Watches - another OCD problem

IMO grand seiko is very understated. It is a piece of art. Thanks Carlmart..

I couldn't agree more!

Since there's a bit of Seiko love around here, Hodinkee did a piece on the High Beat Grand Seiko with the limited edition green dial.
They've also got a preview of the upcoming Watches of Knightsbridge auction.
This Omega chronograph looks sweet.
@Snowy - I don't have any plans to get an Apple Watch. It looks interesting, but it doesn't play well with other phones, and I'm pretty tied into the Android world right now.

I am going to get an apple watch. It ties in well with my lifestyle. It will replace my fitbit. I am also a biased apple fanboy.
It is not to replace my Seiko and or my my future dateless Submariner. It will be used strictly as a casual sports watch.

Sent my Oysterdate to this guy for service: http://www.archerwatches.ca/service.html
In April.
Email from him yesterday to let me know he's almost done, but for a new crystal and then 10 days of testing and adjustments.
When he's done, I get the watch and a massive PDF showing every step of his process.
Obsessive?

hahaha. @Snowy , been waiting awhile for that question to be actually asked here. as much as an apple fanboy myself. i wouldnt be getting that watch. i feel that it doesn't really fit the bill as your typical watch, be it a mechanical or digital watch. i just cant seem to justify that as a watch myself. and even like @derivative666 mentioned, i think other sports watches like suunto might be more practical in that sports sense.

Archer is supposed to be the man! Turn around time seems a little steep but I've heard nothing but positive reviews of his work. Let us know how it turns out. I have a beater Tag that is due for service I was going to send up to him.

I found a Tudor Ranger on the Bund strap in Schaap + Citroen in Amsterdam today. It's a really nice piece, and I was pleasantly surprised. I suspect it can be dressed up or down too.
The asking price here is €2300. Not sure what it'll be when it tips up in the UK.

Omega speedmaster
Co-axial Speedy 8). Very nice and looks great on the Nato.
Thanks, some say that a speedy with a date and non manual wind is heresy, but having had a man on the moon winding the movement with a relatively small crown gets old quick!

I was at the Jaeger LeCoultre boutique yesterday, and took a look at the Master Compressor. It's a limited edition of 500, though as one article put it, they don't sell many of their sports watches so that's more a marketing gimmick.
I'm probably going to get the Geophysic. I pre-ordered one and it's just arrived, but I'm not sure if I quite gel with it. Then again, it's probably more me than the above.
Shame JLC don't do a buy one get one free offer.
