It’s been only a matter of time before I wound up with a Farer in my collection (was just a question of which one and when)… but I finally ginned up an excuse to pull the trigger on a Chalcot. The color, the big eye chronograph, the finishing—it’s all so great. Most of my collection includes a black (or otherwise dark) dial, so I feel like this addition brings a lot to the table/will be a conversation starter.

What do we think? Anybody else pick one up, or another Farer (or similar micro brand) recently?

Wow, I’m jealous of your watch, it really has a lot of character. I’m going to have to look at getting one! Thanks for sharing!

I strongly considered this model and the brown sport chrono, but ultimately went with the classic bicompax case design. I have some pictures of that one on here. I love the dial color on this one though, looks nice with the orange hand.

I’m three months into owning mine and it’s definitely my most worn watch, it’s very fun and comfortable. I recommend the steel bracelet that farer makes, it unfortunately has no micro adjust but still wears comfortably.

I dig it. Most green watches I’ve seen are olive/drab or very dark green. That looks like a fun shade.

That looks good. That pastel green shade looks nice and unique. I think they mix and match the colors very well. Anyway, congrats on your purchase and may you wear it in good health.

Minty green color aside, how does it wear? How's the strap? Is it heavy?

I'm thinking about picking up the Lander GMT.

Cool looking watch, hope you enjoy wearing that big eye green boy in good health for many decades to come.

The watch looks great, but it’s totally upstaged by the good boy/girl in the background.
