Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

@Anesthetist, Vacheron have done a 37mm version of the Overseas. I figured it would appeal to you if they hadn't slathered it with diamonds. :o

It retains the antimagnetic case and 150m water resistance of its bigger sibling. A bling-free version would be very tempting.

The picture's from Hodinkee's best women's watches at SIHH. Unfortunately they're not in @Qinhan's price bracket, so I can't help him there.

"Not in my price bracket."  Just some mild, Aussie understatement for you there.

[Anesthetist]

Why must anything less than 38mm be all of a sudden a woman's watch. My God did they ever ruin that. To be honest, on occasion I even wear a Tudor Mini-Sub which is only ~33mm and I don't feel any less of a man.

I'm really surprised that there isn't a diamond-free version. Maybe it'll happen at some point.

@Qinhan I'm a displaced Brit, not an Aussie. I must have picked up the understatement pretty quickly.

Not another one.

I'll let you know that I've got a Certificate of Good Behaviour from the Dutch. Granted, that's probably a low bar to cross since everything is legal and permitted there, but…

How much did that cost?

[Giles]

Price of a good photocopy and a bottle of tippex….

Been looking for a cool dive watch for a while, and this one hit the spot for me. Steinhart Ocean Titanium.

Old Heuer 1000 I've had for a few years

That one looks well loved.  We rarely see watches around here with mileage on them.  I like it.

It may not look like it but my GMT Master II has 25 years of mileage on it

If I wasn't already sold on a GMT Master II, that did it!

Sticking to the Rolex love-in, there's a barely dressed up press release an article at aBlogToWatch announcing that Rolex will be regulating and certifying all movements to run at an accuracy of between -2 and +2 seconds per day. This is more stringent than Omega's 0 / +5 seconds accuracy.

So if you're looking for an excuse to buy one..

Since @Anesthetist is into small watches, I think that this 33 mm Patek will appeal. It's a limited edition with a stainless case and porcelain dial.

The advert's on Timezone, whilst Hodinkee has a write-up. It's up for grabs at $11,500 with box but no papers.

[Anesthetist]

It's beautiful and a rarity with the stainless case! I'm 35 now and it's my goal to have one on my wrist by my 40th bday. Thanks for the info, I love reading about hard to find goodies like this!

I wonder if that means Rolex will be raising prices.  Wait, what was I thinking?  Of course they will.
