Watch, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Memovox, Polaris

The JLC Polaris watches are so beautiful


Watch, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Memovox, Polaris

The new Grey/Blue dial Polaris melts my heart




Who doesn’t love a Lacquered dial


Watch, Vacheron Constantin, Overseas, Dual Time

I’m not a gold watch guy, but holy crap this is stunning! I wanted to get a sense of how the 41mm Overseas felt on my wrist, it’s very comfortable and feels perfect. They didn’t have the Blue dial Dual time to try on, that particular VC appeals to me for a number of reasons. Plus, Vacheron is a phenomenal brand. I’d love to hear from someone on the forum who owns that watch.


Watch, Audemars Piguet, Royal Oak, Royal Oak Chronograph

The green dial AP RO is very subtle


Watch, Audemars Piguet, Royal Oak, Royal Oak Chronograph

White dial is a classic




When I inquired about delivery timeframes, I was referred to the Aspen Boutique…WhatEver is my thought process.


Watch, Chopard, Alpine Eagle, Cadence 8HF

unfortunately, the store didn’t have dial color ( Maritime & Pink or the XPS ) versions I was most interested in.


Watch, Chopard, Alpine Eagle, Cadence 8HF

The Titanium Chopard was nice 
I have one more watch store to visit today.  


Watch, Zenith, Defy, Defy Skyline

The Pink Defy is attractive


Watch, Rolex, GMT Master II, 126710

Heading out for dinner.

All very nice, but here I would probably go for the JLC. I am rather unconventional… 🤷🏼‍♂️😁

No Cubitus? 😂

It is a gorgeous watch for sure and there’s nothing wrong with being unconventional. I’m not really a PP guy, so I skipped that store.
