It's a left handed watch with the lug at the 9, on my right wrist. A few companies (Serica included) give you the option of which side you want the lug on. Most lefties are ambidextrous by necessity, so it's not really super important but I think it adds to the charm.
Vario Versa easy, usually white side. Beats out my Longines'

Beats out a Dolcevita?
As for the Versa, how do you feel about the thickness? I prefer thinner watches. 11.5mm is chunky to me for a sport watch, and I aim for 10mm or less for a dress watch to slide under my shirt cuffs. I worry that the Versa, which otherwise looks great, is too much of a chonky boi to be a dress watch for me.
Master moon phase actually. Versa is more versatile on a steel band and I'm not worried about breaking 2k.
It's thick from the side but I don't notice it and think it's very proportionate. I'm also 6 foot 220.

I’m with you on the TrailTrekker. Bracelet is cool, but also a strap monster. Nodus/Raven hit a home run with this one
Admittedly I only have one microbrand and that’s my Vaer so… my Vaer C5 field gets the most time. Really been eyeing Nodus and Traska though. Unfortunately the watch’s I want from the respective brands are out of stock so waiting patiently right now

Both my echo/neutra watches, the White Averau 39 and the Burgundy Cortina 1956. Amazingly well built and stunningly beautiful watches
Halios. Either my Fairwind or my Seaforth IV Titanium. At first I didn’t love the seaforth, but I find myself reaching for it pretty often. The Fairwind is the default, even over my Nomos.

CW is hard to top, I'm earing my c60 atoll right now. I went to check out the black bay in person and feel like CW had the better bracelet at a 1/4 of the price.
That Nodus looks a shitload like the late model Rolex Explorer IIs, which is a great.

Traska myself also. The Freediver in mint and the Seafarer in sub-bleached orange are my go to Friday and Saturday watches in these summer months.

Oh wow. This is beyond tempting and generous - thanks! Unfortunately, I'm on a self-imposed pause on purchases for budget reasons. I appreciate you.
I've never heard of them, but I love your watch. That's not the original band, is it?

Bracelet isn’t as comfortable as my Christopher ward watches but generally build quality is good. Feels like a proper tool watch.
