Is it me or am I wearing some kind of camouflage today?? 😜

Orient Panda chronograph watch for white dial Wednesday!

Sorry for disappearing, everyone. Work has been killing me, but I lived long enough to make it to vacation. I’m in Paris, and because of all the pickpocket warnings, I only brought my Elevon. Now I’m thinking I should have packed a few more watches. Rookie travel-watch mistake. So far, I’ve mostly been wearing Henleys and AG five-pockets or jeans because of the heat. Not exactly Paris runway, but survival has a dress code. I’m just glad I got here after the 44°C weather. That’s 111°F, which is less “vacation” and more “slow-roasting in a linen shirt.” I stopped into a Swatch store and checked out the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch Moonphase and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms collab. The Moonphase was way nicer than I expected. It did not feel plasticky. It felt solid, and the strap was actually comfortable. The Fifty Fathoms surprised me too. Very nice in person. A 90-hour power reserve on a 400 euro watch is kind of insane. Solid feel, nice strap, and oddly, sapphire on the back but not the front. So yes, Paris is dangerous. Not because of pickpockets. Because now I want more watches.

Forgot to post today, been that type of day.

The platinum dial sparkles in the summer sun!
