What struck me on first scroll is that many of these piece I see share a common theme, a non traditional aesthetic / design either in case or dial or both. We obviously buy what we like but I do think many of these pieces will because of how they look have much more limited appeal and that brings both positives and negatives. The big positive being gray or used prices are often quite attractive !
Several pieces in this line up which would be on a list for me too; DeBethune, Logan Rao, Kikuno, L&H, Haldiman and Kudoke.
And some classic Breguet in there for good measure too.

A bit too large for me as well

I had the pleasure of trying a friend's watch. It's really lovely and a tremendous value proposition, especially considering the service, replacement dials and hands. I hope he comes out with a 38 mm soon. I'm kicking myself for missing out on his chronog...

What I have struggled with is finding the right app for the iPhone such that one can isolate a single lens. They are out there, but I haven't managed to find one yet. I was able to purchase a specific phone mount for the loupe I own, which is helpful for ...
Thanks Jay!

So, a question for you. Once your uni days have been left behind and (hopefully) you are gainfully employed is there a watch on your radar for years 1-5 of your career? And then, is there something that might be further out in terms of wishlist.
Excellent and difficult question that has plague me for years!!

Excellent and difficult question that has plague me for years!! I honestly have no idea, the watches I want all start at around 5 grand USD and there are very few watches below that. Some of the one below 5 grand that interest me are Girard Perregaux equa...

I always enjoy the peculiar or the outcast in terms of watchmaking, something that brings something unique to the table. I said somewhere on this post that I think that watches have transitioned from a practical tool to an art form. As such, I like watche...
