Cycling through gear is cool. But most of the folks I roll with have their ONE instrument and then their rotational stuff...

Also a huge difference between [vintage] acoustic instruments and electronic ones (analog/digital). Certainly more reason to cycle through the latter.

And yeah I like the normal dimensions + romantic style moonphase instead of the huge 44mm ones they do now with a realistic looking moon. IMO looks kinda bad.

It's weird that the most common dimensions of a Speedmaster, if counted by number of SKUs, are 44.25mm.

I don't get it, trend is definitely leaning towards smaller sizes. IMO no reason for a manual wind chrono to be so big lol.

It has to look large and proportional when you strap it to your space suit on the way to work at the mining colony.

New strap.

Interesting piece back when Bell and Ross was kind of distressed. It is my dad’s and I just had it serviced for the first time in 25 years or so.

The hands have decayed quite a bit. I’m surprised!

I like it overall, but damn- that is an ugly date window.
