Watches - another OCD problem

[Qinhan]

@DougNg:

I just read on a watch forum that a guy sent his Speedy Pro to Omega three times because it wouldn't hold a charge for shit and it would wind and wind and wind.

Members suggested that he may have a broken mainspring.

Turns out he was winding it the wrong way.

I want off this planet NOW

This is fantastic.

@Tempvs:

If you tire of that clock then I'm quite happy to give it a home.

I'm a big fan of the spider. I'd love to get one myself.

So is the two toned Datejust. I couldn't pull off a President if I tried but I used to own that same Datejust and it was beautiful.

I'm actually more mesmerized by the French bulldog in the background

Hey guys, I haven't been following the thread but I was wondering if anyone tried one of those Daluca Cordovan Nato straps? They look pretty nice. Im in the market for a new watch and am not looking to spend a ton. I was thinking,

I think the Cream face on that Seiko would look sweet with the brandy color Horween shell strap.

I'm especially fond of the leather straps from Crown and Buckle. Horween leather and made in the USA

@bertoni not quite but as you see he didnt go for the understated look

[bertoni]

Indeed mate….on the other hand, i'm sure one of those bad boys is worth more than my car

Another Spider, this time from Roger Dubuis.

The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider costs $468,500. So despite a fondness for pocket watches and arachnids, I'll have to pass.

Oh, c'mon- that's less than two months rent in Melbourne.  What's holding you back?

[Maynard Friedman]

^^ Roger Dubius?!

Jaeger LeCoultre have released a new Geophysic with a dead beat second, and a world timer. This is the latter.

I'm disappointed that they've dropped the antimagnetic characteristics of the previous model. At least, as far as I can tell they have.

More at Hodinkee.

Never heard of them. Ill check it out.

I ended up grabbing a strap from DaLuca and that Seiko. LOVE IT.

I had the pleasure of stopping by my local Omega store the other day and trying on a classic Speedie.  I was initially concerned that the 42mm size would look too big on me but, despite looking larger when lined up beside my sub, these actually wear smaller than you would think.

Two classics^
