That taupe dial and the warmth of the silver is endearing
As you say the silver really has a warmth (and as you may see from the layers warmth is good)
Congrats on your new acquisition. It’s a great watch. I acquired mine late last year and have worn it a lot the past few months. I have found it be very versatile and comfortable. It’s starting to tarnish a little, mostly around the lugs (not sure why there in particular), but I fully expected that and it doesn’t bother me at all. The taupe color dial is lovely. Enjoy it.
This silver beauty seems to be getting ready for some rest.
Like you I have found it a very comfy watch to wear. No sign of Tarnishing yet but it’s still early days, but like you I’m expecting it so that’s part of the experience. Hope you continue to enjoy yours too. D
I did try the blue 58 and that’s a very nice watch too I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. It’ll be nice to have alongside the 7928 (I feel a side by side photo will be needed 😀)
