Especially paired with the more neutrally colored strap options, the Mini DolceVita strikes me as a kind of “Little Black Dress” of watches. You can throw it on with nearly anything without a second thought, and it will pretty much work. And I will argue that despite the general (well-warranted) misgivings of the quartz movements of the world that circulate in this community, sometimes, a girl just wants to throw on a watch without a second thought of winding or resetting. Sue me. I even heard from a fellow watch enthusiast recently that she often prefers quartz movements over mechanical – to each their own.
I will also admit quite transparently that I wasn’t sure about the whole double strap thing. In general, I default to a matching bracelet or a simple black leather strap if I’m in want of a change. I did have a chance to try the new Mini DolceVita out before it was officially released, and all of my skepticism faded to a distant memory when I put it on my wrist. Longines really did get a lot right with the strap design – it was easy to put on myself after a bit of mandatory fussing, and I found I could achieve a funky, cuff-like effect when I fastened it loosely. The term “double strap” is also a bit of a misnomer, given that it appears that there are three distinct layers of wrapped leather around the wrist, which somehow feels a bit more edgy-cool than the typical double strap. high quality replica watches
Also, the high quality replica watches price is working in the darling Mini DolceVita’s favor. I’ll concede that one’s barometer on what is affordable and what isn’t becomes skewed when looking at watches all day. Still, starting at just a hair above $1,600 (for the non-diamond version, that is), that price doesn’t strike me as totally absurd given the landscape of the watch world today, and this piece’s versatility. And, if the novelty of the double strap wears off, one can always swap it out for a bracelet and get back to the basics. high quality replica watches
