Tantalum Thursday !
I like the fact that my collection has some variety in case materials. The tantalum of the CB has always been a favourite for me, I just like how it’s that bit dull in appearance. I have another tantalum watch on order and I’m curious to see if it will be similarly satisfying or if the difference in case size and construction and finish will alter my view much.
10-12 years ago I would not have moved beyond the white metals, I had one rose gold watch at the time, but as time has passed I do enjoy the coloured metals more and more.

I would love to buy one of these
So cool. Tantalum and blue just works. Unfortunately I'm a no body😅
It’s not that really.
It’s more just being a little late for what was one of the better value watches among indies (remember these were as low as US$16.5K used, and they sat there) and what is now essentially an application watch.
Yup 10 years ago about
This was same price as vc tradionelle. Didn't have the money for either while in school. I don't want any other FPJ so for me I will admire your wrist shots 👍
I love tantalum so I’ll play
I love the color and I love the mix between the bead blasted and the polished surfaces. ...
Extra dose of tantalum with that one.
