Breguet numerals with moonphase is so nice. Looks wicked.

You ever thrown that bad boy on a grey croc?

Or suede 🤔

I have a bunch of 18mm straps thanks to my Nomos fetish, so between those and this, I have more 18mm straps than any other size. I haven't tried a gator strap, but I do have a grey Ostrich. It's cool, but I don't really care for the padded strap style. A grey croc would probably be great, but since I normally wear this pretty casually, I hadn't felt it necessary to spend the money on what might be a couple times a year wear.

Regarding suede, the watch actually came on an Alcantara strap that I've essentially never worn, because it came with a deployant clasp that combined with the strap hole placement happens to be in the perfect sweet spot of unwearable, being either way tight or way loose. They currently don't have a 16 mm pin buckle available, but they've been working on it and hope to have them ready next month.

Anyways...here are a few different looks:

With both Moritz Grossman as well as Lange & Heyne...I love the overall quality and some parts of the watches, but I feel they always have 1 - 3 things that totally kill the watch.

L&H, a lot of them are weirdly big, like the Georg.

Grossman has an awful awful awful logo.

Just tried the new Black Bay. Hands apart, in those colors, really looks like a Sub. The Jubilee version is heavier.

I actually prefer small logos on the face. My JLC Polaris has a barely visible logo which causes people to stare to figure out what I am wearing.

There's a lot to be said about the Trump trial going on right now, but one thing I've noticed is that Trump's main attorney, Todd Blanche, seems to always wear the same watch which is pictured during the defendant's daily scowl session for the pool photographers.

Any idea what it is? Maybe a Tank of some sort?

Alcantara seems like it would be a good material for a strap. Synthetic should be durable and I like the looks. May have to look for an aftermarket option for my Speedy or Explorer I.

Based on the second pic where you get a glimpse of the crown,lugs and Roman numerals on dial, I want to guess it’s a Franck Muller Master Square??

Initially, I thought it a 1945 GP, but those numerals made me question that. FM is a good option.

Tuns suede for the Panerai. Really love how this turned out. Quality is similar to Delugs for sure but much cheaper.
