Damasko DA36 Review
Value is a big part of the discussion here on worn&wound. Often, it's enough to say that a reasonably priced watch with decent specs and a pleasing design presents a significant value. But for some companies, value doesn't mean offering just the bare minimum. For these brands, the desire to go above and beyond the fundamentals is what separates them from the pack, and if it can be done without charging the exorbitant prices one has come to expect from the watch industry, then that's just icing on the cake. If there is any company that has come to embody this ethos in totality, it's Damasko.Based out of Regensburg, Germany, Damasko first entered the market in 1994 with a desire to do something new and different. Since its inception, Damasko has set new and exciting standards for both the watch industry and with consumers as to what a small brand could truly accomplish. Led by Konrad Damasko, whose expertise centered on work with fine metal components for the aeronautical industry, D
15450ST for a guy
What do you guys think about the 15450ST?Tried one the other day and I thought it was fantastic. I have slightly less than 6 inch wrists and am thinking the 41mm would be too large. Curious for honest opinions if this would be the best one for my 'size' and how it looks on me. Also I am really curious about the water resistance. Their website says it has a screw lock crown, what does that mean? How many seals are there and really what does that mean for my lifestyle? I wear Rolex and Omega in the shower, hot tub and ocean because I hate taking my watches off and enjoy being able to do those things. Would this watch stand up to the task, or is it a watch you need to baby?Thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The one that got away...
Is there a watch in your life that you had been looking for all over, and then finally found it, only to double guess yourself and let it slip thru your fingers... and then regret it for not pulling the trigger when you could?Browsing thru some older pictures on my phone, I found this one, taken in December 2012 at the AP Boutique in Madrid. I had been thinking of a 15300 for a long time, and decided to finally go to a Boutique to try it out in the flesh. Originally I wanted to compare the white vs the black dial. And then I found this one...IMG_0141.jpgI fell in love with it. I thought I would buy it there and then. But I needed to go back to the hotel to get my passport to do the tax free thing.Long story short, I got to the hotel, and I thought, it is late, perhaps I will go back tomorrow to get it, and I will think it over better.Well, long story short, the next two days were crazy busy at the office, leaving at 9 PM both days (that's how Spanish business hours work somet
