Watches - another OCD problem

@tigerpac:

^Which Seamaster are you thinking?

Probably this one, or the black version.

What a tease G!

Shane - that's a great looking watch, especially in the flesh.  I love the co-ax, have the Aqua Terra 8500 and Planet Ocean 8500 and they've been great.

Actually have a vintage Omega Seamaster from 1956 on today too

@Giles looks interesting. So when do we get to see the face?

@urbanwoodsman the Seamaster 300 Master Coaxial would be my choice. It's got the anti-magnetic movement that Omega have just developed, and I like its retro look.

Can't go wrong with a Seamaster. I've wearing mine as I type this.

Sploosh.

Many watch snobs don't care for the "antiqued" dial on this one, but I think it's gorgeous. The one change I'd make is I would like to have the date–I use that a lot, because I have no memory. But the one thing I'd like on that would be a date, because I have trouble remembering what the date is.

I like the new 300 M a lot (hate the bracelet tho, 1/2 polished 1/2 shiny ugh) but would still go Aqua Terra or Planet Ocean over it.

If I bought it, I think it would live on a NATO or distressed leather.

^Good idea

Today I'm wearing this one.

I really enjoy a full lume dial

Like that, Mister Old Man's Hands.

I went down to Harrods this afternoon because they had the prototypes for the upcoming Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic on display.

This is the original version, which was released in 1958. It was based on their Mark XI. It's in a typical, vintage 35mm case, which was a bit small on my wrist.

The new version, here in steel, has been upsized to around 38mm. It's a gorgeous piece, but I'm trying to figure out whether it would work on my wrist. It looks OK in this shot, but felt a touch small. Then again, I'm used to a big hunk of a Breitling.

And here they are together.

Both watches had a Harrods price-tag of £0.01. I offered to take both off their hands, but they seemed unwilling to do so.

I also tried on the Chopard 8HF they've got in stock. It's got an 8 Hz movement, whereas most other high-beat designs top out at 5 Hz.

Chopard are bringing out a black version this year, which adds a power reserve indicator.
