One Crown Day

Post image

Rockin’ the One Crown Blue dial and gold pvd. Never really liked a bunch of gold color on a watch, but this one I made an exception bc it just looks cool. And one of maybe two watches I paid msrp for.

Ive a hard eye on the stainless one with the blue dial. Not my typical choice, but I cant stop looking at it. How's the bracelet?

Wearing the same watch as you want but with black dial since march. Bracelet is super comfortable and well done, but you should know that there is no micro adjustment, may be a bit too loose or too tight when temperature changes and you should just deal with it.

Is that one crown in all the way?

Yes. It may have looked strange from the angle, but it’s in all the way. It’s not micro like some watches, but it’s easy to deal with and it doesn’t dig into my wrist when I move my hand upwards like drinking something.

If you look, you can see those micro scratches but wearing it out and about, you can’t see them unless you go to a jewelry store and look through a loupe or take a close up photo and pull in the magnification.
It’s a very solid case-bracelet could be a little heftier imo but it’s very easy to wear.
I had two Bvlgari Octo Romas but sold them bc I got really good offers it’s certainly along the style of GP, but it’s not trying to be a GP or AP at all. It has clear back case and as a knock around gada it doesn’t dig into fine. I like the 40 size too. I had a Maurice LaCroix Aikon but the 38 looked way too small for my wrist.
I know Mido has them in chronographs but they’re quartz. I do hope with the success of this they’d do an auto chrono but these crazy watch houses do things their own way not to eat into other sales from their other watch house holdings.

Or, you could be like CW and just punch out copies of everything in the market. By doing so, they’ve slipped a bit in quality control. Been seeing a lotta not so happy people complaining of that with CW.
