[Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Eggshell White 35m] - New Watch Day
Took a moving picture :).
Uploaded the vid directly vs. via YouTube to avoid self-promotion - just want to share my new watch.
First watch I bought for myself and really happy with it. I have a small wrist 6.25 - 6.5 so was hunting for a long time for smaller watches (had to give up on so many nice watches that were larger b/c of fit).
Things I like:
- Design: it’s not loud and I feel I can wear it daily + huge fan of vintage & vintage looking watches in general. The chamfer on the lugs is really nice
- Size: 35-36mm is perfect for my wrist
- Manual wind: I actually enjoy winding this up every morning
- History: There is actually a bit of history to the original version of this watch from the 1950s
- Quality(?): I’m still new to watches but it feels like pretty good quality build
Things I don’t like:
- Strap: I think I have to cycle through a few straps to see what I like/goes well
- Lume: it’s not really that visible
