Never heard of them! Man, there is a lot to like about those watches, but unfortunately a design aspect here and there puts me off. Same with the Reef diver. That bulge on the left side, wth??

Those look nice, unfortunately doesn't have the clasp that I want. Frankly, for that kind of $money I'd get a Monta Atlas or Triumph now that they have the adjustable clasp. But I think I am going to get the Halios Fairwind with a 12 hour bezel when ordering is open again.

I say you go with the Monta. Better movement, outstanding finishing, and you can find some used for a decent price.

I was out running errands and stopped by a local AD for multiple high end brands.
For fun I tried on a JLC Reverso, I thought it looked good, fit well and is now on my radar as a future purchase. |

We did create a monster. There’s an open heart square Zenith I looked at getting for my dad since he’s into square watches.

I'm not sure if edkwon is just starting to delve (ok, jump head first) into horology hobby/collecting, but if so, then starting with GS is going to soon lead to stuff like JLC, I guess! God, I loathe square and square-ish watches. |

I agree. Not a fan of square/rectangle watches, so not sure how they are supposed to fit, but that looks a little large for your wrist edkwon. But to be honest, it isn't about what I think. If you think it looked good/fit well and was comfortable, it is a great watch to buy and build a collection around along with the GS. Those are 2 solid first watches.
Honestly, my PO is probably a little large for my wrist, but I liked it when I bought it, so **** what others think. That Tank is another that is classy as ****, and SCWRX wears it well. But it ain't for me. He has a sport jacket on for Chirstmas eve with the family, probably sipping $200 Champagne and eating caviar. I am more of a white t-shirt/sweatpants/Natty Ice/mozzarlella sticks guy Edit: It looks like a sweater, not a sport jacket, but yea Last edited by .brian.; 01-15-2021 at 08:09 PM. |

I'll echo some points here...Ultimately buy what you like and who cares what I think I'm just a person on the internet...but that JLC looks big on you.
The tribute moon, which I'm pretty sure is what that is, is like 50mm case length. If you're set on that complication then I get it, but the nice thing with the reverso is they have a few other sizes that are smaller which you may want to check out. Great taste in watches though especially if you're just getting into the hobby. Steve Quote:

time for some metal! the long awaited quick adjust has arrived and it's sweet. loving the angular Countach-vibes! you press the logo on the clasp to work the micro-adjustment.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. The bracelet does accentuate the length of the lugs a bit. And looks like the live version of the bracelet solved the lug fitment pointed out earlier. Does it have half links?

Ok thanks. I think I am going to grab one. I figure if I don't like it I can always sell it for retail or more once they are sold out.

Does Shik get an honorable mention even though he isn't in this thread?

And once you have a bracelet with adjustment like this, nothing else will do. |
