Well, [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] got me switch up watches. This was a pleasant surprise in my mailbox. On loan to see if I like it. I've had it on for all of 15 minutes and definitely love it. I put a Manky Apollo strap because why not. Extremely well executed and the size doesn't bother me at all. Chrono is mesmerizing. Looks like this one is on the list.

You made a great choice! Look forward to seeing more and more of this one. That whole thread has me researching cushion chronos... dangerous

Bonus pic. There's a watch guy at work. I've seen him wear an SKX, Ironman, Eco-Drives and I occasionally ask him about his watches and vice versa. Today he was wearing his high school graduation gift.....a brand that's been on my list. A two-tone Ebel......pretty retro and very cool. I like how their modern stuff retains some of this look too.

Appreciate it!

I particularly enjoyed how [mention]Dub Rubb[/mention], mid-recommendation, convinced himself that he needed the Poljot Okean. A beautiful watch by the way, despite what his wife says. Also, I think I'm going to try the Mondia chronograph one of these days.

They are, and even more so once broken in. The oldest one I have is around 2yrs with no visible breakdown, so I am not sure how to gauge it's life span.

Barton has also made it really easy for you to give them money as they have many styles with basically any width you want, and five buckle colors to choose from.

The 2nd keeper also has a notch so it stays in place at the end of the tail.

Easy 5 star product.

That orange would also probably look pretty good on the PVD version, just sayin'
