I Had Similar Stream of Thoughts / Details Later


Shaun:

Great posting!

I had a similar debate of "This is the classic", but "This is the prettiest", but "This is the most wearable", but "This one has semtimental value" . . . I will share the results later today or tonight.

It's a tough question . . . let's all hope that we can keep more than one.

: When Jeff posted his scan day idea of
: favourites then my first
: thought was this watch as it is my current
: favourite:

: But then I reread the scan day definition more
: carefully and I had to
: reconsider. I love the Lemania Silverstone but
: it is not really a true
: Heuer classic, more a minor model (though a
: fantastic minor model).
: Then I thought of this one, as it is really THE
: classic Heuer:

: But I am
: not sure it would be the only Heuer I would
: keep as it is not my favourite Monaco (BTW
: the ugly strap is my mistake, also sorry
: about the useless photog with the shadow of
: the crystal). So I thought maybe I should go
: for what I consider to be the best looking
: Heuer in a balance of functionality and
: “beauty”:

: But then
: I reread the criteria again very carefully (it
: was drafted by a lawyer) and it
: specified your choice would be your only Heuer.
: The 2446 bezel is too delicate
: to allow everyday wearing, and if I have to
: wear a Heuer everyday (I
: do) it would have to be something more robust.
: So in the end my final
: choice is this one:

: Funny that it ended on this one as my first
: ever pic posted to OtD (via
: Jeff) was the burgundy Silverstone, I think it
: was more than two years ago. I think the
: scan day was called “your favourite Heuer”.
