Have you seen the Type 3 BBB?

In my opinion, the Type 3 BBB is the purest expression of the Type 3 so far. Worth seeking it out, if you're giving all of the oil-filled watches a test drive. It may turn out to be your favourite.


Of the watches you've tried on, the Type 3 BB or Type 3 W would be my choice. Does the lighter dial work better with your typical outfit?

Didn’t expect the white to get the first vote!! πŸ—³οΈ I also think is very special and less seen as a look

Not an easy choice...

I've been on the fence several times with Ressence, and my options were almost the same as yours, but adding the blue Type 5 to the equation. Agree on the practicality of the date, which is almost a must for me, and the Type 3 white looks cooler than the ... 

Type 3 is indeed more wearable

for how long you had the watch? did you have any issue of the time moving and becoming unset (since it is set from the backcase ) or what made you sell it ? Indeed is not very robust!

Ressence was a dream watch for me for a long time....

for me to own not one but two blew my mind, I still think they are some of the coolest designed watches available and their rarity makes them special BUT The reality was the setting of the time was not easy but once set it was ok, the Type 1 felt more rob...

I like more a colorful dial then a black or white one .

Gives the watch more character imho . Especially when it has a amazing time display like this

These are all great.

My choice would be the Type 3 in white for all the reasons that you mentioned.

Somehow, I think the aesthetics of the 5 are quite nice.

Fiancee likes the white 3 much better

thanks for contributing (also the Fiancee!) πŸ‘

In think the 5 is also nice but has more sporty vibes and may be not as wearable on a smaller wrist ..it still wears smaller than any 46 since it has no lugs

I prefer the...

Black, but either should satisfy you.

Goes better with a dark strap..
