Agreed. Saw someone wearing an IWC Portugieser recently and the large case just made what should be a nice looking dress watch look tacky.

I really like the strap choice for the Nomos.

I just put this burgundy Hirsch strap on my 1982 Omega Seamaster Quartz that I inherited from my late grandfather. Really dressed the watch up from the gold colored bracelet that it was on, but it also reminded me of a pen that I have. The color matching is too perfect!

I was into collecting fountain pens prior to getting into watches and this Pilot Custom 74 was my first gold nib pen. Anybody else have a good watch-pen pair?

I don’t think I could daily an Aquis due to the thickness, but I know I wouldn’t tire of looking at it!

My usual is a Nomos Tangente, but I’ve been wearing this Ball Trainmaster 60 Seconds that I just got and am liking a lot.

I love the design details that Ball watches incorporate. Congrats on the new watch!

P.S. I think lume shots are required for Ball posts :)

I like Ball watches, but not a huge fan of the oversized numerals on that one. I’d probably opt for an Engineer II or a Fireman as an everyday.
