Temption CGK205 Watch
Temption is one of my favorite boutique German watch brands, and will release this new version of their CGK collection soon. The CGK205 is the follow up to the CGK204 (based on the CGK203 - which I reviewed here). The collection houses a decorated Swiss ETA Valjoux 7751 automatic movement (a 7750 with an annual calendar, moon phase, and synced 24 hour hand), and lays out the dial info really nicely. For the CGK205 Temption refines the design a bit and ads a new metal bracelet option. I think it looks stellar.While the CGK205 doesn't offer a lot new, these are limited production watches from a boutique brand that is hard to get. For me the design is a fantastic mixture between form and function - but not everyone will have the same sense of taste. What I think the watch does well is take the design of the CGK203 and mix it with the CGK204 is a more conservative and classic manner. For me this watch is more exciting than the CGK204 because it updates the design but includes what I loved

Not something I would personally wear, but I have seen it in person and they look stunning. https://.youtube/watch?v=xGYf2B-ukvc

Patek 5164 on nato
I just picked up the 5164a and while I love the rubber strap, I really wanted to dress it down even further and put it on an extra black leather nato strap I had. It is incredibly comfortable and think the 5164 looks better this way than even my Sea Dweller. Comments welcome.
