Watches - another OCD problem

My Mako XL with OGL and a nice pretty background.

And it's smaller sidekick, the BR-o3 B-Rocket. I don't consider them ugly in the least. I think you'd have to see them up close to really view the details and simplicity. I also own two Dogue De Bordeauxs or French Mastiffs, which most think are one the ugliest dogs ever produced. In hindsight, perhaps I do have a taste for things with such repugnant appearances to the point they are considered kinda cool. ;-P
I'm cool with that!
That thing is so fugly that it's cool.

They should use an Allen type screw so it's not as obvious. I hate that shit on a watch that expensive. 15K on a Hublot and that's the level of detail they put into it? No thanks.
-
That's something I never notice on my own, but as soon as someone else points it out, it drives me nuts.

First world problems indeed . Ha ha
Mega great watch
Anesthetist very classy Seiko there

^It's the sort of detail I wish I was able to remain ignorant of, but will from now on die a little inside seeing the lack of symmetry. :|

Exactly…....
But yeah, idk, I feel like an expensive watch needs to be held to a higher standard. I purchased the watch below, but when it arrived and I saw that the minute hand didnt lay perfectly parallel w/ the face (if you can see it angles up toward the tip a little) ..... I was like " ah hell no" .... I had to return it.... But I do prefer the lug system better, I think there called torx head screws.
Im an architect by trade so maybe that has something to do with it, or I have ocd....

Many watches have an upswept minute hand. I owned that exact same watch and if my memory serves me well it had a similar issue.

Second generation LUC 8HF mock-up.
The original watch was an interesting piece, but it never quite appealed, except for the watch geekery of having an 8 Hz Chronometer certified movement. The mark two has a ceramic and titanium case, and adds a power reserve. It's very light as a consequence, but I don't know how much of the movement was fitted to this one.
I do rather like it, but I'm not sure how well it'd play in a more dressy situation. OK, I rarely wear suits, but a watch that can do it all would be rather appealing.
-
I definitely dig that. Nice watch!

Speaking of Gshocks, my cousin Dave who frequents Tokyo on business picked this gem up for me.
It is the newest Japanese domestic (Japan made too) '5000 solid screw in case back, solar, atomic, and the band is super smooth. Next to the Frogman line, this is one of the finest basic Gshocks that Casio makes!

QP magazine has published an announcement of the new Pinion Revival 1969 watch. It takes its name from the new old stock Valjoux 7734 movement at its heart.
I've seen Giles's Pinion, and like its look. But the 1969 is much sharper.
It'll be £4950 / €5,160 / $6,850 direct from Pinion.

Is $7k reasonable for that movement? Not saying it isn't, just asking.
