Watch Lover crew, here are a few standout posts from the Watch Lover community this week. 👏 Big shoutout to @James Milson for “Throwback Thursday's Casio MW600F” and the story of finding a red-dial Casio without spending a fortune.

Well, Solare and Mare officially complete my Italy Collection, and I have to say, Marcelo — The Niche Fragrance Guy — really went all out on this one. The presentation is beautiful and absolutely feels like you’re opening something special. Solare is the brighter, sunnier one for me — sparkling citrus, a little spice, some juicy fruitiness and a smooth sweet woody base. Very warm, lively and easy to enjoy. Mare goes in a fresher, greener direction — citrus, aromatic greens, a little pepper and woods underneath. It gives me that Mediterranean feel without just smelling like another basic aquatic. Two very different fragrances, but together they really round out the collection nicely. Great mail call, beautiful presentation, and Marcelo absolutely killed it with this Italy Collection.
