Don't get me started sir. I am still kind of duped into it but trying to fight it.

I bought a like 3 Omega POs initially. Sold them


Went to a Rolex Hulk and Rolex White Daytona pre-ceramic. Sold them.

Had the BP Milspec bracelet and then BP grey ceramic bathy blue. Sold them.

Went to AP 15400 white, then wanted the original and got the 15202 before the craze. Sold them.

I thought I was out of the steel watch craze then ended up buying the VC Overseas Version 3 Blue, three hander. Wife loved and interchangeable bracelet thing sold me over.

I want to gravitate towards a Lange 1 Grand Moonphase, maybe soon, or not. Crazy hobby for me this is!

Octo Finissimo Ceramic Sir. Try it on, if you like the matte black/sand blasted look. :)

Bad iPhone pics for you. Sorry! ...  

WoW, that is super stealthy and by the way that is an awesome Reverso...

which one is it? You are a really connoisseur with these two pieces. Kudos. S

Thank you. Kind words.

The Reverso is an older one, and larger, don't think JLC makes it anymore. Grande Reverso Duo Date, I think, I had put my money at an AD for a BlancPain Ocean Commitment version 1 many years ago, took forever so I bought this one. Been in my closet unworn... 

These Reversos are super cool...

and are great on the wrist, they are a great antidote to the overhyped steel watch craze. S

I rather like IP law. I don’t go to court and get to review new inventions and control my schedule because I know when my response due dates are due. Hats off to those who go to court, I don’t have the strength for it. Always admired it, takes a certain t... 

Black and rose gold . . .

. . . works for me! My favorite color combination. Matching ring, too - very nice. Art

Congrats!

I bought the ‘original’ titanium Octo Finissimo about a year ago - it’s a dream to wear, light as a feather and super stealthy. Tried on the black ceramic recently at my AD, it’s also lovely! The deep black ceramic is a bit high-contrast against my skin c... 

What a stunning Octo; and such a perfect match with your B Zero 1 ring

Super cool Ted.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : January 6th, 2020-04:02
Definitely my favourite new watch of the last several years. It does look / wear very different in the various case materials. What made you choose the ceramic over the others?

Thank you! Much

 
 By: K-Lo : January 6th, 2020-04:40
I wanted an all ceramic ultra thin watch, and the Royal Oak ceramic on a bracelet was: 1) unobtainable; and 2) way way out of my price range. And I always liked the Octo line, and this just did it for me. I thought I would have wanted some polish. But the... 

Kind words Sir! You are pushing me back into JLC realm.

 
 By: K-Lo : January 6th, 2020-04:53
Quick question - would you pick a great condition used Grand Lange 1 Moonphase over a new 40.5 MM Rosegold Duometre moonphase? You would do Duometre huh? And the 8 year extended warranty is great, not sure how it works with normal maintenance. I feel they... 

Nice Sir.

 
 By: K-Lo : January 6th, 2020-07:57
Too bad this is out of my price range, and I don’t think it’s being sold at ADs anymore. No 8 year warranty I think. For maybe a pretentious reason, I am leaning towards rose or yellow gold. But if someone shall gift this to me, .

😂😂😇 [nt]

Try it on please!

And thank you about the career change. Dramatic, in the sense, that, when I was a programmer in IT I thought I would never care about writing. Now my livelihood depends on it. So ironic. As Amanico says, it’s the way of truth for me because this career le... 

Roger that! Need to be sure I pass!!!

Or my firm will fire me, lol, probably.

Congrats! Still staying within the realms of "masterminds of the universe" I see

 
 By: JTCL : January 6th, 2020-04:43
Just kidding, awesome piece btw. the indexes and hands look like rose gold from your pic; which I think could be a good idea if they make another version of this piece

Appreciate that! Novice here, ;), not mastermind!

 
 By: K-Lo : January 6th, 2020-05:07
Yes - the plating, I think is chrome, is very reflective. Would like to see how applied white gold markers look on it. May be hard because it is paper thin. But rose gold applied markers would rock too!

Start with reading "One L".
