Do I hear the Certina DS1 calling me...or just the idea of it?
Virtually all my watches are shiny, dateless and seem to be actively interested in being attractive.
I'm sure that most of what I get in future will be in this vein, but I do find myself wondering how I would get on with a more austere, black-dialled daily-wearer style. The one that I keep coming back to is the Certina DS1. I've no reason to think the dial isn't totally plain, and that choice of date window is frankly bizarre for someone usually so averse to any kind date window and yet and yet.
I'm all for hearing strong opinions here, either way, either about the watch or my taste, for that matter
Aside from the aesthetics, it wouldn't be a bad thing if I had one watch which was a bit more robust than my ageing vintage cuties.
It's a nice looking watch, unable to work up a strong opinion either for or against but I would wear it.
It's definitely not a watch for lolling about with, is it? More for being purposeful and busy and ...
.... and this is where I wonder if I'm liking the idea of what the watch says more than the sight of it.....or maybe I'm hoping that wearing it would inspire me to being more resolute and purposeful?
Let's see, I've nine watches, so this would be my tenth. Am I busy and resolute once every week and a half? It has happened....
