Not many details to add. It is but a simple Reverso GT.
I still haven't got around to having something engraved on it so the back is plain.

Not many fans of the watch here but I got a new gummy croco strap for the Hublot.

I'm not a fan, but as long as you like it, that's all that counts.

Of all the Big Bangs, I think that one is probably the most interesting. It's very conceptual obviously but I thought it was executed well when I saw it IRL. The rose gold/carbon fiber versions may be ont he other end of the taste spectrum.

I can see this watch being perfect for lots of different fashion attire, say what SoCal often wears. It's not my taste in watches, but I think it'll complement certain fashion looks very well.

Me, too. Unfortunately, it's selling for over $3k these days. Without going to Asia, you're not going to get much of a discount on it. There are too many other watches I'd rather get for just a little more.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I love the watch one way or the other. I'm not crazy enough to pay that much for someone else to like.

I still love that GMT IIC and Explorer. So what is left in your Rollie collection?
And if you ever consider letting the Explorer I go, hollah at me dawg!

Still got the Daytona on strap, Seadweller, GMT I, GMT II, Yachtmaster, Exp I. I used to have a Exp II white dial that I really regret parting with.

Oh yeah, congrats on the new shoes for your Big Bang. The BB doesn't really do anything for me but that doesn't matter. I know my tastes aren't to everyone's liking. For reasons that are unclear to me this is one of my favorites. I can certainly imagine it not appealing to everyone.

I actually like that one, has a bronze like dial? One of the two two-tones I like is the ss/gold GMT IIC (the other is the J12 Superlegerra) so i could see myself liking that one.

And I completely forgot all the IWC's you own too.
