I have not posted here before. I got this Ulysse Nardin Classico recently. I was very interested in the Omega Globemaster Constellation with the blue pie pan dial. However, when I tried it on I found it was too bulky and heavy. I then saw this UN and was amazed at the blue enamel dial (Email grad feu). It fits great. While I can't quite wear it everyday, I am wearing it most days.

What do you think?

Agree. I’ve seen watches I think are perfect for me only to try them on and find they are too big, bulky, or otherwise not right.

That said, unless you really need/want a chronograph, then I would go with Omega or Santos.

[Omega Aqua Terra] First Watch Purchase in c/watches@style.land

I bought my first “nice” watch at an AD, and I think good way to go to get a “proper” experience and fitting. Maybe ask for 10% off, but I would not be too insistent the first time. Building a relationship with a good dealer could be helpful in the future. If you do buy online, I assume you’ll need to get it fitted with links adjusted, etc. I am not sure where to do that, but maybe could go to a watch shop or jeweler to see if they would do, probably would cost $20 or so. I have subsequently 2 watches on Chrono24 with no real issues, but some hassles dealing with shipping. The both had straps, so no adjustments needed.

[Hamilton] Can anyone tell me anything about this watch? Got it from my father’s collection after he passed. Chose this over a couple Orises. in c/watches@style.land

For all you with the champagne dial- can you see the hands okay? I really like the watch, but sure about that. Black may be better, but champagne seems more interesting.

Look at Grand Seiko’s. I have the snowflake, but many other excellent choices. Excellent quality, beautiful craftsmanship. As good as Rolex (fight me) at half the cost.
