I've been lusting over one of these for a while. Honestly the only thing holding me back is the brand recognition, and whether it would hold it's value. So rather than listening to people like Archie, maybe I should buy what I like.
Beautiful watch! I have the WorldTimer and am constantly impressed with the piece. I LOVE how they do the moonphase complication. Simple but very classy. Enjoy!
I have one of these beauties on the way myself. I was wondering if anyone had tried different straps for this watch to move it from dress to more of a dress casual. I don't wear a suit often and I'd like this watch to be a regular rotation piece. Please share if you have something to suggest. Thanks!
Just a heads up guys, I just stumbled on a huge online grey dealer who is selling these at 60% off right now. There may be one more day left in the flash sale. I don't want to violate any rules by linking the dealer, but they are huge and a simple Google search will reveal it. I think this is the best put together Swiss Moonphase Dress watches for even 3x the price. When I was comparing it with the JLC Moonphase, I just couldn't help but realize that the FC was so much more legible and laid out nicer. My only concern was the thickness with a dress shirt.. Anyone find that it just a bit too thick and gets hung up on their dress shirt cuffs?
just posted this info on another forum. with the dauphine hands, less expansive face, stick markers and case shape, this can dress down well. I have it (SS version) on a rotation of black straps, a velour and a tan ostrich (the type you see on google images with the reverso).
Black straps - semi gloss smooth calf skin, black stitch; black nomos cordovan (matte); its OEM alligator; nomos anthracite velour (not so black, but great).
It has such a different presence with straps compared to the slimline version - can easily take handmades from well known afficionado sites that are made with vintage and sport pieces in mind, black, tan, maybe not blue (although I would if it had a blued seconds hand with the blue moonphase).
I'm really enjoying this watch... the layout is near perfect and so legible... out classing some watches that are worth 10x as much. Here she is on new Nomos Brown Shell Cordovan straps with red stitching.
