Out with the Ming, in with a Kollokium (and cash). Something I had a level of interest in during its last release window, but didn't try for as I had funds tied up in Ming. This is actually two separate transactions, but this became available within 48 hours of selling the Ming, so it feels like a trade at least.

I think this is very well executed for what it is, but it has the feeling of something here for a good time, not a long time. My current watch desire is for something clearly on the opposite side of the aesthetic spectrum than this, but the timing was right and that is still a ways off, so it made sense to give it a go.

Very cool! Like a Tron pin screen. I wasn’t familiar with this watch. Good trade I’d say.

Can I get the group's opinion the Tank Amercaine large? One has come up locally and thinking about something as a dress piece which can also double as dressy sport watch. Any negatives? It's the one with the seconds hand, I think the earlier ones had no third hand..

I like these. Was a big fan of the chronograph model. Too bad they don't currently offer those.

A couple of years ago downsized to a one-watch collection. Recently added this Seamaster SMP300 again. My next purchase is likely also already decided (blue PanoReserve) for a more dressy-daily option and a 3-watch collection.

Nice. I want to try on a PanoMaticLunar. What was the one-watch you had?

Interesting details. I had a CPCP Tortue MP that had a clasp similar to the older one you posted. I never really liked the design. Which of the two designs you posted do you prefer?
Updated clasp. The foldback the leather version was really weird. You can technically get a better fit with the old version but once you fold the leather there’s no going back. If you try to adjust it and create a new fold, the strap sort of moves back to the main fold.
