Agreed

For me horology is defined by accuracy, reliability, comfort (design) and looks! Looks are subjective but comfort, reliability and accuracy are not! Many times I fell into the hype and theory of loving a watch only to be disappointed after owning it! Omeg...

I actually use the the Chrono a lot because of how confident I am in its reliability. I have had watched where the Chrono broke or reset off center. As far as reading it I always prefer single counters with two hands like any clock. IWC omega excel at thi...

I have seen this one a few times and have always liked it but thought it is a tad on the large side. I was at a boutique again 2 days ago and tried it on again and I am getting closer and closer to pulling the trigger.

Fun watch, cool look. 100% happy with this purchase. ...

But both are powerhouse vertical-clutched column-wheeled co-axial escaped movements

I should know better than to rely on my memory . . .

Learned a lot under your tutelage on this forum, especially about vintage Omega. 🙏🏿
