was a no brainer.
MTF wrote an excellent review about the watch, I think it was in 2009
Have a great weekend gents, let me know what you think of the Upstream in general!
