The watch belonging to you rather than me? That, sir, is huge.
I definitely run very informal to somewhat formal (Lange, Romans, Strap) and everywhere in between. The only place I don’t really go is the dressier pieces, although I’ve been eyeing some classic Calatravas and several Cartier pieces for many years.
It's only really over the last year or two that I've developed a significant interest in more 'techy', less 'classic' sorts of watches. This led to me moving from thinking of these linesport Journes as appealing curiosities to something I seriously wanted in my life! Unfortunately for me that happened as the prices leapt up, making it... harder.
While “sports” or dive watches were generally my thing it took several years for these Journe pieces to appeal to me. The current references are really appealing, I think I’d be very interested in the two titanium pieces if my wrist was a little larger.
