    @Giles now I can’t unsee how it’s not on the 10-4 axis and it does bother me. I now prefer the 3 date. I’d rather sacrifice a plain marker for a date than a numeral.

      I'm a fan of the SeaQ, particularly the panoramic date version. I took a look at them when they first came out and I remember comparing one to a Fifty Fathoms, and the Glashütte Original was better finished.

      That said, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe in titanium is a lovely thing, though @Giles is allergic to the position of the date window. On the bracelet it's still 60% of the price of the Planet Ocean. It's also a lot slimmer than the SeaQ and rather light. The movement isn't as pretty, though.

      Whilst I was admiring it, the dealer insisted I look at the very green and very rare chronograph they had in.

      I think at the end of the day you can spend a premium on the brand, finishing, design, or technology. Some people get excited about a bit of hand-anglage on the movement. Others turn their noses up at anything that isn't a Rolex or Patek. I like innovations in horology. You pays your money and all that.

        Every Blancpain that I'm ever interested in, seems to be super limited and impossible to get...my plans are to get @Giles drunk and slip his off of his wrist.

              I love seeing the wide variety of watches here, really awesome folks.

              Just checking back in with the 321 Speedmaster.

                  He's just had a couple of Seiko off my wrist 🙂

                    @goosehd you could always get @Brandrea drunk instead of @Giles and steal his very lovely Speedmaster. 😁

                              This is a watch that I picked up because of the simplicity of the watch face. That and to tide me over…

                                @goosehd dude! Super nice. Noticed a new guy at work had one of those, and we ended up chatting for an hour about the finer things in life. Then somehow the convo turned into salmonella and the resulting “accidents”.
