Incoming....and a little departure for me...

[wschofield3]

I had an itch for a Chronograph for a while and to scratch it, I purchased a Seiko SSC271 last week that I posted. I planned on getting another down the road and it was between a Ball NEDU and the Speedy Pro, until I saw that the folks at World of Watches had a blowout sale on one of my favorite brands and styles, the Jean Richard Aeroscope.

My friend Max (Doboji) bought a Terrascope and he loves it, especially the brushed black dial, and when I saw this come up, well, I just had to pull the trigger.

It's a bit of a departure for me as I'm into simple three handers with not much in the way of color, so rather than get one of the more "traditional" ones....well, I hope you like the one I picked.

BTW, check out the deals at WOW on these, they are a steal! Look for promotional codes online too as I got one that saved me an additional $80.



Wrist shots when in. Have a great day IWL friends!

Wowzers!!!!! Like that a lot! Great choice you have made there.

I almost gotten myself one earlier this year (terrascope), but at 45mm, I hesitated. I liked everything about it, except the size (because I have small wrist). I know they have now launched a 39mm, yet to see it in person.

Your pic just re-kindle the fire in me for this......

Thanks! I expect with the short lugs it would wear smaller than the 44mm that the Aeroscope is and the 45mm of the Terrascope.

Thanks, William. I would have expected you'd like the cushion case since you are such a Panerai fan.

Seriously guys, check out WOW. Every Aeroscope selection they have is well under $1500 and they have many color combos. For a 5K watch that had such excellent metal work/finish, it can't be beat.

Will it be hard to change straps due to the lugs ?

I've been looking @ the Terrascope

Good question, is does look a bit tight there doesn't it? The photos above are borrowed and mine will come with the black rubber strap. I plan on getting an orange strap and will see how that goes. A 25mm lug width won't help the matter either as I try to jam a 26mm strap on it.

In the last few years JR has made a serious combat and really stepped up to the plate with some fantastic designs. Excellent choice!

Thank you, sir! Coming from you with your excellent taste, that is appreciated!

Thanks....yes, the dial and bezel texture along with the high level of brushed/finish work was definitely what triggered my interest in the brand.

This is the ONLY reason I haven't made a JR purchase due to the fact I'm a strap whore
