I wear mine too today
The marker at 6 positioned means that I had 6 whiskies last time. 🥃🥃
20th anniversary will be in 2026. 😃
It waves hello :-)
For some strange reason, it’s back as a daily wearer. I’ve been wearing it regularly for several months when normally I’d wear it only for a few days in a year. Just like old times, really. Looking forward to seeing it reach its 20th birthday next year ...
Always nice to have history with a watch
Even though it may drop off the radar at points, when you go back you appreciate it more. Enjoy getting reaquainted Cheers JML

You've just created a novel . . .

The best novels were written under alcohol: five of seven US literature nobel price winners were drinking, a lot! 🥃🥃
Sinclair Lewis, Eugene O`Neill, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway und John Steinbeck. Jack London drank a lot too, but was not honoured the novel prize. Good company, I would say! 😃
Yes, no doubt that many of our best writers liked their drinks.
Now all I need to do is start writing..? Ugh, I need a drink.

The 36mm version of this watch was my first “higher end” mechanical.
I wore it as my only watch for several years but ultimately sold it as the 36mm size, incl. bezel, didn’t look quite right, esp. with the full-sized HEV protrusion. That being said it had a reliable ETA 2892 inside a thin, comfortable case with a timing b...
Thanks for sharing that story. In a similar vein, my first ever nice watch was an Aqua Terra at 41..
Which i eventually found too big. If I had bought the 38mm, I’d also likely still have it. It’s definitely getting a lot of wrist time. Comfort is a great draw these days and the slim profile and Bond bracelet makes it a go to watch
Makes sense — I also think I’d find the 41mm AT too big, but the 38mm just right.
I had an IWC Mark XV which I also (stupidly) let go which, at 38mm, wore perfectly.
