damn guys…didn't thought i'd have that much to read when checking back in this thread
thanks all for the nice feedback...def. gonna check out bucherer soon mate @davito
just googled the snowflake @Friday looks super nice as well…so snowflake or black bay it is, when tudor!
panerai is, well "just" panerai...somehow something special but somehow also a bit of hype to me (or am i wrong?).
i know they make great watches but i'm not sure if panerai represents that what i'm looking for in a watch. who knows...omega is great shit as well...decisions decisions decisions...damn! ^^
anyways, thanks a ton and o/course i'm always open for new brands or anything else

@Giles , this is the one I got, the OG 7169/0. Not sure it's the best match for the bike but if you know anyone who sells clothing perhaps you can find some gear to help coordinate?
hahaha, nice one bk!

@babyknight lovely rare blue bird. Awesome Sir. If you can share a wristshot when you have time would be amazing

@Finn666 snowflake is the form of the hour hand in vintage tudor subs and also some modern submariner models I think (rolex has the mercedes hand), @Qinhan has that beautiful vintage snowflake sub. I am not sure if @Friday was meant to say the black bay which has a snowflake hour hand too, please forgive my ignorance :).
I suggest you call up Bucherer in advance to check if the blackbays are available in display as they sell pretty good from what i was told. -
Some vintage ones from the drawerful…when I stopped wearing suits for the most part, I gave these up. I have quite a lot, mostly Swiss, but Russian, Slav, even Hamiltons, all from yesteryear before prices went nutty. Must do something with them all. These days it's just Seiko, or once in awhile an Omega with textured face that I like (not this one, which is a 1960ss).

@mental:
my TAG Heuer Autavia
the OG 7169/0.
These are very, very lovely.
(and get a Tudor, @Finn666
) -
Amidst all these Rolexes and Tudors and all that, I decide to get a little funky…
Nice choice Seul. But if you haven't already picked it up, definitely give this new Citizen diver a look. Apparently it has a few improvements over the earlier model, and it looks great (and funky) too.

Thanks @davito !

This is an awesome looking chrono. Congrats @babyknight Look forward to seeing more pictures when you have the time.

Thanks, guys! @Anesthetist @davito @Chris
@Finn666 Definitely Panerai! They have a very special look and if there is any hype it's not as you see them all over the place. I just like the authentic vintage, minimalistic style about them.

Wondering if you know… Neither have the "Japanese mov't" on the dial... This is the Japanese version though:

So... The ones without the "fine print" are not Japanese made???

Really interesting video just posted on the Hodinkee website showing how FP Journe makes their most complex watch the Grand Sonniere.
There is also some footage of the dial manufacturing workshop where all Journe dials are made, some nice footage of the Chronometre Bleu dial being made.

Watch Amish, taking the Michael out of the poseurs on Instagram.
I found it via aBlogToWatch, and it sounds like it's a spoof of Watch Anish.

Not really sure. This one has the same model # as the one at Seiya Japan and states made in Japan in the text.

Perhaps the Made in Japan text is just not included in the photo image?
