Watches - another OCD problem

@mclaincausey I’d argue it’s entirely integrated because you cannot change out the bracelet to any strap.

I’m sure in person it’s beautiful. The dial is killer! And five years ago would’ve been a great release.

@Danimal506 it’s absolutely integrated; my point is that aesthetically it’s distinct from other integrated designs because it doesn’t use integral lugs on the case. And from a historical perspective, this is a remake of a design that pre dates a lot of those saturated designs.

I can’t get into that case shape but I like the dial and bracelet.

@mclaincausey Makes sense. Ol’ Gerald seemed to get around the design houses back in the day.

Kinda funny, he came up with one design and sold it to a dozen different companies haha. Good for him!

[mclaincausey]

@Danimal506 yeah. I love his stuff but agree about it being over saturated

Speaking of new / re-edition models, I like that better:

This is a beautiful work of art

It is, but it’s impractically designed. Lots of space that isn’t functional and the way that that space extends over your metatarsals for a left handed wear seems like it could be uncomfortable when you bend your wrist back. Those aspects detract from it being something I would wear although I admire the design very much.

I fucking hate it

Honestly, you could not pay me to wear it....

@mclaincausey what we do for art.

I like the new AP. I was going to post it, but I was beaten to the punch.

@Graeme thanks for the heads up! I’ll check that out

Stopped by the Montana Watch Company boutique in Bozeman. They take ETA and other ebauches and put them in watches that often have engravings on the cases and enameled, MOP, or engraved dials, often paired to tooled leather straps, giving them a distinctive western turn of the century aesthetic. Not for me, but fun nonetheless. I thought this engraved elephant with a case engraved to look pachydermal was interesting.

A couple of other specimens
