Little crush in store when I saw it. A brand whose name I knew but never seen in store so first glance and it's love at first sight for me. A color reminiscent of titanium but steel. A dial worthy of a certain James Bond ;) . Swiss quartz / Sapphire glass / screwed crown / waterproof 200 M very pleasant to wear and this sunray blue dial with these waves that change color at the slightest tilt. The famous adjective of Xavier that would qualify it for me and it is not one ;) is Wow!

Rodania_Mania ;)

Interesting watch with its pulsation and breathing functions which are simple to use and efficient in data. Quartz movement, sapphire crystal waterproof 100M for a reasonable price. Very readable dial with its Nato or tropical strap pleasant to wear. My first purchase at Lip and it is a success for me. In short, I recommend.

Lip Courage a doctor on the wrist ;)

The answer is yes because the brand is underestimated for me. I had been eyeing this brand for a while and so I bought it during the last winter sales at -50% ??? Those who know its price will see the good deal :) . but enough blah blah it is magnificent! Its white / blue look gives it a polar look. the extension on the clasp is magical. Sapphire bezel is terrible and it changes from the classic ceramic. Ultra readable dial. the Lum is very pretty / "Manufacture" movement for me because not ETA or Other. In short, I recommend the brand

Super Sea Wolf: Really great?

A Tudor not highlighted enough because everyone has eyes for the black Bay. Its Opaline Embossed dial with blued indexes and hands. A format of 39 mm with less than a centimeter thick. A dress watch to have owned. In opaline white the dial is perfectly readable with its embossing makes it hypnotic.

Prince of Lu? No, not from Tudor ;)

Small crush for this cushion watch, a first for me because I did not own one, verdict very comfortable to wear for a diver so brushed steel, conical ceramic bezel I have never seen other than at Briston? Waterproof 300M, sandwich index, second hand with Lum, bezel with 12 Lum index, .a range of Briston nato bracelets giving it multiple looks for an easy change. In short I highly recommend for a price below 700€ / and I tested their after-sales service, very good also.

Enter the Club (Master) ;)

Citizen / Analogue depth gauge over 70 meters, the big blue one is mine ;) / Eco drive, no battery change every 2 years / waterproof 200 meters, ideal for doing the dishes ;) / antimagnetic, goodbye X-men magneto :) / 6-month power reserve / ISO standard / depth alarm / water detector for automatic triggering when diving and for less than €500 at the time in stores.

The accessible Analog depth gauge

Discovered by Hazard in a small neighborhood jeweler with its look and color with surprising specificity for the price: Swiss Made / ceramic bezel / 500M waterproof / Helium valve / Sapphire crystal / sapphire back with a nice discount displayed in the window so immediate crush for me. And rare because apart from mine I have never seen another one in a store or on the wrist of another.

The Swiss army on the wrist.

My second watch from the beginning of my collection, a grandmother for me because date of purchase 22/11/2000 but with beautiful remains ;). A time when we found Rolex in Boutique, where nobody wanted this model its big sister the submariner was more desirable :(. I fell under the spell of this little black sheep of the time.

A beautiful grandmother
