Hey, Eric, how was the suede on the leather for the Panomaticlunar XL?

It's always looked so awesome in pictures and especially on the Panoinverse XL but I've never seen one in person.


It's just the outer part that's suede, correct?

Great watches Eric!

That Corum was at quite a distance from my cup of tea but the black Glashutte at the top is quite beautiful

I want to like the Panomaticlunar but it doesn't work for me. IMO there is excess blank space on the dial and the printing on the dial seems kind of obvious (I already know its a moonphase). But, I'm not a big fan of the Lange I either and they seem to be cousins.

I don't think the Corum will be coming home with me any day soon, but always fun to try on.

I kind of like that style but I think I would take one of these first;

bummer.

The Lange 1 is probably my favorite watch design of all time.

a pretty good L1 review.
