I love this watch, but I never really wear it other than when I get dressed up(which is very rarely). Its frustrating, because i'd like to wear it more, but I just feel it looks out of place with jeans and a t shirt. Would you wear this casually from time to time? Or should I continue to only bring it out when I dress up? Thanks guys!

They have been dead as a brand for a long time now. Shame to, they made some awesome watches.

Shame indeed. They make fantastic movements

I believe any watch can be worn casually if you want to, think outside the box.

mps354 · 26 October 2016, 09:46 AM

Definitely...straps change the look of any watch

cervantes · 26 October 2016, 11:15 AM

For sure.

I would wear that masterpiece with everything.

What an interesting watch!

Yes, i'd wear that casually.

It's a beauty. I'd wear it often. Casual or smart. Just don't put it on a damn nato.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I wore it a few days ago with jeans, and it looked ok. I really find that I have a love hate relationship with this watch. Its beautiful to look at, but it feels so fragile on the wrist and the fact that its gold kinda limits what it can be worn with. I would probably wear it much more if it had some way to keep water out, but thats clearly not the case with this watch. I keep going back and forth with whether or not I want to flip it, but I always end up deciding against it..

Keep it if you afford to. It is a beauty.

I was thinking about trying to trade it for a speedy reduced, but I feel like I would regret it. This Lemania is approaching 80 years old with an in house column wheel movement while the reduced has a modular movement, so I feel like I may regret it on those grounds alone.

What do you think? Horrible idea?

That would be a horrible mistake, that Lemania is a beauty and way cooler.

I have to agree. I just have to find ways to wear it more. Something very cool about an old chrono.

A cool watch but I am refraining myself from wearing old pieces due to some concerns on water resistance and the ability of withstanding the shocks the watch would suffer from daily vigors of life
