I got this one to replace my older Cartier tank Basculante, which always felt rather insubstantial to me... though I loved the shape.

Love the deco look. I was trying to track down a Davosa with a similar design but apparently they don't sell them too widely outside of Germany and Switzerland.

What I wore today:

I like the way the Medici strap is ageing. Anyone know whether there are any Hirsch bands in the same leather with a non-curved end?

^You really can't go wrong with a nice Seiko. I have one... my first "real" watch from my first year of college... and it's still going strong. Anyway, today I decided to go with a classic...

Is that the Master Ultra Thin? It's a beautiful watch.

Thanks! Yes, it's the 35mm JLC MUT. I have quite small wrists, so it's almost the perfect size and perfect watch. All around, aesthetically and mechanically, great for dress (IMHO).

I really wish they made the new 40mm model with the 3, 6, and 9 numbers on the dial. Stupid line marks

Thanks. I'm not much of a fan of rubber dive straps or bracelets, so its pretty much natos for me.

Orient watches, even their low end ones, are really amazing. They're all 4 or 5 seconds/day fast.

The 60th anniversary is probably my favorite. It's really hard to photograph the watch and capture how nice it really is.
