I have a relative getting married and is looking at venues around Dallas. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with a place called Venetian Terrace in Irving? Thanks..
Different complications are neat on mechanical watches. So few of them do a nice large moon phase that is readable unless you get really pricey like Arnold. The best not ridiculous priced moonphase I have seen is the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow. I'd need to see it in real life if the translucent shield is dark enough to limit the lower moon figure, but overall they have done a good and unique job with this. It has a "Speedy" vibe, very large moon, and the red tipped second hand and date are nice for quick viewing at a glance. It runs about $2k.
I've got a Weishi 1900. Really cool and addicting. Can also set off the OCD. I use it as a tool for tracking speed (accuracy) and amplitude (condition of spring). I don't open my watches, but it lets me know if something is headed in a direction I might need work done to it.
Did you see where Rolex is dropping the OP39 and has introduced a new OP41 but with four (kind of not for me) flashy modern dial colors? As my Rhodium OP39 is now out of production and an instant rare classic, I will now start the bidding at $100 chajillion bazillion dolllars....
I'm the same way on many. It's why I can't do a cyclops on a Rolex and have an OP39, and love Nomos. That Tudor above (i think it is a Black Bay) is fricking beautiful in it's simplicity and the quality of the case and movement is wonderful. But then I irrationally and stupidly think, "oh Tudor....just get a damn Rolex if they are the same company."
