I'm glad the family is all back together and looking better than ever. Great pics, too. I notice you switched the DPII over to the SO and put the Pro II on the CSO. I know it's a little off-topic, but how do you feel the CSO on Pro II wears compared to how it is on the DPII? Which do you prefer?
Thanks JacksonStone. Indeed I switched things a bit. My Pro II is perfectly sized for my wrists so when it went on the CSO it really fit like a glove. It also increased the Bling factor of the watch. I think I like it more and I find it more comfy too. However, I like change and I will soon pick up a brown croc and put it on the CSO for the fall. I will leave it on the Pro II for the summer. I intend to wear it to the office more in conjunction with my Navitimer so I wanted it to be a more dressed up. I knew my SO was coming home and the DPII was going to be perfect for it. I wore in last Friday on casual day at the office and it fit perfectly with jeans. Also this weekend when I am lounging around the house I had the SO on the DPII all the time. Its lighter and perfect for a sporty watch (tool watch). Its a detail, but the numbers on the bezel of the SO are black so they pick up the DPII nicely. On the other hand, the CSO bezel numbers are not colored in so its in perfect harmony with the Pro II. Also with the DPII on the SO, it really gives it an under the radar look and very understated which I like a lot. Then I have the dressier models Navitimer and CSO when I want to dress up a bit more. Long answer but hope it addresses your question
EDIT: Also forgot to mention that the head of the CSO is obviously heavier than that of the SO, so with the Pro II I find there is a better balance between bracelet and watch. The same goes for the SO with the DPII. But at the end of the day, you can't go wrong with either.
Are you thinking of changing things up as well? You were asking about the Pro I bracelet compared to the Pro II...
I noticed that and meant to comment on it.....Perfect choice to switch those two up IMO. If you are going tool with the SO go rubber with just enough bling on the clasp, and you are set for knocking around on the weekends.
Having the option to go black croc or SS bracelet is sure a nice 1-2 punch in the office. I have been wanting to put a crocco deployant on my Navi for sometime as well, but haven't pulled the trigger. It really dresses the watch up, where the calf gives the Navi a bit more sporty look.
I really think the third watch was what this crazy hobby to the next step. Three watches can get you through any imaginable WIS scenario. Anything beyond that is just a sheer love of great timepieces.
A watch?
Two watches?
Three watches?
Four+ watches?
Sure is fun though. Great start to many years of enjoyment as a family
Thanks Thomas. I'm having a blast with my three Lings now and I think this will suffice for at least 2-3 months
I'm still looking to add a white dial to my collection and the Montbrillant 01 Limited has caught my eye
I'll have to wait till my AD gets one and this is a good thing because in the meantime I will be able to build up my watch fund
But you're right, with three one can get by any situation
You should most def go for a black croc for your Navitimer. It ads such a classy look, I love it. I wore it on Thursday after looking at Frank's picture and during a conference call I found myself looking at it and thinking how awesome it looks on croc...I got this site from Sharky who posted it on another thread, they have deployants for very reasonable prices if you're interested in picking one up
http://www.mywatchmaker.net/deployantclasp.htmI am really pleased with my collection thus far. I showed the collection to my ex-gf and her comment was that she couldn't tell them apart.
go figure
