I’ve been half in the market for a halfway decent chronograph watch for a couple years now. I got a bit more serious about my search recently and have been spending way too much time researching this pursuit. The watchuseek forums have been particularly detrimental to my ability to keep this as a less than casual interest.
Anyway, I scratched my chrono itch with a couple pieces (Tissot T-Race and Kienzle Klassik), but just now I stumbled on a beautiful Patek with a moon phase subdial. Hey, pretty rad, I thought. [TMI ahead!] Then it occurred to me that my monthly flow should be synced with the phase of the moon. I say “should be” because I don’t really pay much attention, which puts me in, uh, less than desirable circumstances from time to time. But with a moon phase watch, I ought to be more aware! All my periodic problems will be solved! (Not really.)
Too bad these stupid watches are like $60,000.
