that watch is simply perfect. Great design and the maroon is right!

speaking of maroon watches, has the date cherry aquis ever been discussed on here? I think it is close enough to maroon (and even if not it changes in the light, so just turn your wrist a mm in the light to get true maroon as needed) to pass as an Ag watch and actually within the price range compared to the perfection silian just threw up for us all to drool over...

That's the configuration I've been looking at almost daily. I don't have any watches to contribute to the thread, and that one may be my first nice(ish) watch. While it's not even close to some of your other pieces, how do you like it?

Fair. I generally lump everything not diving or sport into the dress category. They're as much casual as dress.

Yeah, definitely not in the tool watch market. But speaking of dress watches, I really like this:

I would sooner wear a Nomos backwards than forwards. Their movements are beautiful their faces are bland in my opinion
Completely agree. But there's lots of people that hate complexity of moon phase or power reserve or chromos, etc that love simplistic elegance.

And to be fair in a work environment or dress up environment it probably fits better than some of the high end watches I've posted that I'd love as a dress watch that others would see as just too busy.

Love it. Would work great for an Aggie watch (but even better for a Hokie watch).

I like those but the minimal anti-reflective material made it REALLY,...reflective.

Ah yes...Reminds me of my desk. $$$$$ worth of luxury watches and gator skin desk mat.


Upon further inspection that looks to be a Silian Railskin desk mat.

Man for some reason that's the main draw for me of those Aquises (Aquisi? What's the plural of aquis...). But then again I really like shiny things.

Yeah, the Oris is too blingy at least for my taste, even though I know they have a great rep.

nah, valid feedback for sure, just didn't know which watch you were referencing. that's my fear about it too...I've tried to find enough real world pics of it to see just how glary it is

Ok, dumb question. Is that a special order? New to the watch game. Always wanted a Moonwatch as a "paid off student debt" gift to myself, but could be convinced to go maroon Omega

I believe it's this (just on a bracelet, not strap)

It's a really nice watch. I like it. The movement is beautiful and the watch looks and feels very well done for a $2k watch

I really like that. I have a cheap o Daniel Wellington watch I bought years ago for a thin white face watch. I wore it yesterday for the first time in forever because I had on French cuffs for probably the first time since March 2020. Didn't notice the battery had died until I left the house and was thinking of replacing it with a nice plain automatic.

it's a great looking watch. Personally, I would go with something a little more universal as my "first nice watch" but opinions differ.

Silian probably has a watch and a pair of shoes for every day of the month, but some of us have budgets.

You guys mentioned it before, but is it still possible to save on cw watches by paying in euro? I'm not seeing an option on the website and I don't think the discount code is active any more. Let me know if I'm mistaken.

Don't like the watch, but have a star for where you're wearing it.

This strap just came in today. Guess it's lucky.
