I think they’ve got right. What do you think? Here are my justifications: 1) Grade 5 (not Grade 2) titanium 2) Symmetry of dial (date is at 6 o’clock) 3) Sandwich dial indices 4) Proprietary rubber strap with micro-adjusters 5) High water resistance for a...
Can we say this is some kind of "time only RO Offshore" cousin? I like it and the dial seems quite elaborate. Rubber strap makes sense and keeps price acceptable. Solid execution anyways! Anyways, size makes it too large for me - 44mm and 14.7mm height
My wrist is too small for a 44mm. If they did a 40-42mm it will be goldilocks size for smaller wristed chaps like me. Not to forget, with these rubber straps, they arch out a little, making a 44mm even larger to wear.
I cannot unsee it. Haha. They mentioned the blue version is selling at Wempe initially. I think the Germans have got larger bone structures, they can wear this size better. I’ll just wait for a smaller version of this. The value proposition is spot on for...
Overlooked factor. Personally, a watch haven’t be an Altiplano or Octo Finissimo. Ultra thin is not a preference for me, albeit a chunky watch which hobble on my wrist is not quite perfect. Let’s say, 14 mm is the maximum of the hight. 10mm is good.
The lume is so nice. I contemplated between this and the infinito at the store, but took the infinito instead, yet the lume of this piece still haunts me. I prefer the 38mm version.
230 is a strange anniversary. They seem to be at a challenging cross-road now: 1) Branch into creating too many products that confuse and dilute the main line 2) Stay focused on tried and true products, keeping their product lineages pure I hope they keep...
So I was originally interested in the 42mm 3-hand laureato, many flavors appeal to me, and stopped by Wempe in NYC to see in person. While there, the salesman showed me several of the absolute line and this Ti230 in black really appealed to me, in a very ...
