Rediscovering my CK859

Bought this watch a couple years ago, wore it a few times, then put in away and moved on. Took it out the other day and remembered why I was so attracted to it. Finally getting the wrist time it deserves.

Beautiful. Get some straps for it. A blue suede would look sharp. A gray leather strap would look great too.

I like this watch and if I found one at the right price I would be tempted to add it to my collection.

Beautiful watch OP, like others mentioned a strap change would enhance it even better.

Love the Ostrich strap. Could you tell me where you purchased it, and the color please?

Looks great on your wrist

There's so much I love about that watch, and I think one day I'll pick one up. I think that movement is world-class and doesn't get the props it deserves. Twin barrels, Co-Axial escapement, high-tech and anti-magnetic materials, plus gorgeous architecture and finishing. It's so cool.

Lately this JLC is scratching the itch I have for the CK859, but I'm gonna have one some day...

I placed the order with Aaron Bespoke just google it, you can DM him directly on IG, and the color is just blue I believe.

They do an amazing job and you can even order for engraving.
