I love everything Hajime does but the s
Couldnt agree more. After a certain price point, it’s all about aesthetics and how they add to the space rather than taking some away. Love the music my speakers play and haven’t an itch to upgrade in some time.

The crown jewel of my collection today ..

Isn’t half the fun of articles like this reading through and trying to guess the price as you read? Will it be $1,500? $15,000?

seems to me that this falls in that no-man’s land between $1-5k where there’s always going to be something similar for less (I.e., the Hamilton field watches). I do like the dial though.

Of it’s type - though hardly had time to evaluate it - it is a stunner for $3700USD.

I know this isn’t really made for the “field” in any real way, but would it kill someone to make a field watch with a screw down crown and 100m WR?

You'd think serious waterproofing would be standard by now. Can only be beneficial especially when being outdoors and in, on, or around water. Although 50m is pretty good I think. Would handle most every "field" situation I can think of.

I’d be ok with 50 and a screw down crown I guess. I want something I can go backpacking and fly fishing with (my watch is often submerged in the river).

In the end though,the best field watches are dive watches (timing bezel is hugely useful).

Oh, well. What is real and what is practicable are very different soldiers.
