Bleu Morning

I haven’t worn the Chronometre Bleu in a few weeks and for a split second I caught myself hesitating to reach for it this morning because of the current market price spike. But I would never want to own a watch I’m reluctant to wear for whatever reason. So here it is in all its glory. I just love the different shades of blue depending on the viewing angle.

Great shots ! And I’m w you- I buy watches to wear, even when psychologically the crazy market makes you think twice!

I have felt the same way about my 5712 lately. But it’s a watch I don’t plan to sell so why not wear it? And when I did it reminded me how much I love that watch.

And your C.B. is gorgeous. Wear it in good health!

Thanks! The thinness of your 5712 probably makes it about as comfortable to wear as the CB. Wear yours in good health too!

Maybe you could find someplace that leases watches. I highly recommend giving the CB a try. Not only beautiful, but at 38mm it’s so easy to wear.

Very nice. You’ve convinced me to breakout the 5164 today. Let’s hope my puppy and son don’t kill it with fire lol

Beautiful - I think if I owned that watch I would not be able to resist the temptation of wearing it every day.
