Congrats! Very nice graduation gift. Thanks for the suggestion. I like the Senator line and the hands are a bit whimsical, like the old Patek 5015/5054 or Peter Speake-Marin. . I'm not currently in need of a dress watch (I have a few) and my sports watches generally seem to get more wear...but if I were going to get something, I'd wait until after April to see the new releases. Cheers!
agree, my sports watch definitely gets way more wear as I haven’t been in an office or courtroom (in person) in almost a year. Some might dislike the whimsical hint in the Senator line, but to me that’s what makes it perfect. It’s a serious dress watch, but has a little shade of fun and fantasy to it that I don’t get with JLC master controls for instance. But for some people, that little spade and blue hands is a total no go in a dress watch. Total preference.
the only upgrade I would consider dress watch wise is the next tier above GO, something like Lange or Patek, but that’s not where I want to spend my watch money at this point in my life. Having one nice dress watch is more than sufficient for me. One day, maybe, I’ll check out Patek but I won’t be able to tell Mrs. ides!
