Reaching for my Tourneau Gotham with the ice blue dial today. Of my three it’s the only one that doesn’t have an exhibition back, but that makes no difference to me, just a curiosity.

I’m fascinated by the backs of watches. Some are very plain, some are ornate and engraved, and others have a crystal to enable viewing of the movement. Since no one ever sees the back while it is being worn, I’m curious as to why the manufacturer puts so much effort into creating them. Any comments from the group?

So the new Iwo Jima - Black Sand Watch was delivered at 1845 Friday. Pretty much the perfect timing for me to wear this long weekend in Canberra. We have a Sat, Saun, Mon long weekend for Canberra day which means one watch for the entire time after the delivery. It really looks very nice, I did like it when I saw The Watch Bros do a review on it. It is a very nice looking Feild Watch with some amazing history built in. The dome is exquisite, with the distortion playing very well with the light and refraction. The map is easy to read and the silver numeral buttons really do stand out and catch the rays. I have already ordered a new Strap Habit Khaki Sailcoth strap for it and look forward to seeing how that looks. If it doesn’t look good, there is always my other Feild watch that’s I was origionally looking at putting it on. Also I am pretty sure you will see this on Black Rubber in the next couple of days.

I don’t know why this watch maker is still relatively unknown. Watches are of high quality and competitively priced. IMO a lot nicer than some well known brands in this price range

Haven’t worn this combination for awhile so it’s time to start out the weekend with a couple of my favorite pieces of jewelry. Temps climbing to the sixties 👏
