I was able to step out for a couple of hours and finally got a chance to take the v85tt for a spin: I have to say that for once, reviews were pretty much spot on. It's a very versatile bike, not as heavy and overwhelming as the bmw GS or GSA. Power was adequate as you would expect for the displaceme
The case looks thinner than I remember the coaxial chronograph to be, is the racing model slimmer? The thickness with the double sapphire is what has always stopped me from considering one.
Your Shinola chrono is interesting, I would prefer it without a date but at least it doesn't suffer from the sagging t*ts syndrome affecting the majority of Lange and Patek chronographs
