100% agree, Brice. LOVE that watch but HATE the strap handcuff.

Great bracelet and a nice fitted rubber strap so not a bad pair of options. But certainly less versatile than some other watches.

The first watch I bought online (and a first from overseas),
from Thian...

Yep, had it, loved it but couldn't deal with that strap system. I don't like bracelet nor rubber in general so it's a waste of a watch for me but beautiful head

Did you wear it on canvas? Can't see NATO or leather working real well on this watch.

Proprietary lugs

That's why I can't see them working real well

I'll be OK.

My Fortis is more off white, but I love it. The hands and markers are blue steel. Shines blue or looks rich black depending on light. I had a very hard time finding this one (which I got new). They don't come up often.

That white PO is awesome.

They do make an adapter for them. Looks off though.

Love the IWC 3568. The strap situation is challenging however, not only because of the proprietary lugs but also because it just didn't fit my wrist properly.

Danny_T · Post by **Danny_T** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 9:20 pm

I've got a handful of white dialed watches. I'll get a group shot put together.

Some awesome ones posted so far. The IWC is a tough one to beat. Prob my fav along with the Aegir CD1 which is hot pants sexy as hell also.

No I wore it on XL Rubber which I had to pay extra $260 for and that's without a buckle which is fn ridiculous in itself. thank god the days of retarded IWC with those lugs and windshield wiper date windows are over;)

So doesnt the IWC 3568 sell for more than the GS SBGX115? So why would that be an option?

I should have kept this.

I would love a great white with a regular black 2254 bezel.

Does silver count?

Also, peep the white-dialed Mako USA by Orient. That might be the best value-for-quality here yet.

I think somebody summed this up recently regarding doxa. I remember reading it and thinking it described me to a tee. I have came really close to pulling the trigger on a doxa many times over the years. Especially, a silver dial or navy but even a yellow. I like doxa a lot , but realistically I am not convinced I would get to wear it much so I always back off.

I am getting better at separating watches I like and watches I'd wear. One thing that has changed over the last 18 months, I am wearing bracelets more often. It used to be about 85% straps.

Also, I have too many enemies to ever consider a doxa orange (Clemson, Tenn. Volunteers, Browns and Bengals).
