Oh my....both looks good so I think you just need to flip a coin. Big congrats in advance.
"The Waiting Is the Hardest Part" – Part II
Please follow the link for Part I of this journey. 4 months. A mere 4 months. That is the short period of time that has elapsed since I posted Part I of this journey - thereby commencing Part II. Part II... well, this is the leg that will last. Part II is...
Well, I think that the movement choices will ultimately be dependent on the case metal.
Under any circumstance, I am leaning towards the frosted finish.
insert sound of jaw dropping
The English word "WOW" does not fully capture how amazing that timepiece is. Perhaps some things transcend mere words?
I go back and forth.
The RG and blue is spectacularly dramatic and beautiful. But platinum and salmon just screams "special" to me - and I think it will be special in the metal. I think the blue makes more poetic sense, it being a reflection of the night sky. The only downsid...
You really cannot go wrong with any Kari..
Although I have to say I really like the RG and Blue dial. That just has so much charm. I cannot imagine doing bespoke clothes. Fortunately, its scrubs for work and Kohls sweatshirts and Lulu pants for me (easy, simple and comfy).
Yes, I agree, the RG and blue does ooze charm.
Bespoke clothing is a labor of love. It motivates me to stay in shape, which is nice .
I'm not a roman guy AT ALL!
But I agree, the roman numerals here are lovely. The entire dial feels charmingly antiquated.
Thanks, and I agree! I've been a fan of Kari's work for years.
I've been reading his book, and it, too, is very interesting. My wife makes fun of me for reading picture books now .
Tell her, a picture is a thousand words!
Tell her you're speed reading! You can read a thousand words in the one minute it takes for you to enjoy a photo!
I think KV watches are awesome...
...but his Roman numerals are incredibly awkward in my opinion. I would prefer to see then 'unflipped' and curved to match the edge of the dial. Chopard (among others) does a really good job with this. Credit: Watch Club ...
Very interesting.
I'll have to think about the flipped v. unflipped. That is something I had not considered.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition : )
...the details of dial design are usually glossed over, even by manufacturers. Good thing I'm OCD when it comes to that sort of thing...
Picture number 3 it is for me
But the choice is difficult since, as was mentioned already, you can't go wrong with any Kari. GEO
Are you talking about the salmon with guilloche, or the RG and blue?
Either one is sublime, in my opinion!
This is the tip top of watchmaking
I say... both the platinum and salmon with Roman's and the RG and blue 😂
How about this...
Why don't you talk to my wife, and get her thoughts on that proposition! I have a feeling you will not love her response!
Well
Mine doesn't listen to me...so can't help you! If one, platinum and salmon. But no wrong choice!
Am almost embarrassed to say I've been staring at the blue dial for a few minutes while taking in all the details.
Does that make me a bit, um, 'strange'? Please forgive me, 😊
Beautiful options.
Had not seen the cosmic (?) dial, wow. I'm also in the KV waiting queue. Was initially leaning towards the romans, but am really liking the clean look of the arabics. Either way, some things are worth waiting for!
Absolutely amazing iterations here!
They ALL look fantastic and I personally love the blue one (reminds me my ex) but I even prefer the salmon platinum combination, it's a killer combo!
congratulations and thank you for sharing the journey. It was fun to read and relatable.
Me too "was" just interested in the simple- time -only watches. I love the simplicity that would never go out of style. I loved the mechanism and care that went into showcasing just the simple hour and minutes. Then, after my lustered purchase of pp 5320,...
I love the last one but with Arabic numerals
I think the Roman numerals make the dial too busy. Then again, I have never been a fan of Roman numerals on a dial.
A brief update...
The greatest difficulty associated with a multi-year waitlist - temptations. In that way, it is not dissimilar to a long-distance relationship. I have not been tempted by another brand, which is a relief, because that is a sure-fire way to know that you m...
