Buyer's Remorse?

Post by mattcantwin » Tue Apr 14, 2015 11:41 am

Nope.


The plan:

Sell all my 24mm straps and NOT buy any watches with 24mm lugs.

Reduce the number of watches.


Then I went to the CT GTG and saw Mark's Aegir's in person.

As good as they look in pictures, they are better in the flesh and wear great on the wrist.


Todd really nailed the design. :thumbsup:



As much as I like the grey dial, the white is killer.

Todd let me add a white dial to the order.


I then second guessed my decision to purchase another watch (and one with 24mm lugs, to boot) as I waited it's arrival.


I've had the watch a bit less than one week, find nothing I don't love about the watch and am glad
I decided to bump things up by one in the watch box.

That's awesome. It's a great watch. Great size and proportions too

I really like the looks of these.

Am I correct in thinking the dial/crystal is larger in this version, than in the CD-2?

Yes. Wears very different.
It's also thinner with a flatter case back

the markers are wider but I am not sure about the dial size.

I believe the dial is bigger on the CD-1.
