Watches - another OCD problem
-
If I were to go for a Rolex, I think I'd want a Sea Dweller, like this one
Although, I have to admit, this special edition Deepsea is pretty choice, too
-
I did some training with Patek Phillipe in NY, and they were the only company that I have ever come across that required their watchmakers to make their own screwdriver tips out of brass. It was a pita because brass is so soft, and you are constantly having to reshape the drivers for the screw slots, but there is a reason the movements look so clean

This is on the bay, its pretty rare, thought it might be of some interest:

^Wow have never seen that one before!
Hmm, I haven't either looks interesting. [Starts searching the Google]

Just got this In the mail yesterday!

Nice! I've always liked Damasko, and the full lume face is super cool. Does that one have the new in-house movement?
-
Don - I love that you got the watch customized with your name.
Haha. Took me a sec there.

Just got this In the mail yesterday!
I had the black-faced version of this watch a couple of years ago, at the height of my WIS phase - absolutely superb build quality, that case hardening really is the nuts.

I found a Blancpain Aqua Lung today.
I've been eying up watches recently because I'm not really that happy with how my Breitling is behaving, but not a lot appeals. Well, apart from the WW2 German piece I posted earlier. This one, however, is special.
Must get saving…

That one is nice. I love the jumbo date feature; I wish more manufacturers would make watches with it.
Wonder if you can get a whale penis leather strap made for it, you know- to really add something special…
-
Never liked that date window placement, but otherwise it's a lovely watch. Been looking for a bronze cased watch for a while now, but have yet to find one that hits on all cylinders for me.
My all time favorite Lum-Tec is this one, however:
Love the blue face, orange lume combo. Tungsten case is another one on my "need" list, too. It just needs a whale penis leather strap.
