I have been offline for quite some time as my new hobby (driving an Alfa Romeo Spider 3.0V6) was consuming both all of my spare time, but more importantly, also the entire monthly 'fun-budget'.
Good news was that I allready had a watch-winder carrying 6 excellent watches, including my gen IWC XVI and super modded rep IWC Ingy SS, Ingy AMG Ti, GST SS white-face, Breitling SFSO and even a Chopard MM GTXL Chrono...
But last year my wife confiscated the SFSO as it is a perfect poolside watch being reliably waterproof and has an excellent gen rubber strap. Fortunately the Ingy AMG Ti which I also took along is also great as Ti tends to stay cool, even in direct sunlight. But unfortunately the bracelet does not size as my wrists tend to grow in the heat...
So I'm considering a swap of one of those watches in the winder (perhaps the GST, the Ingy SS or the MM Chrono) for another poolside special.
But who can advice me what to look for nowaday's? Spec's are:
- does not heatup in direct sunlight
- strap can be sized to accomodate swollen wrists in the heat
- reliably waterproof
- good AR
- good looker at the poolside without being huge
open for all suggestions!
