I was making a Sunday roast and while it was finishing, I had a few moments to play with the CB. 
The Chronometre Bleu has become my favorite summer watch. Easy to wear and playful. The dial is so much more attractive in bright light than on a gloomy day, where I prefer the CS.

It’s a custom calf. It’s silky soft and very comfortable. I just put it on a couple of days ago. It’s nice with a bit of variation from the alligator 😊
