Outgoing... and INCOMING

So last month I have new incoming, NOS Offshore Titanium 25721TI but the affair doesn’t last as my eyes always on the Novelty Steel. With the discon of that model, the itch need to be scratched fast. So the Titan Beast and Sky-Dweller make way for one of my grail, and here it is.

I would've thought the beast was a keeper! I'm a huge fan from pictures. But nonetheless, awesome pick up and great choice on the 44!

Yes, the Beast was nice and honestly fit my wrist (6.5”) better than 44mm. But my grail is always the 44mm Novelty

Had the chance to try both FC and SS today and only one going home. FC look unique with good weight to it (surprisingly hefty for the material), same price as SS however the durability of the FC case is questionable. The sample I was checking had some edges dented.

Always liked the SS44 plus it looks awesome on the white rubber strap!

For clarification novelty’s are watches within their year of release, so all SIHH 18 releases are novelties until SIHH 19.

You have good taste!

Sure mate. It’s more comfortable and less noticible in term of weight if compared with my previous DSSD.



For DSSD,



On Rubber B, it’s very sleek looking machine but top heavy.

Just my personal experience.
Really large watches do not last long in my collection..after the initial honeymoon phrase..
But like all watches , they are a thrill to purchase..I guess Comfort wins in the end.

Nope, I’m on last hole and tight enough I can’t even slip my pinky between the watch and my wrist. I guess if you need XS on ROO 44mm, the watch is too big.
